• Abstract summary: We propose a new type of hybrid model for Bayesian optimization (BO) adept at managing mixed variables. Our proposed new hybrid models (named hybridM) merge the Monte Carlo Tree Search structure (MCTS) for categorical variables with Gaussian Processes (GP) for continuous ones. Our innovations, including dynamic online kernel selection in the surrogate modeling phase, position our hybrid models as an advancement in mixed-variable surrogate models.

• Abstract: This paper presents a new type of hybrid model for Bayesian optimization (BO) adept at managing mixed variables, encompassing both quantitative (continuous and integer) and qualitative (categorical) types. Our proposed new hybrid models (named hybridM) merge the Monte Carlo Tree Search structure (MCTS) for categorical variables with Gaussian Processes (GP) for continuous ones. hybridM leverages the upper confidence bound tree search (UCTS) for MCTS strategy, showcasing the tree architecture's integration into Bayesian optimization. Our innovations, including dynamic online kernel selection in the surrogate modeling phase and a unique UCTS search strategy, position our hybrid models as an advancement in mixed-variable surrogate models. Numerical experiments underscore the superiority of hybrid models, highlighting their potential in Bayesian optimization.

Due to such novel combination and joint optimization, we demonstrate significant improvements in widely publicized real life competition datasets.

• Tree ensemble kernels for Bayesian optimization with known constraints over mixed-feature spaces [54.58348769621782]
  Tree ensembles can be well-suited for black-box optimization tasks such as algorithm tuning and neural architecture search. Two well-known challenges in using tree ensembles for black-box optimization are (i) effectively quantifying model uncertainty for exploration and (ii) optimizing over the piece-wise constant acquisition function. Our framework performs as well as state-of-the-art methods for unconstrained black-box optimization over continuous/discrete features and outperforms competing methods for problems combining mixed-variable feature spaces and known input constraints.
