Acquisition Function Wrapping Multiple Acquisition Functions

Wrapping multiple AcqFunctions resulting in a multi-objective acquisition function composed of the individual ones. Note that the optimization direction of each wrapped acquisition function is corrected for maximization.

For each acquisition function, the same Surrogate must be used. If acquisition functions passed during construction already have been initialized with a surrogate, it is checked whether the surrogate is the same for all acquisition functions. If acquisition functions have not been initialized with a surrogate, the surrogate passed during construction or lazy initialization will be used for all acquisition functions.

For optimization, AcqOptimizer can be used as for any other AcqFunction, however, the bbotk::Optimizer wrapped within the AcqOptimizer must support multi-objective optimization as indicated via the multi-crit property.

Dictionary

This AcqFunction can be instantiated via the dictionary mlr_acqfunctions or with the associated sugar function acqf():

mlr_acqfunctions$get("multi")
acqf("multi")
