class smac.facade.AbstractFacade(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=None, overwrite=False, dask_client=None)[source]

Bases: object

Facade is an abstraction on top of the SMBO backend to organize the components of a Bayesian Optimization loop in a configurable and separable manner to suit the various needs of different (hyperparameter) optimization pipelines.

With the exception to scenario and target_function, which are expected of the user, the parameters model, acquisition_function, acquisition_maximizer, initial_design, random_design, intensifier, multi_objective_algorithm, runhistory_encoder can either be explicitly specified in the subclasses’ get_* methods (defining a specific BO pipeline) or be instantiated by the user to overwrite a pipeline components explicitly.

Parameters:
  • scenario (Scenario) – The scenario object, holding all environmental information.

  • target_function (Callable | str | AbstractRunner) – This function is called internally to judge a trial’s performance. If a string is passed, it is assumed to be a script. In this case, TargetFunctionScriptRunner is used to run the script.

  • model (AbstractModel | None, defaults to None) – The surrogate model.

  • acquisition_function (AbstractAcquisitionFunction | None, defaults to None) – The acquisition function.

  • acquisition_maximizer (AbstractAcquisitionMaximizer | None, defaults to None) – The acquisition maximizer, deciding which configuration is most promising based on the surrogate model and acquisition function.

  • initial_design (InitialDesign | None, defaults to None) – The sampled configurations from the initial design are evaluated before the Bayesian optimization loop starts.

  • random_design (RandomDesign | None, defaults to None) – The random design is used in the acquisition maximizer, deciding whether the next configuration should be drawn from the acquisition function or randomly.

  • intensifier (AbstractIntensifier | None, defaults to None) – The intensifier decides which trial (combination of configuration, seed, budget and instance) should be run next.

  • multi_objective_algorithm (AbstractMultiObjectiveAlgorithm | None, defaults to None) – In case of multiple objectives, the objectives need to be interpreted so that an optimization is possible. The multi-objective algorithm takes care of that.

  • runhistory_encoder (RunHistoryEncoder | None, defaults to None) – Based on the runhistory, the surrogate model is trained. However, the data first needs to be encoded, which is done by the runhistory encoder. For example, inactive hyperparameters need to be encoded or cost values can be log transformed.

  • logging_level (int | Path | Literal[False] | None) – The level of logging (the lowest level 0 indicates the debug level). If a path is passed, a yaml file is expected with the logging configuration. If nothing is passed, the default logging.yml from SMAC is used. If False is passed, SMAC will not do any customization of the logging setup and the responsibility is left to the user.

  • callbacks (list[Callback], defaults to []) – Callbacks, which are incorporated into the optimization loop.

  • overwrite (bool, defaults to False) – When True, overwrites the run results if a previous run is found that is consistent in the meta data with the current setup. When False and a previous run is found that is consistent in the meta data, the run is continued. When False and a previous run is found that is not consistent in the meta data, the the user is asked for the exact behaviour (overwrite completely or rename old run first).

  • dask_client (Client | None, defaults to None) – User-created dask client, which can be used to start a dask cluster and then attach SMAC to it. This will not be closed automatically and will have to be closed manually if provided explicitly. If none is provided (default), a local one will be created for you and closed upon completion.

property intensifier: AbstractIntensifier

optimize(*, data_to_scatter=None)[source]

Optimizes the configuration of the algorithm.

Parameters:

data_to_scatter (dict[str, Any] | None) – We first note that this argument is valid only dask_runner! When a user scatters data from their local process to the distributed network, this data is distributed in a round-robin fashion grouping by number of cores. Roughly speaking, we can keep this data in memory and then we do not have to (de-)serialize the data every time we would like to execute a target function with a big dataset. For example, when your target function has a big dataset shared across all the target function, this argument is very useful.

Bases: AbstractFacade

Facade to use Random Online Aggressive Racing (ROAR).

Aggressive Racing: When we have a new configuration θ, we want to compare it to the current best configuration, the incumbent θ*. ROAR uses the ‘racing’ approach, where we run few times for unpromising θ and many times for promising configurations. Once we are confident enough that θ is better than θ*, we update the incumbent θ* ⟵ θ. Aggressive means rejecting low-performing configurations very early, often after a single run. This together is called aggressive racing.

ROAR Loop: The main ROAR loop looks as follows:

  1. Select a configuration θ uniformly at random.

  2. Compare θ to incumbent θ* online (one θ at a time):

  • Reject/accept θ with aggressive racing
