International audience. An increasing number of time-consuming simulators exhibit a complex noise structure that depends on the inputs. To conduct studies with limited budgets of evaluations, new surrogate methods are required to model simultaneously the mean and variance fields. To this end, we present recent advances in Gaussian process modeling with input-dependent noise. First, we describe a simple, yet efficient, joint modeling framework that rely on replication for both speed and accuracy. Then we tackle the issue of leveraging replication and exploration in a sequential manner for various goals, such as obtaining a globally accurate model, for optimization, contour finding, and active subspace estimation. We illustrate these on applications coming from epidemiology and inventory management.

International audience. One way to reduce the time of conducting optimization studies is to evaluate designs in parallel rather than just one-at-a-time. For expensive-to-evaluate black-boxes, batch versions of Bayes...

Adaptive Replication Strategies in Trust-Region-Based Bayesian Optimization of Stochastic Functions

Archive ouverte | Binois, Mickael | CCSD

We develop and analyze a method for stochastic simulation optimization relying on Gaussian process models within a trust-region framework. We are interested in the case when the variance of the objective function is large. We prop...
