Emulation of physical processes with Emukit
arXiv:2110.13293
Abstract
Decision making in uncertain scenarios is an ubiquitous challenge in real world systems. Tools to deal with this challenge include simulations to gather information and statistical emulation to quantify uncertainty. The machine learning community has developed a number of methods to facilitate decision making, but so far they are scattered in multiple different toolkits, and generally rely on a fixed backend. In this paper, we present Emukit, a highly adaptable Python toolkit for enriching decision making under uncertainty. Emukit allows users to: (i) use state of the art methods including Bayesian optimization, multi-fidelity emulation, experimental design, Bayesian quadrature and sensitivity analysis; (ii) easily prototype new decision making methods for new problems. Emukit is agnostic to the underlying modeling framework and enables users to use their own custom models. We show how Emukit can be used on three exemplary case studies.
