About this paper

Sergei V. Kalinin

The framework schedules imaging, spectroscopy, and, in a second campaign, recalibration under an acquisition budget. It uses simulated campaigns built on pre-acquired image–EELS measurements, with separate action costs and objectives for finding strong responses or learning structure–response relationships. For random forest, exploration had lower held-out RMSE (33.96 ± 1.32), while exploitation found higher mean best band area (250.27 ± 2.11); results are simulated, not live microscope control.
