I have implemented COMO-CatCMA with Margin (COMO-CatCMAwM), a multi-objective extension of CatCMA with Margin built on the Sofomore framework [1]. This implementation enables multi-objective optimization over mixed search spaces with any combination of continuous, integer, and categorical variables. The current implementation supports bi-objective optimization; support for three or more objectives will be added in future work.
At this stage, the related references and a full README section are still being prepared, so the detailed README update will be provided in a follow-up.
This PR also adds a small UHVI (uncrowded hypervolume improvement) evaluation utility in _uhvi_archiving.py. The implementation is intentionally minimal and is partially adapted from moarchiving for the 2D case; please refer to the code comments for attribution and implementation details.
