Multi-Objective Optimization Using the R2 Utility

1 code implementation19 May 2023 Ben Tu, Nikolas Kantas, Robert M. Lee, Behrang Shafei

In order to solve this vector-valued optimization problem, practitioners often appeal to the use of scalarization functions in order to transform the multi-objective problem into a collection of single-objective problems.

Joint Entropy Search for Multi-objective Bayesian Optimization

1 code implementation6 Oct 2022 Ben Tu, Axel Gandy, Nikolas Kantas, Behrang Shafei

Many real-world problems can be phrased as a multi-objective optimization problem, where the goal is to identify the best set of compromises between the competing objectives.

On stochastic mirror descent with interacting particles: convergence properties and variance reduction

no code implementations15 Jul 2020 Anastasia Borovykh, Nikolas Kantas, Panos Parpas, Grigorios A. Pavliotis

A second alternative is to use a fixed step-size and run independent replicas of the algorithm and average these.

The sharp, the flat and the shallow: Can weakly interacting agents learn to escape bad minima?

no code implementations10 May 2019 Nikolas Kantas, Panos Parpas, Grigorios A. Pavliotis

As a first step towards understanding this question we formalize it as an optimization problem with weakly interacting agents.

On Adaptive Estimation for Dynamic Bernoulli Bandits

no code implementations8 Dec 2017 Xue Lu, Niall Adams, Nikolas Kantas

In this paper, we overcome the shortcoming of slow response to change by deploying adaptive estimation in the standard methods and propose a new family of algorithms, which are adaptive versions of $\epsilon$-Greedy, UCB, and Thompson sampling.
