Models play an essential role in Bayesian Optimization (BO). A model is used as a surrogate function for the actual underlying black box function to be optimized. In BoTorch, a Model maps a set of ...

"In this tutorial, we illustrate how to use a custom BoTorch model within Ax's `botorch_modular` API. This allows us to harness the convenience of Ax for running Bayesian Optimization loops while ...

At its F8 developer conference, Facebook today launched Ax and BoTorch, two new open-source AI tools. BoTorch, which, as the name implies, is based on PyTorch, is a library for Bayesian optimization.
