• Abstract: Multi fidelity Bayesian optimization (MFBO) leverages experimental and or computational data of varying quality and resource cost to optimize towards desired maxima cost effectively. This approach is particularly attractive for chemical discovery due to MFBO's ability to integrate diverse data sources. Here, we investigate the application of MFBO to accelerate the identification of promising molecules or materials. We specifically analyze the conditions under which lower fidelity data can enhance performance compared to single-fidelity problem formulations. We address two key challenges, selecting the optimal acquisition function, understanding the impact of cost, and data fidelity correlation. We then discuss how to assess the effectiveness of MFBO for chemical discovery.

  Large Language Model (LLM) based multi-agent systems (MAS) show remarkable potential in collaborative problem-solving. Yet they still face critical challenges: low communication efficiency, poor scalability, and a lack of effective parameter-updating optimization methods. We present Optima, a novel framework that addresses these issues by significantly enhancing both communication efficiency and task effectiveness.

  Multi-fidelity Bayesian Optimization (MFBO) is a promising framework to speed up materials and molecular discovery. Despite its potential use in chemical tasks, there is a lack of systematic evaluation of the many parameters playing a role in MFBO. We provide guidelines and recommendations to decide when to use MFBO in experimental settings.

  Reward hacking, also termed reward overoptimization, remains a critical challenge. We propose a framework for reward modeling, namely InfoRM, by introducing a variational information bottleneck objective. We show that InfoRM's overoptimization detection mechanism is not only effective but also robust across a broad range of datasets.

• Physics-Aware Multifidelity Bayesian Optimization: a Generalized Formulation [0.0]
  Multifidelity Bayesian methods (MFBO) allow to include costly high-fidelity responses for a sub-selection of queries only. State-of-the-art methods rely on a purely data-driven search and do not include explicit information about the physical context. This paper acknowledges that prior knowledge about the physical domains of engineering problems can be leveraged to accelerate these data-driven searches.
