Gaussian process (GP) models have become a well-established framework for the adaptive design of costly experiments, and notably of computer experiments. GP-based sequential …
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 …

This paper considers the problem of simultaneously identifying the optima for a (continuous or discrete) set of correlated tasks, where the performance of a particular input parameter on …
We formalize the problem of contextual optimization through the lens of Bayesian experimental design and propose CO-BED—a general, model-agnostic framework for …

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 …
Gaussian random field (GRF) conditional simulation is a key ingredient in many spatial statistics problems for computing Monte-Carlo estimators and quantifying uncertainties on …
This dissertation deals with optimizing expensive or time-consuming black-box functionsto obtain the set of all optimal compromise solutions, ie the Pareto front. In automotivedesign …
