New Bayesian optimization method enhances source localization and acoustic inversion

Researchers have developed a novel Bayesian optimization technique using kernel ensembles and a disagreement-based acquisition function to improve source localization and acoustic inversion. This method combines multiple Gaussian process models with different kernel families to adapt to the objective function without pre-committing to a single kernel. Experiments on simulated and real-world data demonstrated that this ensemble approach achieves lower final objective values and reduces parameter estimation error compared to other Bayesian optimization strategies.

    Bayesian optimization with kernel ensembles and disagreement-based acquisition for source localization and acoustic inversion

    arXiv:2609.14262v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Joint source localization and geoacoustic inversion requires optimizing an objective built from an expensive normal mode propagation model. Bayesian optimization (BO) with a Gaussian process (GP) surrogate can obtain accurate parame…
