Abstract
This paper proposes a machine learning approach using Bayesian optimization (BO) to determine optimal Hubbard *U* parameters in DFT+*U* calculations. The method aims to reproduce band structures obtained from more accurate hybrid functionals, demonstrated for transition metal oxides, europium chalcogenides, and narrow-gap semiconductors. The results show that the BO method produces band structures comparable to or better than those obtained using the linear response (LR) method, with improved computational efficiency.
