Gauche - A Library for Gaussian Processes in Chemistry

We introduce GAUCHE, a library for GAUssian processes in CHEmistry. Gaussian processes have long been a cornerstone of probabilistic machine learning, affording particular advantages for uncertainty quantification and Bayesian optimisation. Extending …

Dynamic Power Management in Large Manycore Systems - A Learning-to-Search Framework

The complexity of manycore System-on-chips (SoCs) is growing faster than our ability to manage them to reduce the overall energy consumption. Further, as SoC design moves toward three-dimensional (3D) architectures, the core's power density increases …

Bayesian Optimization over Permutation Spaces

Optimizing expensive to evaluate black-box functions over an input space consisting of all permutations of d objects is an important problem with many real-world applications. For example, placement of functional blocks in hardware design to optimize …

Combining Latent Space and Structured Kernels for Bayesian Optimization over Combinatorial Spaces

We consider the problem of optimizing combinatorial spaces (e.g., sequences, trees, and graphs) using expensive black-box function evaluations. For example, optimizing molecules for drug design using physical lab experiments. Bayesian optimization …

Bayesian Optimization over Hybrid Spaces

We consider the problem of optimizing hybrid structures (mixture of discrete and continuous input variables) via expensive black-box function evaluations. This problem arises in many real-world applications. For example, in materials design …

High-Throughput Training of Deep CNNs on ReRAM-based Heterogeneous Architectures via Optimized Normalization Layers

Resistive random-access memory (ReRAM)-based architectures can be used to accelerate Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) training. However, existing architectures either do not support normalization at all or they support only a limited version of it. …

Learning Pareto-Frontier Resource Management Policies for Heterogeneous SoCs - An Information-Theoretic Approach

Mobile system-on-chips (SoCs) are growing in their complexity and heterogeneity (e.g., Arm Big-Little architecture) to meet the needs of emerging applications, including games and artificial intelligence. This makes it very challenging to optimally …

Mercer Features for Efficient Combinatorial Bayesian Optimization

Bayesian optimization (BO) is an efficient framework for solving black-box optimization problems with expensive function evaluations. This paper addresses the BO problem setting for combinatorial spaces (e.g., sequences and graphs) that occurs …

Optimizing Discrete Spaces via Expensive Evaluations: A Learning to Search Framework

We consider the problem of optimizing expensive black-box functions over discrete spaces (e.g., sets, sequences, graphs). The key challenge is to select a sequence of combinatorial structures to evaluate, in order to identify high-performing …

Uncertainty-Aware Search Framework for Multi-Objective Bayesian Optimization

We consider the problem of multi-objective (MO) blackbox optimization using expensive function evaluations, where the goal is to approximate the true Pareto set of solutions while minimizing the number of function evaluations. For example, in …
