Efficiency Improvement of X-Ray Spectroscopy Experiment by Machine Learning

Abstract

We present an adaptive design of experiment (DoE) by machine learning for X-ray spectroscopy to improve its efficiency. One of the machine learning techniques, Gaussian process regression predicts a spectrum from the experimental data and determines the optimal energy points to measure. Adaptive DoE successfully reduces total energy points to measure as compared to an X-ray magnetic circular dichroism spectroscopy experiment by a conventional DoE. This method has potential applicability to various measurements and reduces the time and cost of experiments.
