tidyHEBO is a BoTorch-native Bayesian optimization tool that jointly applies Yeo-Johnson output warping to a Gaussian‑process surrogate, evaluates acquisition functions on the original objective scale, and conducts constrained cumulative Pareto search across multiple acquisition criteria. Using only default settings, it outperformed other methods on the Olympus benchmark and performed strongly on synthetic, Needle‑in‑a‑Haystack, and Bayesmark tasks, while adaptive batching offered a trade‑off between parallelization and optimization quality. These results position tidyHEBO as a robust, reproducible optimizer suitable for diverse practical problems, including scientific applications and hyperparameter tuning.
The paper investigates how treating the optimization objective as a design variable can improve Remaining Useful Life (RUL) prediction in predictive maintenance. Five model architectures are compared under single‑objective and multi‑objective hyperparameter optimization, with the latter using NSGA‑II and Entropy‑CRITIC weighting to balance accuracy and prediction timeliness. Results on NASA C‑MAPSS and BackBlaze datasets show that multi‑objective optimization reduces directional imbalance in predictions and can alter model rankings, highlighting the importance of objective choice in RUL modeling.
