arXiv:2603. 02970v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: We introduce LAGO, a LocAl-Global Optimization framework coupling Bayesian Optimization (BO) and gradient-based trust region local refinement through an adaptive competition mechanism for smooth expensive-to-evaluate objective functions with available gradients.

The paper introduces BO-pro-c, a Bayesian optimisation algorithm that employs a product-of-experts Gaussian process (GP-pro-c) as its surrogate model. GP-pro-c combines multiple local GP experts to improve uncertainty quantification, reduce computational cost, and preserve global correlations, addressing the cubic complexity of single global GP models. Experiments show that BO-pro-c achieves competitive optimisation performance with a 0.9% lower simple regret and a 39.4% reduction in computational overhead compared to a single‑global‑GP baseline.
