多客户端协作优化复杂场景下的最佳设计,提升效率与适应性。
Collaborative Contextual Bayesian Optimization

- 多客户端共享上下文信息,联合优化目标函数
- 在异构客户端下仍实现近似最优性能,显著优于单机方法
- 支持隐私保护通信,适用于工业真实场景
通过顺序数据采集发现最优设计在诸多现实应用中至关重要。尽管贝叶斯优化(BO)在此领域表现优异,但近年来研究重点转向情境特定的最优设计,即上下文贝叶斯优化(CBO)。与传统BO不同,CBO需从上下文空间到最优设计的完整映射,要求同时在各情境间探索、并在每个情境内进行利用。在现代多客户端任务中,各客户端可能异质但相关,协作可显著提升学习效率。本文提出CCBO:协同上下文贝叶斯优化,一个统一框架,支持多个客户端在可控上下文中联合执行CBO,支持在线协作和离线初始化自同伴历史信念,含可选隐私保护通信机制。理论证明其具有次线性后悔率,并通过大量仿真及真实热轧应用验证,即使在客户端异质条件下,仍显著优于现有方法。代码见https://github.com/cchihyu/Collaborative-Contextual-Bayesian-Optimization。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Discovering optimal designs through sequential data collection is essential in many real-world applications. While Bayesian Optimization (BO) has achieved remarkable success in this setting, growing attention has recently turned to context-specific optimal design, formalized as Contextual Bayesian Optimization (CBO). Unlike BO, CBO is inherently more challenging as it must approximate an entire mapping from the context space to its corresponding optimal design, requiring simultaneous exploration across contexts and exploitation within each. In many modern applications, such tasks arise across multiple potentially heterogeneous but related clients, where collaboration can significantly improve learning efficiency. We propose CCBO, Collaborative Contextual Bayesian Optimization, a unified framework enabling multiple clients to jointly perform CBO with controllable contexts, supporting both online collaboration and offline initialization from peers' historical beliefs, with an optional privacy-preserving communication mechanism. We establish sublinear regret guarantees and demonstrate, through extensive simulations and a real-world hot rolling application, that CCBO achieves substantial improvements over existing approaches even under client heterogeneity. The code to reproduce the results can be found at https://github.com/cchihyu/Collaborative-Contextual-Bayesian-Optimization
