Abstract
Bayesian optimisation excels in small data regimes, but its large computational overhead and the cubic cost of vanilla Gaussian Process models makes it impractical as soon as the data size reaches thousands of points. In this talk, we will expose some of the work developed at Secondmind, fueled by real-world applications from the automotive industry, to expand the capability of Bayesian optimisation to tackle high data regimes (typically thousands to millions of observations). Leveraging sparse variational GP models and Thompson sampling strategies, we will demonstrate that Bayesian optimisation can enjoy both strong theoretical guarantees and empirical performance in this context.
