Abstract

Sequential Model-based Bayesian Optimization has been successful-ly applied to several application domains, characterized by complex search spaces, such as Automated Machine Learning and Neural Architecture Search. This paper focuses on optimal control problems, proposing a Sequential Model-based Bayesian Optimization framework to learn optimal control strategies. A quite general formalization of the problem is provided, along with a specific instance related to optimization of pumping operations in an urban Water Distri-bution Network. Relevant results on a real-life Water Distribution Network are reported, comparing different possible choices for the proposed framework.
