We apply Bayesian optimization and reinforcement learning to a problem in topology: the question of when a knot bounds a ribbon disk.

One strategy for distinguishing smooth structures on closed $4$-manifolds is to produce a knot $K$ in $S^3$ that is slice in one smooth filling $W$ of $S^3$ but not slice in some homeomorphic smooth filling $W'$.
