Maximally Robust Satisficing Bayesian Optimization

Many design tasks can be cast as black-box function optimization, enabling use of Bayesian optimization to find an ideal design with minimal number of trials. However, often we do not actually need the optimum but instead a sufficiently good solution is enough, for instance a material that is durable enough for its intended use. In most cases there are multiple satisfactory solutions, forming a superlevel set of the function, raising a key question of which one to prefer. We answer this by…
