The paper introduces Finite-Library Input-Warped Bayesian Optimization (FLIWBO), a method that selects input warps from a finite library to adapt the geometry used by Gaussian‑process Bayesian optimization. FLIWBO maintains high‑probability convergence guarantees while improving sample efficiency on problems where raw coordinates poorly match the objective’s geometry, such as log‑scaled hyperparameters or localized peaks. Experiments on synthetic benchmarks, Fashion‑MNIST hyperparameter tuning, and a 20‑dimensional multi‑agent system design demonstrate that FLIWBO‑UCB outperforms raw‑coordinate GP‑UCB and other methods with regret guarantees, especially under misspecified geometry.

The paper introduces Gradient-based Sample Selection Bayesian Optimization (GSSBO), a method that builds the Gaussian process surrogate on a strategically chosen subset of samples rather than the full dataset. By using gradient information to eliminate redundant points while keeping diversity and representativeness, GSSBO achieves sublinear regret bounds and reduces the cubic computational cost of standard BO. Experiments on synthetic and real-world tasks show that this approach maintains comparable optimization performance while significantly cutting GP fitting time and resource usage.
