RxnRover/amlro

AMLRO (Active Machine Learning Reaction Optimizer) is an open-source framework designed to accelerate chemical reaction optimization using active learning with classical machine learning regression models. AMLRO integrates space-filling sampling strategies (e.g., Sobol and Latin Hypercube sampling) with iterative model training, prediction, and experiment selection to efficiently navigate complex reaction spaces. The platform supports multiple regression models, flexible multi-objective definitions, and user-defined parameter bounds, enabling data-efficient optimization from small initial datasets. AMLRO is designed for ease of use by experimentalists and can operate as a standalone decision-support tool or be integrated into closed-loop automated experimentation workflows.

RxnRover/CyRxnOpt

CyRxnOpt aims to provide a single software interface to various optimization algorithms, mainly designed for chemical process optimization applications. CyRxnOpt generalizes the optimization process into four high-level “phases”: Installation, Configuration, Training, and Prediction. This allows developers to program to a general interface for each phase of the optimization, simplifying the development of user-friendly tools to lower the barrier of entry into chemical process optimization, especially for automated laboratory workflows which can greatly benefit from access to various optimization techniques. It is also designed so researchers can easily add new or existing algorithms into existing workflows in a user-friendly manner.
