Bayesian Optimisation for Mixed-Variable Inputs using Value Proposals

Abstract: Many real-world optimisation problems are defined over both categorical and continuous variables, yet efficient optimisation methods such as Bayesian Optimisation (BO) are not designed to handle such mixedvariable search spaces. Recent approaches to this problem cast the selection of the categorical variables as a bandit problem, operating independently alongside a BO component which optimises the continuous variables. In this paper, we adopt a holistic view and aim to consolidate optimisation of the categoric… Show more

“…The GP models an underlying probability distribution over functions f and is represented by mean and covariance functions (or kernel) µ(x) and κ(x, x ′ ) respectively, where f (x) ∼ GP(µ(x), κ(x, x ′ )). In this work, our choice of kernel κ is the mixed-kernel (Ru et al 2020;Parker-Holder et al 2021;Wan et al 2021;Zuo et al 2022) which is suited towards modelling mixed-input type problems (for additional details on the mixed-kernel, please refer to the supplementary material).…”
