About this paper

Muyao Zhong, Peng Yang

The method prepares a memory of feasible simulator settings and response statistics, then selects and optionally adjusts a candidate for each new target without another simulator call. In 75 financial windows, queries took 0.0562 ms, while a 10-minute GP-BO search had slightly lower mean error. On 64 traffic targets, local correction and tandem inverse errors were statistically indistinguishable; the inverse queried faster but required more preparation.
