Being so luminous, AGNs can be observed out to great distances, close to the edge of the observable Universe. By inferring black hole physics from AGN light, we can gain insights about the origin and evolution of the Universe, including the nature of dark energy and dark matter.

Bayesian optimization (BO) is a sample-efficient framework for navigating the exploration-exploitation trade-off in the vast design space of biological sequences. PropertyDAG operates on top of the traditional multi-objective BO to confer hierarchy to the objectives.

Traditionally, the external convergence has been estimated by reducing the whole sightline of data to some summary statistics (such as galaxy number counts N) and matching them to a simulation with known convergence. BGNNs can instead take in all available info. No info wasted!

For instance, when designing antibodies, we'd like to maximize the binding affinity to a target antigen only if expression happens in live cell culture -- modeling the experimental dependency in which affinity can only be measured for antibodies that express in viable quantities.

We propose the Bayesian graph neural network (BGNN), a deep set that estimates the posterior on convergence by updating local embeddings (modeling individual galaxies, whose number can vary) and a global embedding (modeling the whole line of sight) in a series of residual blocks.

Second, before samples from the posterior distribution inferred by the surrogate model enter the multi-objective acquisition function (like EHVI), we transform the samples such that they conform to the specified partial ordering of properties.

AGN variability is believed to be stochastic and commonly modeled as a Gaussian process with a predefined kernel. Latent SDEs (Li et al 2020) offer a more flexible model of the stochastic dynamics.

We then combine the convergence constraints on individual sightlines from the BGNN in a hierarchical Bayesian model via importance weighting to obtain constraints on population-level hyperparameters of the test set.

What is convergence? Say we observe a galaxy in the sky. It may appear to us distorted in shape or magnified/de-magnified in brightness due to gravitational lensing by foreground masses, both luminous and dark. Convergence captures the degree of magnification.

Supermassive black holes reside at the centers of most galaxies, feeding on diffuse matter around them. Radiation from matter falling into their gravitational pull makes these galactic centers, or AGNs, some of the most luminous in the Universe.

In all tasks, PropertyDAG-BO identifies significantly more designs that are jointly positive (exceeding a chosen threshold in a given property and all its ancestral properties, like "expressing binders") than does standard BO.

The BGNN extracts more convergence signal compared to matching number counts, particularly in the high- and low-convergence tails of the training set with sparse samples. Note that number counts matching is limited by sample variance.

Why do we care about it? Reconstructing a map of convergence across the sky can inform the relationship between luminous matter (which we see in starlight) and dark matter (which we don't see but convergence captures), known as the galaxy-halo connection.

Bonus: We use raytracing in Lenstronomy to enhance the lensing scales of large-scale simulations. Starting with convergence computed on a coarse ~1' grid, we introduce finer fluctuations on galaxy lensing scales of ~1" to generate our training set.

First, we model each objective as zero-inflated, i.e. as a mixture of zeros and a continuous distribution of non-zero values. The surrogate model consists of a binary classifier and a regressor inferring the zeros and non-zeros, respectively.

If a dark matter halo happens to line up in front of a quasar, we have a *strong* gravitational lens from which we can measure the Hubble constant. The precision of this analysis depends on the total "external" convergence due to objects in the lens environment and line of sight.

On a particularly challenging test set with high convergence relative to the training set, BGNN recovers the population mean precisely and without bias, resulting in a sub-percent contribution to the hypothetical error budget on the Hubble constant.
