With the ever-increasing demand for atomistic structures representative of real-life systems as well as the ad-vent of exascale computers, it has now become necessary and possible to use advanced global optimization (GO) techniques to intelligently sample the potential energy surface (PES). Given the previous studies…

The Virtual Epileptic Patient (VEP) refers to a computer-based representation of a patient with epilepsy that combines personalized anatomical data with dynamical models of abnormal brain activities. It is capable of generating spatio-temporal seizure patterns that resemble those recorded with invasive methods such as…

Mechanistic kinetic models of biological pathways are an important tool for understanding biological systems. Constructing kinetic models requires fitting the parameters to experimental data. However, parameter fitting on these models is a non–convex, non–linear optimization problem. Many algorithms have been proposed…

Finding optimal parameters for detailed neuronal models is a ubiquitous challenge in neuroscientific research. Recently, manual model tuning has been replaced by automated parameter search using a variety of different tools and methods. However, using most of these software tools and choosing the most appropriate…

We develop #-HylleraasMD (#-HyMD), a fully end-to-end differentiable molecular dynamics software based on the Hamiltonian hybrid particle-field formalism, and use it to establish a protocol for automated optimization of force field parameters. #-HyMD is templated on the recently established HylleraaasMD software, while…

Ordinary differential equation (ODE) models are widely used to describe biochemical processes, since they effectively represent mass action kinetics. Optimization-based calibration of ODE models on experimental data can be challenging, even for low-dimensional problems. However, reliable model calibration is a…

Durbin’s positional Burrows-Wheeler transform (PBWT) enables algorithms with the optimal time complexity of O(MN) for reporting all vs all haplotype matches in a population panel with M haplotypes and N variant sites. However, even this efficiency may still be too slow when the number of haplotypes reaches millions. To…

What is the minimum number of experiments, or calculations, required to find an optimal solution? Relevant chemical problems range from identifying a compound with target functionality within a given phase space to controlling materials synthesis and device fabrication conditions. A common feature in this application…

Quantum Package is an open-source programming environment for quantum chemistry specially designed for wave function methods. Its main goal is the development of determinant-driven selected configuration interaction (sCI) methods and multi-reference second-order perturbation theory (PT2). The determinant-driven…

The development of automated high-throughput experimental platforms has enabled fast sampling of high-dimensional decision spaces. To reach target properties efficiently, these platforms are increasingly paired with intelligent experimental design. When solving optimization problems, Bayesian-based optimizers are often…

This study presents a novel application of Multi-Objective Bayesian Optimization (MOBO) to enhance the formulation of flame-retardant polypropylene (PP) composites. Our goal was to optimize the chemical composition of intumescent polypropylene (PP) formulations by maximizing the Limiting Oxygen Index (LOI) and…

Experiment planning algorithms are a required component of autonomous platforms for scientific discovery. Selecting a suitable optimization algorithm for a novel application is an important yet difficult choice a researcher has to make based on past empirical performance on similar tasks. To facilitate the evaluation…
