Karlson Pfannschmidt, (Kiudee) a German computer scientist specialized in machine learning, affiliated with the Paderborn University. He designed and published tools for local and distributed tuning of chess engines using state-of-the-art Bayesian optimization. His Bayesian implementation of a sequential model-based optimization, dubbed Bayes-skopt was successfully applied to tune meta parameters of Leela Chess Zero and its derivations.
