At its F8 developer conference, Facebook today launched Ax and BoTorch, two new open-source AI tools. BoTorch, which, as the name implies, is based on PyTorch, is a library for Bayesian optimization.

The key idea behind the probabilistic framework to machine learning is that learning can be thought of as inferring plausible models to explain observed data. A machine can use such models to make ...

Bayesian optimization (BO) can help determine the optimal deposition conditions for high-performance passivation films in solar cells. However, simple implementations tend to suggest excessively thick ...
