RxnRover/CyRxnOpt

Abstract

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.
