Abstract:Basin is a numerical optimization library for the Rust programming language. Numerical optimization is the task of finding the inputs that minimize a function, and it is a fundamental element across the sciences: fitting a model to data, calibrating a simulation, training a machine learning model, or choosing engineering parameters that minimize cost. Basin gives users a single, consistent way to both state and solve such problems, with a broad catalog of solvers and first-class support for constraints.
