What is ask
ask is:
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.

ASK features multiple active learning algorithms to prioritize the exploration of the interesting parts of the experimental space.
