New BBO-Pile dataset enables foundation models for black-box optimization

By PulseAugur Editorial · Summary by gemini-2.5-flash-lite from 4 sources

Researchers have introduced BBO-Pile, a novel open-source dataset containing over 500,000 optimization trajectories across nearly 3,100 black-box functions. This dataset aims to address the limitations of previous work that relied on private or synthetic data, thereby hindering reproducibility and real-world generalization. The researchers used BBO-Pile to train foundation models for black-box optimization, demonstrating that large-scale pre-training is an effective strategy for developing models that can imitate existing optimization methods.

    Black-Box Optimization From Small Offline Datasets via Meta Learning with Synthetic Tasks

    arXiv:2604.12325v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: We consider the problem of offline black-box optimization, where the goal is to discover optimal designs (e.g., molecules or materials) from past experimental data. A key challenge in this setting is data scarcity: in many scien…

    Meta-Black-Box Optimization Can Do Search Guidance for Expensive Constrained Multi-Objective Optimization

    Existing Meta-Black-Box Optimization (MetaBBO) methods focus on how to search when controlling optimizers, but largely overlook where to search. We propose MetaSG-SAEA, a bi-level MetaBBO framework for expensive constrained multi-objective optimization problems (ECMOPs), in which…
