Decision brief

A specialized package for performing Bayesian optimization, Spearmint automates experiment running and parameter tuning to minimize objectives efficiently.

Good fit when

- When you require automated experimentation with parameters that can be iteratively adjusted
- In research settings where an Academic and Non-Commercial Research Use License is feasible

Avoid when

- If your project requires a permissive license as Spearmint operates under an Academic and Non-Commercial Research Use License
- If you need real-time or continuous parameter tuning outside of batch experimentation contexts as Spearmint is suited for controlled experiment setups
