Making complex Bayesian Optimization simple with Honegumi

Welcome back to our Materials Informatics series! In today's tutorial, we dive deep into Honegumi—a revolutionary software package designed to simplify Bayesian optimization, particularly for complex materials science challenges. Honegumi is Japanese for "skeletal framework" and it was named that by its creator, Sterling Baird, who sought to create a easy-to-use codeing scaffold for people interested in doing complex Bayesian Optimization using Meta's Ax package.

In this video, you will learn:

The complexities of Bayesian optimization in materials science.
How Honegumi provides an easy-to-use code template for different optimization scenarios.
The role of large language models in streamlining the optimization process.
We'll explore real-world examples, like optimizing 3D printing parameters, and demonstrate how Honegumi can be leveraged to overcome common challenges in the field. Whether you're a seasoned coder or new to Bayesian optimization, this tutorial will help you grasp the fundamentals and apply them to your own projects.
