From Sorting Algorithms to Scalable Kernels: Bayesian Optimization in High-Dimensional Permutation Spaces

Read the original on arXiv AI →

arXiv:2507. 13263v4 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Bayesian Optimization (BO) is a powerful tool for black-box optimization, but its application to high-dimensional permutation spaces is severely limited by the challenge of defining scalable representations.

Inducing Permutation Invariant Priors in Bayesian Optimization for Carbon Capture and Storage Applications

The paper introduces a new Gaussian Process kernel, GP‑Perm, that incorporates permutation invariance for Bayesian Optimization tasks involving well placement in Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) projects. It compares sets via a stable divergence between their empirical representations and can be combined with standard kernels for additional inputs. The authors also explore a Deep Kernel Learning model using a Deep Sets architecture as a learned invariant baseline, evaluating both approaches on eight use cases, including seven synthetic benchmarks and a realistic CCS case study in the Johansen formation.
