- 适合需要快速响应的工业优化场景,如工程设计与调控
许多现实应用需在不同运行条件下求解一系列昂贵的多目标优化问题(EMOPs),可建模为参数化昂贵多目标优化问题(P-EMOPs),每个任务参数对应一个独立优化实例。现有方法虽能为单个任务找到有限组帕累托最优解,但面对连续的任务参数空间时,因存在无限多个独立问题而难以应对。为此,本文提出学习一个逆模型,实现对连续任务偏好空间中多目标优化成本的摊销,使任意查询均可直接预测解,无需昂贵重评估。该方法引入新型参数化多目标贝叶斯优化器,通过交替使用条件生成模型采样解和基于获取策略的任务间协同搜索,实现跨任务高效优化,并最终实现对未见参数化EMOP的直接解预测。理论分析证明了利用任务感知高斯过程增强任务间协同可加快收敛速度;合成与真实世界基准上的实验进一步验证了所提优化器的有效性。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Many real-world applications require solving families of expensive multi-objective optimization problems~(EMOPs) under varying operational conditions. This can be formulated as parametric expensive multi-objective optimization problems (P-EMOPs) where each task parameter defines a distinct optimization instance. Current multi-objective Bayesian optimization methods have been widely used for finding finite sets of Pareto optimal solutions for each task. However, P-EMOPs present a fundamental challenge: the continuous task parameter space can contain infinite distinct problems, each requiring separate expensive evaluations. To address this, we propose learning an inverse model to amortize the multi-objective optimization cost across the continuous task-preference space, enabling direct solution prediction for any query without the need for expensive re-evaluation. This paper introduces a novel parametric multi-objective Bayesian optimizer that learns this inverse model by alternating between (1) generative solution sampling via conditional generative models and (2) acquisition-driven search leveraging inter-task synergies. This approach enables effective optimization across multiple tasks and finally achieves direct solution prediction for unseen parameterized EMOPs without re-evaluations. We theoretically justify the faster convergence by leveraging inter-task synergies through task-aware Gaussian processes. Based on that, empirical studies in synthetic and real-world benchmarks further verify the effectiveness of the proposed parametric optimizer.
