Simple and Scalable Parallelized Bayesian Optimization

24 Jun 2020  ·  Masahiro Nomura ·

In recent years, leveraging parallel and distributed computational resources has become essential to solve problems of high computational cost. Bayesian optimization (BO) has shown attractive results in those expensive-to-evaluate problems such as hyperparameter optimization of machine learning algorithms. While many parallel BO methods have been developed to search efficiently utilizing these computational resources, these methods assumed synchronous settings or were not scalable. In this paper, we propose a simple and scalable BO method for asynchronous parallel settings. Experiments are carried out with a benchmark function and hyperparameter optimization of multi-layer perceptrons, which demonstrate the promising performance of the proposed method.
