Expected Hypervolume Maximization for Multiobjective Optimization under Uncertainties

Read the original on arXiv Machine Learning →

The paper proposes a Bayesian decision framework for multiobjective optimization under uncertainty, focusing on maximizing the expected hypervolume over a finite set of input points. It demonstrates that gradient‑based stochastic optimization can be applied, especially when dominated points are handled carefully, and suggests using Gaussian Processes as differentiable surrogate models when direct gradients are unavailable. Additionally, the authors introduce active learning strategies via acquisition functions to build surrogate models tailored to the multiobjective problem and evaluate these strategies on simple analytical benchmarks.

Exploiting Separability in Multi-Scale Grey-Box Bayesian Optimization

arXiv:2608. 03045v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We consider grey-box optimization problems where the decision variables naturally partition into black-box variables (as arguments to an expensive black-box function) and white-box variables, governed by a set of explicit, closed-form equations that also depend on the output of the black-box function.

Modernizing HEBO: a robust Bayesian optimization baseline for practical heteroskedastic and non-stationary problems

arXiv:2607. 10669v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Bayesian optimization is increasingly used to guide data-efficient experimentation in chemistry, materials science, and related laboratory settings, but its practical performance depends strongly on how well surrogate-model assumptions match the geometry and noise structure of the underlying objective.
