  Description     : Adaptive Sampling Kit for big experimental spaces

  Adaptive Sampling Kit (ASK) is a toolkit for sampling big experimental spaces.
  When the space is small, the response can be measured for every point in the
  space. When the space is large, doing an exhaustive measurement is either not 
  possible in terms of execution time or simply not practical. ASK tries to find
  good approximations of the response by sampling only a small fraction of the
  space. ASK features multiple active learning algorithms to prioritize the
  exploration of the interesting parts of the experimental space.
