Robust Bayesian Optimization via Localized Online Conformal Prediction
- Bayesian optimization (BO) is a sequential approach for optimizing black-box objective functions using zeroth-order noisy observations.
- To address the issue of model misspecification in BO, a localized online conformal prediction-based Bayesian optimization (LOCBO) algorithm is introduced.
- LOCBO corrects the likelihood of the Gaussian process (GP) model through localized online conformal prediction, resulting in a calibrated posterior distribution on the objective function.
- Experiments on synthetic and real-world optimization tasks confirm that LOCBO outperforms state-of-the-art BO algorithms in the presence of model misspecification.

Identifying Predictions That Influence the Future: Detecting Performative Concept Drift in Data Streams
- Concept drift is extensively studied in stream learning, but the impact of model predictions on concept drift is often overlooked.
- Performative drift refers to situations where a model's predictions induce concept drift in a self-fulfilling or self-negating manner.
- A novel performative drift detection approach called CheckerBoard Performative Drift Detection (CB-PDD) is proposed.
- CB-PDD shows high efficacy, low false detection rates, and the ability to effectively detect performative drift in datasets.

Provably-Safe Neural Network Training Using Hybrid Zonotope Reachability Analysis
- This work addresses the challenge of enforcing constraints on the output of neural networks, particularly for safety-critical control applications.
- The proposed method utilizes reachability analysis with scaled hybrid zonotopes, which allows for the exact image of a non-convex input set to be encouraged for a neural network with rectified linear unit (ReLU) nonlinearities.
- The method has shown to be effective and fast for networks with up to 240 neurons, with the computational complexity dominated by inverse operations on matrices that scale linearly in size with the number of neurons and complexity of input and unsafe sets.
- The practicality of the method has been demonstrated by training a forward-invariant neural network controller for a non-convex input set and generating safe reach-avoid plans for a black-box dynamical system.
