The paper introduces novel nonmyopic acquisition strategies for unconstrained global optimization, specifically designed for inverse distance weighting (IDW) and radial basis functions (RBF) based methods. These strategies, which optimize a sequence of query points over a horizon, enable lookahead acquisition by predicting the evolution of the surrogate model. The proposed approach extends nonmyopic acquisition principles from Bayesian optimization to deterministic frameworks, demonstrating improved performance on synthetic and hyperparameter tuning benchmark problems.

The paper is about finding the best solution for a difficult problem without knowing how good each potential solution is. It’s like trying to find the highest mountain by only seeing a small piece of the landscape at a time. The researchers are trying to make this process better by looking ahead and planning what to do next, instead of just focusing on the immediate best option. They’re testing new ways of doing this that work well with different types of problems.
