{PF} $^2$ ES: A New Acquisition Function for Parallel Feasible Pareto Frontier Entropy Search

Installation

❗❗❗Caution: You are away from the main branch of Trieste, this branch contains certain other dependencies

install from sources, run

$ pip install -e.

in the repository root (tested with Python version 3.7.11).

Tutorial/Demonstration Notebook

There is a tutorial notebook multi_objective_entropy_search_via_PF2ES.py at (\docs\notebooks) demonstrating how to make use of the acquisition function for different multi-objective optimization tasks.

In order to run the notebook, install the following dependency:

$ pip install -r notebooks/requirements.txt

Then, run the notebooks with

$ jupyter-notebook notebooks
