Interfaces

class smac.facade.hyperband_facade.HyperbandFacade(scenario, target_function, *, model=None, acquisition_function=None, acquisition_maximizer=None, initial_design=None, random_design=None, intensifier=None, multi_objective_algorithm=None, runhistory_encoder=None, config_selector=None, logging_level=None, callbacks=[], overwrite=False)[source]

Bases: RandomFacade

Facade to use model-free Hyperband [LJDR18] for algorithm configuration.

Uses Random Aggressive Online Racing (ROAR) to compare configurations, a random initial design and the Hyperband intensifier.

static get_intensifier(scenario, *, eta=3, n_seeds=1, instance_seed_order='shuffle_once', max_incumbents=10, incumbent_selection='highest_observed_budget')[source]

Returns a Hyperband intensifier instance. Budgets are supported.

Return type:

Hyperband

etaint, defaults to 3

Input that controls the proportion of configurations discarded in each round of Successive Halving.

n_seedsint, defaults to 1

How many seeds to use for each instance.

instance_seed_orderstr, defaults to “shuffle_once”

How to order the instance-seed pairs. Can be set to: * None: No shuffling at all and use the instance-seed order provided by the user. * “shuffle_once”: Shuffle the instance-seed keys once and use the same order across all runs. * “shuffle”: Shuffle the instance-seed keys for each bracket individually.

incumbent_selectionstr, defaults to “any_budget”

How to select the incumbent when using budgets. Can be set to: * “any_budget”: Incumbent is the best on any budget i.e., best performance regardless of budget. * “highest_observed_budget”: Incumbent is the best in the highest budget run so far. * “highest_budget”: Incumbent is selected only based on the highest budget.

max_incumbentsint, defaults to 10

How many incumbents to keep track of in the case of multi-objective.
