• Abstract: Correctly setting the parameters of a production machine is essential to improve product quality, increase efficiency, and reduce production costs while also supporting sustainability goals. Identifying optimal parameters involves an iterative process of producing an object and evaluating its quality. Minimizing the number of iterations is, therefore, desirable to reduce the costs associated with unsuccessful attempts. This work introduces a method to optimize the machine parameters in the system itself using a Bayesian optimization algorithm. By leveraging existing machine data, we use a transfer learning approach in order to identify an optimum with minimal iterations, resulting in a cost-effective transfer learning algorithm. We validate our approach on a laser machine for cutting sheet metal in the real world.

  -freeness in online learning refers to the adaptivity of an algorithm with respect to the optimal decision in hindsight. In this paper, we design such algorithms in the presence of switching cost - the latter penalizes the optimistic updates required by parameter-freeness. We propose a simple yet powerful algorithm for Online Linear Optimization (OLO) with switching cost, which improves the existing suboptimal regret bound [ZCP22a] to the optimal rate.
