-basis sets to speedup otherwise standard DFT calculations. The method is similar to semi-empirical models based on minimal basis sets, but offers improved accuracy and quasi-automatic parameterization. However, the method is still in an early stage - so use with caution. For more information see: [[doi>10.3929/ethz-a-010819495]].+basis sets to speedup otherwise standard DFT calculations.

 In order to obtain good results from the learning machinery a small number of so-called [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperparameter | hyperparameters]] have to be carefully tuned for each application. For the current implementation this includes the [[inp>FORCE_EVAL/DFT/LS_SCF/PAO/MACHINE_LEARNING#GP_SCALE| GP_SCALE]] and the descriptor's [[inp>FORCE_EVAL/SUBSYS/KIND/PAO_DESCRIPTOR#BETA | BETA ]] and [[inp>FORCE_EVAL/SUBSYS/KIND/PAO_DESCRIPTOR#SCREENING | SCREENING]]. In order to obtain good results from the learning machinery a small number of so-called [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperparameter | hyperparameters]] have to be carefully tuned for each application.

-For the optimization of the hyper-parameter exists no gradient, hence one has to use a derivative-free method like the one by [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Powell%27s_method| Powell]]. A versatile implementation is e.g. the [[src>cp2k/tools/scriptmini| scriptmini ]] tool. A good optimization criterion is the variance of the energy difference wrt. the primary basis across the training set. Alternatively, atomic forces could be compared. Despite the missing gradients, this optimization is rather quick because it only performs calculations in the small PAO basis set.+For the optimization of the hyper-parameter exists no gradient, hence one has to use a derivative-free method like the one by [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Powell%27s_method| Powell]].
