For Multi-objective optimization (MOO) in the AxClient
, objectives are specified through the ObjectiveProperties
dataclass. An ObjectiveProperties
requires a boolean minimize
, and also accepts an optional floating point threshold
. If a threshold
is not specified, Ax will infer it through the use of heuristics. If the user knows the region of interest (because they have specs or prior knowledge), then specifying the thresholds is preferable to inferring it. But if the user would need to guess, inferring is preferable.
To learn more about how to choose a threshold, see Set Objective Thresholds to focus candidate generation in a region of interest. See the Service API Tutorial for more infomation on running experiments with the Service API.

In the rest of this tutorial, we will show two algorithms available in Ax for multi-objective optimization and visualize how they compare to eachother and to quasirandom search.
MOO covers the case where we care about multiple
outcomes in our experiment but we do not know before hand a specific weighting of those
objectives (covered by ScalarizedObjective
) or a specific constraint on one objective
(covered by OutcomeConstraint
s) that will produce the best result.
The solution in this case is to find a whole Pareto frontier, a surface in outcome-space containing points that can't be improved on in every outcome. This shows us the tradeoffs between objectives that we can choose to make.
Optimize a list of M objective functions $ \bigl(f^{(1)}( x),..., f^{(M)}( x) \bigr)$ over a bounded search space $\mathcal X \subset \mathbb R^d$.
We assume $f^{(i)}$ are expensive-to-evaluate black-box functions with no known analytical expression, and no observed gradients. For instance, a machine learning model where we're interested in maximizing accuracy and minimizing inference time, with $\mathcal X$ the set of possible configuration spaces
In a multi-objective optimization problem, there typically is no single best solution. Rather, the goal is to identify the set of Pareto optimal solutions such that any improvement in one objective means deteriorating another. Provided with the Pareto set, decision-makers can select an objective trade-off according to their preferences. In the plot below, the red dots are the Pareto optimal solutions (assuming both objectives are to be minimized).
Given a reference point $ r \in \mathbb R^M$, which we represent as a list of M ObjectiveThreshold
s, one for each coordinate, the hypervolume (HV) of a Pareto set $\mathcal P = \{ f(x_i)\}_{i=1}^{|\mathcal P|}$ is the volume of the space dominated (superior in every one of our M objectives) by $\mathcal P$ and bounded from above by a point $ r$. The reference point should be set to be slightly worse (10% is reasonable) than the worst value of each objective that a decision maker would tolerate. In the figure below, the grey area is the hypervolume in this 2-objective problem.
The below plots show three different sets of points generated by the qNEHVI [1] algorithm with different objective thresholds (aka reference points). Note that here we use absolute thresholds, but thresholds can also be relative to a status_quo arm.
The first plot shows the points without the ObjectiveThreshold
s visible (they're set far below the origin of the graph).
The second shows the points generated with (-18, -6) as thresholds. The regions violating the thresholds are greyed out. Only the white region in the upper right exceeds both threshold, points in this region dominate the intersection of these thresholds (this intersection is the reference point). Only points in this region contribute to the hypervolume objective. A few exploration points are not in the valid region, but almost all the rest of the points are.
The third shows points generated with a very strict pair of thresholds, (-18, -2). Only the white region in the upper right exceeds both thresholds. Many points do not lie in the dominating region, but there are still more focused there than in the second examples.
A deeper explanation of our the qNEHVI [1] and qNParEGO [2] algorithms this notebook explores can be found at

To optimize multiple objective we must create a MultiObjective
containing the metrics we'll optimize and MultiObjectiveOptimizationConfig
(which contains ObjectiveThreshold
s) instead of our more typical Objective
and OptimizationConfig
We define NoisyFunctionMetric
s to wrap our synthetic Branin-Currin problem's outputs. Add noise to see how robust our different optimization algorithms are.

To examine optimization process from another perspective, we plot the collected observations under each algorithm where the color corresponds to the BO iteration at which the point was collected. The plot on the right for $q$NEHVI shows that the $q$NEHVI quickly identifies the Pareto frontier and most of its evaluations are very close to the Pareto frontier. $q$NParEGO also identifies has many observations close to the Pareto frontier, but relies on optimizing random scalarizations, which is a less principled way of optimizing the Pareto front compared to $q$NEHVI, which explicitly attempts focuses on improving the Pareto front. Sobol generates random points and has few points close to the Pareto front.

The hypervolume of the space dominated by points that dominate the reference point.
The plot below shows a common metric of multi-objective optimization performance when the true Pareto frontier is known: the log difference between the hypervolume of the true Pareto front and the hypervolume of the approximate Pareto front identified by each algorithm. The log hypervolume difference is plotted at each step of the optimization for each of the algorithms.
The plot show that $q$NEHVI vastly outperforms $q$NParEGO which outperforms the Sobol baseline.
