Facts from ALEF's own pages

Availability

The repository page lists no releases or packages. · github.com, 14 Nov 2026

Bayesian optimization

The Bayesian optimization module implements query-based optimization with acquisition functions such as GP-UCB and EI. · github.com, 14 Nov 2026

Design methods

Its experimental-design methods include pool-based, oracle-based, and safe active learning, as well as Bayesian optimization. · github.com, 14 Nov 2026

Examples

The main usage of the repository's building blocks is illustrated in Jupyter notebooks. · github.com, 14 Nov 2026

License

The software is open-sourced under the AGPL-3.0 license. · github.com, 14 Nov 2026

Models and kernels

Implemented models include standard and marginalized-hyperparameter GPs and Deep GPs; kernels include Deep Kernels and Neural Kernel Network. · github.com, 14 Nov 2026

Pool-based learning

The pool-based learner can use acquisition functions including Entropy and Variance and validation metrics including RMSE and NLL. · github.com, 14 Nov 2026

Purpose

ALEF provides classes and scripts for active learning of stochastic models such as Gaussian Processes. · github.com, 14 Nov 2026

Safe learning

Safe active learning uses a safety model, a data pool with safety labels, and a safety threshold. · github.com, 14 Nov 2026

Security

The opened repository page does not provide a product security or compliance statement. · github.com, 14 Nov 2026

Setup

The repository instructs users to create its Conda environment and install the package in editable mode with pip. · github.com, 14 Nov 2026

Support

For code questions, the README names Matthias Bitzer and Cen-You Li as contacts. · github.com, 14 Nov 2026
