Key Points

To develop a prior-informed multi-task collaborative Bayesian optimization framework that enhances evaluation efficiency and reduces computational cost across networked agents.
Integrated expert prior knowledge about optimum locations into a distributed multi-task Bayesian optimization architecture.
Utilized Gaussian process surrogate models with expected improvement (EI) and upper-confidence bound (UCB) acquisition functions over collaborative network mechanisms.
Derived theoretical cumulative regret bounds and conducted comparative benchmark simulations under diverse prior conditions.
Achieved a proven sub-linear cumulative regret bound with high probability under both EI and UCB acquisition functions.
Demonstrated state-of-the-art optimization performance across diverse benchmark tasks, improving evaluation efficiency and delivering consistent gains across all participating network clients.
