    Sharper Regret Bounds for Time-Varying Gaussian Process Bandits with Constant Exploration

    arXiv:2608.18863v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We study Bayesian optimization in a time-varying environment where the unknown reward function evolves according to a Gaussian process drift model. Existing GP-UCB analyses in this setting typically require the exploration parameter…

    Improved Regret Analysis for Parallel Gaussian Process Bandit Optimization

    arXiv:2608.16492v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: This paper studies the regret analysis for parallel Gaussian process (GP) bandit optimization. The known regret upper bounds for the widely used GP batched upper confidence bound and GP batched Thompson sampling (GP-BTS) suffer from…
