Offline contextual bayesian optimization

I Char, Y Chung, W Neiswanger… - Advances in …, 2019 - proceedings.neurips.cc
In black-box optimization, an agent repeatedly chooses a configuration to test, so as to find
an optimal configuration. In many practical problems of interest, one would like to optimize …

Continuous multi-task bayesian optimisation with correlation

Bayesian optimization of expected quadratic loss for multiresponse computer experiments with internal noise

MHY Tan - SIAM/ASA Journal on Uncertainty Quantification, 2020 - SIAM
Design of systems based on computer simulations is prevalent. An important idea to improve
design quality, called robust parameter design (RPD), is to optimize control factors based on …

Learning to climb: Constrained contextual bayesian optimisation on a multi-modal legged robot

C Yu, J Cao, A Rosendo - IEEE Robotics and Automation …, 2022 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
Controlling a legged robot to climb obstacles with different heights is challenging, but
important for an autonomous robot to work in an unstructured environment. In this paper, we …
