EFISUR A sampling criterion for constrained bayesian optimization with uncertainties
Résumé
We consider the problem of chance constrained optimization where it is sought to optimize
a function and satisfy constraints, both of which are affected by uncertainties. The real world
declinations of this problem are particularly challenging because of their inherent computational cost.
To tackle such problems, we propose a new Bayesian optimization method. It applies to the situation
where the uncertainty comes from some of the inputs, so that it becomes possible to define an acquisition
criterion in the joint optimized-uncertain input space. The main contribution of this work is
an acquisition criterion that accounts for both the average improvement in objective function and the
constraint reliability. The criterion is derived following the Stepwise Uncertainty Reduction logic and
its maximization provides both optimal design variables and uncertain parameters. Analytical expressions
are given to efficiently calculate the criterion. Numerical studies on test functions are presented.
It is found through experimental comparisons with alternative sampling criteria that the adequation
between the sampling criterion and the problem contributes to the efficiency of the overall optimization.
