We optimized the log likelihoods of our models using Bayesian adaptive direct search (BADS; Acerbi and Ma, 2017). BADS alternates between a series of fast, local Bayesian optimization steps and a systematic, slower exploration of a mesh grid. ...
Bayesian Adaptive Direct Search (BADS) BADS is a fast Bayesian optimization algorithm designed to solve difficult optimization problems, in particular related to fitting computational models (e.g., via maximum likelihood estimation).>>> The official repository for BADS has moved to my lab's GitHub...
Objective functionBayesian adaptive direct search algorithmWell production optimization is a complex and time-consuming task in the oilfield development.The combination of reservoir numerical simulator with optimization algorithms is usually used to optimize well production.This method spends most of computing...
One of the most interesting features of Bayesian optimization for direct policy search is that it can leverage priors (e.g., from simulation or from previous tasks) to accelerate learning on a robot. In this paper, we are interested in situations for which several priors exist but we do not...

2.3 Bayesian two-stage adaptive design This section presents a Bayesian two-stage adaptive design, which is described as follows (as Figure 1 shows): Algorithm: Bayesian two-stage adaptive in bioequivalence (BTABE) When the first stage is complete, the first interim analysis is as follows: Step...
[88] proposed and used Python to write AdaBound (a new adaptive optimization algorithm). Julia has also been used to develop various deep learning algorithms. For example, AD allows the exact computation of derivatives given only an implementation of an objective function, and Srajer et al. [...

PyBADS is a Python implementation of the Bayesian Adaptive Direct Search (BADS) algorithm for solving difficult and mildly expensive optimization problems, originally implemented in MATLAB. BADS has been intensively tested for fitting a variety of computational models, and is currently being used in ...
