用检索增强的软提示实现动态环境下的低成本黑箱优化
RASP-Tuner: Retrieval-Augmented Soft Prompts for Context-Aware Black-Box Optimization in Non-Stationary Environments

- 通过检索历史上下文生成软提示,指导低维空间中的参数调整
- 在9个合成任务中比基线方法减少8-12倍运行时间,累计损失更优
- 适合需要快速响应且上下文变化频繁的实时系统调优场景
许多部署系统存在随外部上下文变化的黑箱目标函数。当上下文反复进入有限的潜在状态时,忽略历史信息会导致重复适应成本;而每次更新代价又需低廉,难以持续进行高观测数下的全量高斯过程(GP)重拟合。本文将在线调优建模为上下文相关的后悔值最小化,提出RASP-Tuner:首先通过检索相似历史上下文识别状态代理;其次使用混合专家代理模型,输入包含参数、上下文和检索到的软提示,预测短期损失;最后主要在低维提示子空间中调整,仅在标量误差或分歧激增时才触发完整代理更新。一个RealErrorComposer通过EMA稳定化的逻辑得分,将异构流式指标映射到[0,1]区间,提供单一可微训练目标。在九个非平稳合成基准、对抗性上下文检验及三个真实表格式数据流上,RASP-Tuner在七项合成任务中优于或匹配我们实现的GP-UCB与CMA-ES,在T=100的时域内表现更佳,同时在相同硬件下每步耗时仅为滑动窗口GP-UCB的8-12分之一。在簇分离强凸模型(RA-GD)中的理想化分析给出了有界动态后悔的充分条件;实际部署管道违反了其中若干前提,本文也指出了尚未解决的差距。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Many deployed systems expose black-box objectives whose minimizing configuration shifts with an externally observed context. When contexts revisit a small set of latent regimes, an optimizer that discards history pays repeated adaptation cost; when each step must remain inexpensive, full Gaussian-process (GP) refits at high observation counts are difficult to sustain. We cast online tuning as context-conditioned regret minimization and present RASP-Tuner, which instantiates a decomposition motivated by first principles: (i) identify a regime proxy by retrieving similar past contexts; (ii) predict short-horizon loss with a mixture-of-experts surrogate whose input concatenates parameters, context, and a retrieved soft prompt; (iii) adapt chiefly in a low-dimensional prompt subspace, invoking full surrogate updates only when scalarized error or disagreement spikes. A RealErrorComposer maps heterogeneous streaming metrics to [0,1] via EMA-stabilized logistic scores, supplying a single differentiable training target. On nine synthetic non-stationary benchmarks, an adversarial-context sanity check, and three tabular real-world streams (Section on real-world experiments), RASP-Tuner improves or matches cumulative regret relative to our GP-UCB and CMA-ES implementations on seven of nine synthetic tasks under paired tests at horizon T=100, while recording 8-12 times lower wall-clock per step than sliding-window GP-UCB on identical hardware. Idealized analysis in a cluster-separated, strongly convex regime model (RA-GD) supplies sufficient conditions for bounded dynamic regret; the deployed pipeline violates several of these premises, and we articulate which gaps remain open.
