Title: Transferring Information Across Interventions in Causal Bayesian Optimization

Abstract:
arXiv:2606.01457v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Bayesian optimization is a popular way to optimize expensive systems, where every experiment, simulation, or intervention costs time or money. In its standard form, it treats the variables we control as plain inputs to a black box and cannot tell apart mere correlation from a real cause and effect. Causal Bayesian optimization closes part of this gap by using a known causal graph together with observational data to decide which variables are worth
