This research advances Human-in-the-Loop Bayesian Optimization by integrating probabilistic constraints and robustness metrics directly into the Pareto front for interactive expert selection. By visualizing trade-offs between performance, uncertainty, and constraint satisfaction, the framework enables domain experts to iteratively refine development objectives in complex bioprocesses like CHO cell culture. The approach represents a significant methodological step toward reliable, resource-efficient optimization where human judgment guides automated exploration under strict operational limits.
A Human-in-the-Loop Bayesian Optimization Framework for Constraint-Aware Bioprocess Development
arXiv:2606.19230v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: This work presents an extension to Pareto Front Guided Sampling (PFGS), a Human-in-the-Loop (HitL) Bayesian Optimization (BO) framework in which Gaussian process (GP) surrogate-derived quantities are reformulated as objectives of a multi-objective optimization problem, and the resulting Pareto front is exposed to a domain expert for interactive candidate selection rather than returning a single automated recommendation. The framework is extended in two directions: constrained optimization is addressed by incorporating the posterior probability of satisfying output specification limits as an explicit Pareto objective, computed analytically from the GP posterior distribution; robust optimization is addressed by a Monte Carlo sampling strategy that estimates expected lower-confidence performance over a user-defined variability of input perturbations, capturing performance degradation under likely implementation deviations. The resulting multi-dimensional Pareto representation renders trade-offs between predicted performance, model uncertainty, probabilistic constraint satisfaction, and input robustness simultaneously visible through pairwise two-dimensional projections on an interactive dashboard, enabling selection criteria to be iteratively refined as the surrogate model improves and development objectives evolve. The framework is showcased on an eight-dimensional fed-batch Chinese Hamster Ovary (CHO) cell culture simulator demonstrating systematic identification of high-performing, feasibility-compliant, and perturbation-resilient operating conditions, and illustrating how expert-defined requirements provide a principled stopping criterion and support informed allocation of experimental resources.
