Inducing Permutation Invariant Priors in Bayesian Optimization for Carbon Capture and Storage Applications

arXiv:2605.02409v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Bayesian Optimization is an iterative method, tailored to optimizing expensive black box objective functions. Surrogate models like Gaussian Processes, which are the gold standard in Bayesian Optimization, can be inefficient for inputs with permutation symmetries, as the most common kernels employed are better suited for vector inputs rather than unordered sets of items. Motivated by this issue, we turn to permutation invariant Bayesian Optimization for well placement in Carbon Capture and Storage projects. The high fidelity black box simulat
