Abstract

Manual optimization of experimental parameters can quickly become too complex and time-consuming if more than a few correlated parameters need to be adjusted. We discuss automating this process using Bayesian optimization. This machine learning-based method is particularly suitable because it can handle noisy measurements, performs a global search and requires relatively few experimental runs. We discuss the efficient, scalable implementation of Bayesian optimization, present practical applications for tuning experimental parameters, and compare it with other local and global heuristic methods to show its application range.
