Decision-Focused Active Learning for Scale-Aware Critical-Materials Recovery

arXiv cs.AISeptember 10, 2026en

arXiv:2609.09413v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Choosing a recovery process for scale-up requires connecting laboratory results with product requirements, process costs, and scale effects. We analyze records from Pacific Northwest National Laboratory's Computer Intelligence for Critical Element Recovery and Optimization (CICERO) workflow for autonomous selective precipitation. Active learning uses prior results to choose experiments. In a conditional retrospective benchmark with fitted models and recycled neodymium-iron-boron (NdFeB) magnet records, active learning finds the best recorded result with fewer experiments than nonadaptive space filling. Enrichment is the selected rare-earth-to-i
