ArXi:2604.22967v1 Announce Type: cross Trust Region Bayesian Optimization (TuRBO) is an effective strategy for alleviating the curse of dimensionality in high-dimensional black-box optimization. However, inappropriate lengthscale design can cause the local Gaussian process (GP) model within the trust region to degenerate, leading to suboptimal performance in high dimensions. In this work, we show that TuRBO's local GP may remain either excessively complex or overly simple as the dimension $D$ and trust region side length $L$ vary.
