Bayesian optimization with Gaussian-process-based active machine learning for improvement of geometric accuracy in projection multi-photon 3D printing by Jason E. Johnson, Ishat Raihan Jamil, Liang Pan, Guang Lin, Xianfan Xu

“…In each case, the active learning framework improves the geometric accuracy, with drastic reductions of the errors to within the measurement accuracy in just four iterations of the Bayesian optimization using only a few hundred of total training data. The case studies indicate that the active learning framework developed in this work can be broadly applied to other additive manufacturing processes to increase accuracy with significantly reduced experimental data collection effort for optimization.…”
