Bayesian Optimization: Smarter Testing, Better Results

What is Bayesian Optimization?

Bayesian Optimization (BO) is a powerful mathematical approach for finding the optimal settings or configurations in complex systems where:

• Each test or experiment is costly or time-consuming
• The relationship between inputs and outcomes isn’t clearly understood
• There are multiple variables that need to be tuned simultaneously

Unlike traditional approaches that require exhaustive testing, Bayesian Optimization is intelligent—it learns from each experiment to determine which tests to run next, converging on optimal solutions with remarkably few trials.
