ArXi:2605.12079v1 Announce Type: new Human-in-the-loop Bayesian optimization (HITL BO) methods utilize human expertise to improve the sample-efficiency of BO. Most HITL BO methods assume that a domain expert can quantify their knowledge, for instance by pinpointing query locations or specifying their prior beliefs about the location of the maximum as a probability distribution. However, since human expertise is often tacit and cannot be explicitly quantified, we consider a setting where domain knowledge of an expert is elicited via pairwise comparisons of designs.
