ID : Optimizer from Wyoming.
Things I did
1. Surrogate Modification: checking different surrogates, modifying GP kernels, initial design.
2. Sampling Strategy analysis: to check effect on performance of the optimizer.
3. Analyzing Acquisition Functions: tried to balance the exploration-exploitation trade-off. LCB showed better performance than PI, EI.
