  • Systems and methods for parallelizing Bayesian optimization
    Patent number: 10346757
    Abstract: Techniques for use in connection with performing optimization using an objective function. The techniques include using at least one computer hardware processor to perform: beginning evaluation of the objective function at a first point; before evaluating the objective function at the first point is completed: identifying, based on likelihoods of potential outcomes of evaluating the objective function at the first point, a second point different from the first point at which to evaluate the objective function; and beginning evaluation of the objective function at the second point.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: May 30, 2014
    Date of Patent: July 9, 2019
    Assignees: President and Fellows of Harvard College, Socpra Sciences ET Genie S.E.C., The Governing Council of the University of Toronto
    Inventors: Ryan P. Adams, Roland Jasper Snoek, Hugo Larochelle
  • Systems and methods for Bayesian optimization using integrated acquisition functions
    Patent number: 9864953
    Abstract: Techniques for use in connection with performing optimization using an objective function. The techniques include using at least one computer hardware processor to perform: identifying, using an integrated acquisition utility function and a probabilistic model of the objective function, at least a first point at which to evaluate the objective function; evaluating the objective function at least at the identified first point; and updating the probabilistic model of the objective function using results of the evaluating to obtain an updated probabilistic model of the objective function.
