Tree ensemble kernels for Bayesian optimization with known constraints over mixed-feature spaces

NeurIPS 2022accept

Tree ensembles can be well-suited for black-box optimization tasks such as algorithm tuning and neural architecture search, as they achieve good predictive performance with little or no manual tuning, naturally handle discrete feature spaces, and are relatively insensitive to outliers in the trainin…

Partition-Based Formulations for Mixed-Integer Optimization of Trained ReLU Neural Networks

NeurIPS 2021poster

This paper introduces a class of mixed-integer formulations for trained ReLU neural networks. The approach balances model size and tightness by partitioning node inputs into a number of groups and forming the convex hull over the partitions via disjunctive programming. At one extreme, one partition…
