optuna.samplers.TPESampler
- class optuna.samplers.TPESampler(consider_prior=True, prior_weight=1.0, consider_magic_clip=True, consider_endpoints=False, n_startup_trials=10, n_ei_candidates=24, gamma=<function default_gamma>, weights=<function default_weights>, seed=None, *, multivariate=False, warn_independent_sampling=True)[源代码]
Sampler using TPE (Tree-structured Parzen Estimator) algorithm.
This sampler is based on independent sampling. See also
BaseSampler
for more details of ‘independent sampling’.On each trial, for each parameter, TPE fits one Gaussian Mixture Model (GMM)
l(x)
to the set of parameter values associated with the best objective values, and another GMMg(x)
to the remaining parameter values. It chooses the parameter valuex
that maximizes the ratiol(x)/g(x)
.For further information about TPE algorithm, please refer to the following papers:
示例
import optuna from optuna.samplers import TPESampler def objective(trial): x = trial.suggest_float("x", -10, 10) return x ** 2 study = optuna.create_study(sampler=TPESampler()) study.optimize(objective, n_trials=10)
- 参数
consider_prior (bool) – Enhance the stability of Parzen estimator by imposing a Gaussian prior when
True
. The prior is only effective if the sampling distribution is eitherUniformDistribution
,DiscreteUniformDistribution
,LogUniformDistribution
,IntUniformDistribution
, orIntLogUniformDistribution
.prior_weight (float) – The weight of the prior. This argument is used in
UniformDistribution
,DiscreteUniformDistribution
,LogUniformDistribution
,IntUniformDistribution
,IntLogUniformDistribution
, andCategoricalDistribution
.consider_magic_clip (bool) – Enable a heuristic to limit the smallest variances of Gaussians used in the Parzen estimator.
consider_endpoints (bool) – Take endpoints of domains into account when calculating variances of Gaussians in Parzen estimator. See the original paper for details on the heuristics to calculate the variances.
n_startup_trials (int) – The random sampling is used instead of the TPE algorithm until the given number of trials finish in the same study.
n_ei_candidates (int) – Number of candidate samples used to calculate the expected improvement.
gamma (Callable[[int], int]) – A function that takes the number of finished trials and returns the number of trials to form a density function for samples with low grains. See the original paper for more details.
weights (Callable[[int], numpy.ndarray]) –
A function that takes the number of finished trials and returns a weight for them. See Making a Science of Model Search: Hyperparameter Optimization in Hundreds of Dimensions for Vision Architectures for more details.
multivariate (bool) –
If this is
True
, the multivariate TPE is used when suggesting parameters. The multivariate TPE is reported to outperform the independent TPE. See BOHB: Robust and Efficient Hyperparameter Optimization at Scale for more details.备注
Added in v2.2.0 as an experimental feature. The interface may change in newer versions without prior notice. See https://github.com/optuna/optuna/releases/tag/v2.2.0.
warn_independent_sampling (bool) – If this is
True
andmultivariate=True
, a warning message is emitted when the value of a parameter is sampled by using an independent sampler. Ifmultivariate=False
, this flag has no effect.

- 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.

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
study (optuna.study.Study) – Target study object.
trial (optuna.trial._frozen.FrozenTrial) – Target trial object. Take a copy before modifying this object.
state (optuna.trial._state.TrialState) – Resulting trial state.
values (Optional[Sequence[float]]) – Resulting trial values. Guaranteed to not be
None
if trial succeeded.

None
- static hyperopt_parameters()[源代码]
Return the the default parameters of hyperopt (v0.1.2).
TPESampler
can be instantiated with the parameters returned by this method.示例
Create a
TPESampler
instance with the default parameters of hyperopt.import optuna from optuna.samplers import TPESampler def objective(trial): x = trial.suggest_float("x", -10, 10) return x ** 2 sampler = TPESampler(**TPESampler.hyperopt_parameters()) study = optuna.create_study(sampler=sampler) study.optimize(objective, n_trials=10)
- 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 usingsample_independent()
method.- 参数
study (optuna.study.Study) – Target study object.
trial (optuna.trial._frozen.FrozenTrial) – Target trial object. Take a copy before modifying this object.
- 返回
A dictionary containing the parameter names and parameter’s distributions.

- reseed_rng()[源代码]
Reseed sampler’s random number generator.
This method is called by the
Study
instance if trials are executed in parallel with the optionn_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.

- 返回
A parameter value.
- 返回类型
- 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.
