We propose a practical Bayesian optimization method over sets, to minimize a black-box function that takes a set as a single input. Because set inputs are permutation-invariant, traditional Gaussian process-based Bayesian optimization strategies which assume vector inputs can fall short. To address this, we develop a Bayesian optimization method with emph{set kernel} that is used to build surrogate functions. This kernel accumulates similarity over set elements to enforce permutation-invariance, but this comes at a greater computational cost. To reduce this burden, we propose two key components: (i) a more efficient approximate set kernel which is still positive-definite and is an unbiased estimator of the true set kernel with upper-bounded variance in terms of the number of subsamples, (ii) a constrained acquisition function optimization over sets, which uses symmetry of the feasible region that defines a set input. Finally, we present several numerical experiments which demonstrate that our method outperforms other methods.
Marginalising over families of Gaussian Process kernels produces flexible model classes with well-calibrated uncertainty estimates. Existing approaches require likelihood evaluations of many kernels, rendering them prohibitively expensive for larger
This paper presents novel mixed-type Bayesian optimization (BO) algorithms to accelerate the optimization of a target objective function by exploiting correlated auxiliary information of binary type that can be more cheaply obtained, such as in polic
Model-based approaches bear great promise for decision making of agents interacting with the physical world. In the context of spatial environments, different types of problems such as localisation, mapping, navigation or autonomous exploration are t
We propose a practical Bayesian optimization method using Gaussian process regression, of which the marginal likelihood is maximized where the number of model selection steps is guided by a pre-defined threshold. Since Bayesian optimization consumes
Bayesian optimization (BO) methods often rely on the assumption that the objective function is well-behaved, but in practice, this is seldom true for real-world objectives even if noise-free observations can be collected. Common approaches, which try
