Despite the success of BO, its performance may decrease exponentially as the dimensionality increases. A common framework to tackle this problem is to assume that the objective function depends on a limited set of features that lie on a low-dimensional manifold embedded in the high-dimensional ambient space. The latent space can be linear or more generally nonlinear. To learn feature mapping, existing works usually use an encode-decoder framework which is either computationally expensive or susceptible to overfittting when the labeled data is limited. This paper proposes a new approach for BO in high dimensions by exploiting a new representation of the objective function. Our approach combines a random linear projection to reduce the dimensionality, with a representation learning of the nonlinear manifold. When the geometry of the latent manifold is available, a solution to exploit this geometry is proposed for representation learning. In contrast, we use a neural network. To mitigate overfitting by using the neural network, we train the feature mapping in a geometry-aware semi-supervised manner. Our approach enables efficient optimizing of BO's acquisition function in the low-dimensional space, with the advantage of projecting back to the original high-dimensional space compared to existing works in the same setting. Finally, we show empirically that our algorithm outperforms other high-dimensional BO baselines in various synthetic functions and real applications.","url_abs":"https://arxiv.org/abs/2412.16554v1","url_pdf":"https://arxiv.org/pdf/2412.16554v1.pdf","source":{"archive":"pwc-archive (Hugging Face), CC BY-SA 4.0","snapshot":"2025-07-28","licence_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/legalcode","row_kind":"abstracts"},"code_links":[{"paper_slug":"high-dimensional-bayesian-optimization-via-7","repo_url":"https://github.com/fsoft-aic/rpm-bo","is_official":1,"mentioned_in_paper":1,"mentioned_in_github":0,"framework":"pytorch","reach":null}],"tasks":[{"task_slug":"bayesian-optimization","task_name":"Bayesian Optimization"},{"task_slug":"representation-learning","task_name":"Representation Learning"}],"methods":[{"method_slug":"set","method_name":"SET"}],"datasets_introduced":[],"methods_introduced":[],"results":[],"syntology":{"atlas_url":null,"mcp":null,"developers":"https://syntology.ai/developers"},"arxiv_metadata":null,"syntology_extracted_results":null}
