optuna.samplers.GridSampler

class optuna.samplers.GridSampler(search_space)[源代码]

Sampler using grid search.

With GridSampler, the trials suggest all combinations of parameters in the given search space during the study.

示例

import optuna


def objective(trial):
    x = trial.suggest_float("x", -100, 100)
    y = trial.suggest_int("y", -100, 100)
    return x ** 2 + y ** 2


search_space = {"x": [-50, 0, 50], "y": [-99, 0, 99]}
study = optuna.create_study(sampler=optuna.samplers.GridSampler(search_space))
study.optimize(objective)

备注

GridSampler automatically stops the optimization if all combinations in the passed search_space have already been evaluated, internally invoking the stop() method.

备注

GridSampler does not take care of a parameter’s quantization specified by discrete suggest methods but just samples one of values specified in the search space. E.g., in the following code snippet, either of -0.5 or 0.5 is sampled as x instead of an integer point.

import optuna


def objective(trial):
    # The following suggest method specifies integer points between -5 and 5.
    x = trial.suggest_float("x", -5, 5, step=1)
    return x ** 2


# Non-int points are specified in the grid.
search_space = {"x": [-0.5, 0.5]}
study = optuna.create_study(sampler=optuna.samplers.GridSampler(search_space))
study.optimize(objective, n_trials=2)

备注

A parameter configuration in the grid is not considered finished until its trial is finished. Therefore, during distributed optimization where trials run concurrently, different workers will occasionally suggest the same parameter configuration. The total number of actual trials may therefore exceed the size of the grid.

备注

The grid is randomly shuffled and the order in which parameter configurations are suggested may vary. This is to reduce duplicate suggestions during distributed optimization.

参数

search_space (Mapping[str, Sequence[Union[None, bool, int, float, str]]]) – A dictionary whose key and value are a parameter name and the corresponding candidates of values, respectively.

返回类型

None

Methods

after_trial(study, trial, state, values)

Trial post-processing.

infer_relative_search_space(study, trial)

Infer the search space that will be used by relative sampling in the target trial.

reseed_rng()

Reseed sampler's random number generator.

sample_independent(study, trial, param_name, ...)

Sample a parameter for a given distribution.

sample_relative(study, trial, search_space)

Sample parameters in a given search space.
after_trial(study, trial, state, values)[源代码]

Trial post-processing.

This method is called after the objective function returns and right before the trials is finished and its state is stored.

备注

Added in v2.4.0 as an experimental feature. The interface may change in newer versions without prior notice. See https://github.com/optuna/optuna/releases/tag/v2.4.0.

参数
返回类型

None

infer_relative_search_space(study, trial)[源代码]

Infer the search space that will be used by relative sampling in the target trial.

This method is called right before sample_relative() method, and the search space returned by this method is passed to it. The parameters not contained in the search space will be sampled by using sample_independent() method.

参数
返回

A dictionary containing the parameter names and parameter’s distributions.

返回类型

Dict[str, optuna.distributions.BaseDistribution]

参见

Please refer to intersection_search_space() as an implementation of infer_relative_search_space().

reseed_rng()

Reseed sampler’s random number generator.

This method is called by the Study instance if trials are executed in parallel with the option n_jobs>1. In that case, the sampler instance will be replicated including the state of the random number generator, and they may suggest the same values. To prevent this issue, this method assigns a different seed to each random number generator.

返回类型

None

sample_independent(study, trial, param_name, param_distribution)[源代码]

Sample a parameter for a given distribution.

This method is called only for the parameters not contained in the search space returned by sample_relative() method. This method is suitable for sampling algorithms that do not use relationship between parameters such as random sampling and TPE.

备注

The failed trials are ignored by any build-in samplers when they sample new parameters. Thus, failed trials are regarded as deleted in the samplers’ perspective.

参数

  • study (optuna.study.Study) – Target study object.

  • trial (optuna.trial._frozen.FrozenTrial) – Target trial object. Take a copy before modifying this object.

  • param_name (str) – Name of the sampled parameter.

  • param_distribution (optuna.distributions.BaseDistribution) – Distribution object that specifies a prior and/or scale of the sampling algorithm.

返回

A parameter value.

返回类型

Any

sample_relative(study, trial, search_space)[源代码]

Sample parameters in a given search space.

This method is called once at the beginning of each trial, i.e., right before the evaluation of the objective function. This method is suitable for sampling algorithms that use relationship between parameters such as Gaussian Process and CMA-ES.

备注

The failed trials are ignored by any build-in samplers when they sample new parameters. Thus, failed trials are regarded as deleted in the samplers’ perspective.

参数
返回

A dictionary containing the parameter names and the values.

返回类型

Dict[str, Any]
