Performance evaluation of PAL, Simple BO, Hutter BO, pySMAC, and random searches for the minimization of the intermolecular ABX₃-solvent binding energy (maximizing its strength).⁴⁴ PAL obtains a global optimum binding energy at considerably lower cost than the other methods. A shaded region of ±2 standard errors (SE) is shown for each method
