arXiv:2606. 02351v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Bayesian optimization (BO) is a popular and effective approach for tuning expensive, noisy experiments, but requires the formulation of an explicit objective function.

arXiv:2601. 07094v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Bayesian optimization (BO) iteratively fits a Gaussian process (GP) surrogate to accumulated evaluations and selects new queries via an acquisition function.

arXiv:2607. 04356v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Bayesian Optimization (BO) generally begins with an initialization phase: a batch of $n_0$ uninformed evaluations.

arXiv:2603. 09276v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: We study a widely used Bayesian optimization method, Gaussian process Thompson sampling (GP-TS), under the assumption that the objective function is a sample path from a GP.
