NeuroPareto introduces a novel architecture for multi-objective optimization that leverages Bayesian classifiers and Deep Gaussian Processes to efficiently navigate high-dimensional parameter spaces. By disentangling uncertainty components and utilizing history-conditioned acquisition strategies, the method significantly reduces computational overhead while maintaining accuracy in complex search landscapes. This advancement is particularly relevant for researchers tackling expensive evaluation tasks where balancing convergence and diversity under strict resource constraints is critical.
NeuroPareto: Calibrated Acquisition for Costly Many-Goal Search in Vast Parameter Spaces
arXiv:2602.03901v5 Announce Type: replace Abstract: The pursuit of optimal trade-offs in high-dimensional search spaces under stringent computational constraints poses a fundamental challenge for contemporary multi-objective optimization. We develop NeuroPareto, a cohesive architecture that integrates rank-centric filtering, uncertainty disentanglement, and history-conditioned acquisition strategies to navigate complex objective landscapes. A calibrated Bayesian classifier estimates epistemic uncertainty across non-domination tiers, enabling rapid generation of high-quality candidates with minimal evaluation cost. Deep Gaussian Process surrogates further separate predictive uncertainty into reducible and irreducible components, providing refined predictive means and risk-aware signals for downstream selection. A lightweight acquisition network, trained online from historical hypervolume improvements, guides expensive evaluations toward regions balancing convergence and diversity. With hierarchical screening and amortized surrogate updates, the method maintains accuracy while keeping computational overhead low. Experiments on DTLZ and ZDT suites and a subsurface energy extraction task show that NeuroPareto consistently outperforms classifier-enhanced and surrogate-assisted baselines in Pareto proximity and hypervolume.
