Distributionally robust optimization techniques in batch Bayesian optimization

We propose a novel, theoretically-grounded, acquisition function for batch Bayesian optimisation informed by insights from distributionally robust optimization. Our acquisition function is a lower bound on the well-known Expected Improvement function – which requires a multi-dimensional Gaussian Exp...
