Further, we use a novel\napproach to sampling support points, allowing faster construction of the\nacquisition function. This allows us to achieve optimization with lower\noverheads than previous approaches and is implemented for a more general class\nof problem. We show this approach to be effective on synthetic and real world\nbenchmark problems.","url_abs":"http://arxiv.org/abs/1703.04335v2","url_pdf":"http://arxiv.org/pdf/1703.04335v2.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":"practical-bayesian-optimization-for-variable","repo_url":"https://github.com/markm541374/gpbo","is_official":1,"mentioned_in_paper":1,"mentioned_in_github":1,"framework":"none","reach":null}],"tasks":[{"task_slug":"bayesian-optimization","task_name":"Bayesian Optimization"}],"methods":[],"datasets_introduced":[],"methods_introduced":[],"results":[],"syntology":{"atlas_url":"https://app.syntology.ai/?focus=1703.04335","mcp":null,"developers":"https://syntology.ai/developers"},"arxiv_metadata":null,"syntology_extracted_results":null}
