Pandas DataFrameΒΆ

To enable loading files created with additional tools not supported by DeepCAVE, we provide a converter that can load runs from Pandas DataFrames. To use this converter, you need to save both the history of trials and the hyperparameter search space as CSV files and put them in a folder. Then, you can select that folder as your run in DeepCAVE

We expect the hyperparameter search space to be saved as configspace.csv in the following format:

name

log

item_0

item_1

distribution_mu

distribution_sigma

For some more examples, please have a look at the example runs in logs/DataFrame.

Note that the objectives need to be named metric:<name> [<lower>; <upper>] (<maximize or minimize>), where <name> is the name of the objective, <lower>, <upper> are the objective bounds and <maximize or minimize> is the optimization direction.

The status column should contain the status of the trial. The following status codes are supported (both upper or lower case): SUCCESS, TIMEOUT, MEMORYOUT, CRASHED, ABORTED, NOT_EVALUATED, FAILED, PRUNED, UNKNOWN

The budget column should contain the multi-fidelity budget and can be omitted if not used. The same holds for the seed column, containing the trial seed.

Warning

Conditions and forbiddens are not supported in the current version of the Pandas DataFrame converter.
