New ALAS kernel family enhances Bayesian optimization flexibility

Researchers have introduced ALAS, a novel family of Gaussian Process kernels designed for flexible Bayesian optimization. ALAS utilizes symmetric alpha-stable spectral components, allowing it to adapt its effective smoothness from data to better model objective functions with both smooth trends and sharp irregularities. The proposed kernel family includes two parameterizations: ALAS for single stationary components with spectral modulation, and ALAS-Sep for separable, dimension-wise learning to enhance robustness on decomposable objectives. Experimental results on various benchmarks and real-world surrogates indicate that ALAS offers strong and consistent performance across different optimization scenarios. AI
