In this paper, we deal with batch Bayesian Optimization (Bayes-Opt) problems over a box and we propose a novel bi-objective optimization (BOO) acquisition strategy to sample points where to evaluate the objective function. The BOO problem involves the Gaussian Process posterior mean and variance functions, which, in most of the acquisition strategies from the literature, are generally used in combination, frequently through scalarization. However, such scalarization could compromise the Bayes-Opt process performance, as getting the desired trade-off between exploration and exploitation is not trivial in most cases. We instead aim to reconstruct the Pareto front of the BOO problem based on optimizing both the posterior mean as well as the variance, thus generating multiple trade-offs without any a priori knowledge. The reconstruction is performed through the Non-dominated Sorting Memetic Algorithm (NSMA), recently proposed in the literature and proved to be effective in solving hard MOO problems. Finally, we present two clustering approaches, each of them operating on a different space, to select potentially optimal points from the Pareto front. We compare our methodology with well-known acquisition strategies from the literature, showing its effectiveness on a wide set of experiments.
