Bayesian optimization based on Gaussian process upper confidence bound (GP-UCB) has a theoretical guarantee for optimizing black-box functions.
A new method called randomized robustness measure GP-UCB (RRGP-UCB) is proposed, which avoids explicitly specifying the trade-off parameter β in GP-UCB-based methods for robustness measures.
RRGP-UCB samples the trade-off parameter β from a probability distribution based on a chi-squared distribution, providing tight bounds on the expected value of regret.
The usefulness of RRGP-UCB is demonstrated through numerical experiments.
