Abstract

Machine learning algorithms are highly dependent on the quality of the training data. Problems with the data, like accuracy and expenses in gathering it project directly to the cost and performance of the algorithm. Multi-task learning methods try to overcome this problem by combining information from multiple sources of data. In this study I focused on two existing methods for multi-output Gaussian processes, linear model of coregionalisation and intrinsic coregionalisation model. My aim in this study was to implement these algorithms to Bayesian Optimization Structure Search (BOSS) tool and test their potential for accelerating atomistic structure search space navigation with a simulation study. I found potential for reducing computational cost of optimization of expensive structure searches with multi-task learning.
