BOBA: Dynamic Bayesian Optimization through Bayesian Active Inference

arXiv · AI, language, vision and robotics · article · Sep 22, 2026 · UTC

Dynamic black-box optimization presents significant challenges for Bayesian Optimization (BO), as the objective function evolves over time, causing optimal locations to shift continuously. Existing dynamic BO (DBO) methods using standard acquisition functions such as Upper Confidence Bound (UCB) fail to explicitly account for temporal variations, leading to suboptimal sample allocation and poor tracking of moving optima. Here, we propose BOBA (Bayesian Optimization through Bayesian Active Inference), a novel acquisition function inspired by free energy principles from active inference that exp
