# Max-value Entropy Search
This is the MATLAB code repository associated with the paper [_Max-value Entropy Search for Efficient Bayesian Optimization_](https://arxiv.org/abs/1703.01968). We propose a new Bayesian optimization technique called **Max-value Entropy Search**, which maximizes the multual information between the selected future observations and the max-value of the function. Please refer to the paper if you need more details on the algorithm.

We developed our code building upon some basic Gaussian process functionals from predictive entropy search (Hernandez-Lobato et al., 2014), which was developed upon GPstuff (Vanhatalo et al., 2013).

If you have any question, please create an issue [here](https://github.com/zi-w/Max-value-Entropy-Search/issues/new) and remind me via email wangzi@google.com if no reply in a week.

## System Requirement
We tested our code with MATLAB R2015b on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS (64-bit). Our code should work out of box without installing additional packages. However, please make sure you installed the GNU Scientific Library ([GSL](http://www.gnu.org/software/gsl/)). On Ubuntu, you can install GSL by

```
sudo apt-get install libgsl0-dev
```

In MATLAB command line, you can mex the c files, for example, by

```
mex chol2invchol.c -lgsl -lblas
```

To run Box2D related code in test-functions/robot-pushing/, please install [Pybox2d](https://github.com/pybox2d/pybox2d).

## Example
example.m is a simple example using Bayesian optimization to maximize a black-box function. Please see the comments in the code for more details about the usage.

gpopt.m is the function for Bayesian optimization with Gaussian processes.

add_gpopt.m is the function for Bayesian optimization with additive Gaussian processes, and is more suitable for high dimensional problems.

## Method Options
In addition to the proposed Max-value Entropy Search method, we also provide several other popular Bayesian optimization methods for the convenience of other researchers. The following is a full list of Bayesian optimization methods that are implemented in this repository.

1. Max-value Entropy Search with Gumbel sampling (MES-G) by Wang & Jegelka, 2017;
2. Max-value Entropy Search with random features (MES-R) by Wang & Jegelka, 2017;
3. Optimization as estimation (EST) by Wang et al., 2016. 
4. Gaussian process upper confidence bound (GP-UCB) by Auer, 2002; Srinivas et al., 2010;
5. Probability of improvement (PI) by Kushner, 1964;
6. Expected improvement (EI) by Mockus, 1974

In the paper, we also used the open sourced code from [entropy search](http://www.probabilistic-optimization.org/Global.html) (Hennig & Schuler, 2012) and [predictive entropy search](https://bitbucket.org/jmh233/codepesnips2014) (Hernández-Lobato et al., 2014) to compare with our method.

For high dimensional Bayesian optimization with additive Gausian processes, we implemented

1. Add-MES-G by Wang & Jegelka, 2017;
2. Add-MES-R by Wang & Jegelka, 2017;
3. Add-EST by Wang & Jegelka, 2017;
4. Add-GP-UCB by Kandasamy et al., 2015.

Our strategy for learning the Gaussian process additive structure is based on Wang et al., 2017.
## Example functionals for optimization
In test_functions/, we provide some functionals one can use to test Bayesian optimization algorithms.

1. Approximated functions sampled from Gaussian processes: sample_GPprior.m, sample_addGP.m.
2. Optimization test functions: egg.m, michNf.m, shekelMf.m.
3. Tuning hyper-parameters for neural networks: nnet_boston.m, nnet_cancer.m.
4. Active learning for robot pushing: robot_pushing_3.m, robot_pushing_4.m, two_robot_pushing.m.
5. Tuning the walking speed of a planar bipedal robot: walker_speed.m (Westervelt el al., 2007).
