Sample-Efficient Pareto Front Modeling for Energy-Aware Reinforcement Learning Using Bayesian Optimization

arXiv:2607.03140v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Industrial automation increasingly demands control strategies that balance operational performance with strict energy efficiency requirements. A common approach to solving this multi-objective problem, particularly within the framework of reinforcement learning (RL), is to formulate a single, scalar reward function that linearly combines the competing objectives. However, the manual weighting of these different objectives is heavily reliant on domain intuition, incredibly time-consuming, prone to human bias, and frequently fails to uncover optima
