optuna.trial.Trial

class optuna.trial.Trial(study, trial_id)[源代码]

A trial is a process of evaluating an objective function.

This object is passed to an objective function and provides interfaces to get parameter suggestion, manage the trial’s state, and set/get user-defined attributes of the trial.

Note that the direct use of this constructor is not recommended. This object is seamlessly instantiated and passed to the objective function behind the optuna.study.Study.optimize() method; hence library users do not care about instantiation of this object.

参数

study (optuna.study.Study) – A Study object.
trial_id (int) – A trial ID that is automatically generated.

返回类型

None

property datetime_start: Optional[datetime.datetime]

Return start datetime.

返回: Datetime where the Trial started.

property distributions: Dict[str, optuna.distributions.BaseDistribution]

Return distributions of parameters to be optimized.

返回: A dictionary containing all distributions.

property number: int

Return trial’s number which is consecutive and unique in a study.

返回: A trial number.

report(value, step)[源代码]

Report an objective function value for a given step.

The reported values are used by the pruners to determine whether this trial should be pruned.

参见

Please refer to BasePruner.

备注

The reported value is converted to float type by applying float() function internally. Thus, it accepts all float-like types (e.g., numpy.float32). If the conversion fails, a TypeError is raised.

示例

Report intermediate scores of SGDClassifier training.

import numpy as np
from sklearn.datasets import load_iris
from sklearn.linear_model import SGDClassifier
from sklearn.model_selection import train_test_split

import optuna

X, y = load_iris(return_X_y=True)
X_train, X_valid, y_train, y_valid = train_test_split(X, y)


def objective(trial):
    clf = SGDClassifier(random_state=0)
    for step in range(100):
        clf.partial_fit(X_train, y_train, np.unique(y))
        intermediate_value = clf.score(X_valid, y_valid)
        trial.report(intermediate_value, step=step)
        if trial.should_prune():
            raise optuna.TrialPruned()

    return clf.score(X_valid, y_valid)

study.optimize(objective, n_trials=3)

参数

value (float) – A value returned from the objective function.
step (int) – Step of the trial (e.g., Epoch of neural network training). Note that pruners assume that step starts at zero. For example, MedianPruner simply checks if step is less than n_warmup_steps as the warmup mechanism.

引发

NotImplementedError – If trial is being used for multi-objective optimization.

返回类型

None

set_system_attr(key, value)[源代码]

Set system attributes to the trial.

Note that Optuna internally uses this method to save system messages such as failure reason of trials. Please use set_user_attr() to set users’ attributes.

value (Any) – A value of the attribute. The value should be JSON serializable.

返回类型

should_prune()[源代码]

Suggest whether the trial should be pruned or not.

The suggestion is made by a pruning algorithm associated with the trial and is based on previously reported values. The algorithm can be specified when constructing a Study.

备注

If no values have been reported, the algorithm cannot make meaningful suggestions. Similarly, if this method is called multiple times with the exact same set of reported values, the suggestions will be the same.

参见

Please refer to the example code in optuna.trial.Trial.report().

返回: A boolean value. If True, the trial should be pruned according to the configured pruning algorithm. Otherwise, the trial should continue.

    return clf.score(X_valid, y_valid)


study = optuna.create_study(direction="maximize")
study.optimize(objective, n_trials=3)

参数

name (str) – A parameter name.
low (float) – Lower endpoint of the range of suggested values. low is included in the range.
high (float) –
Upper endpoint of the range of suggested values. high is excluded from the range.

备注

If step is specified, high is included as well as low because this method falls back to suggest_discrete_uniform().

A step of discretization.

备注

The step and log arguments cannot be used at the same time. To set the step argument to a float number, set the log argument to False.
log (bool) –
A flag to sample the value from the log domain or not. If log is true, the value is sampled from the range in the log domain. Otherwise, the value is sampled from the range in the linear domain. See also suggest_uniform() and suggest_loguniform().

备注

The step and log arguments cannot be used at the same time. To set the log argument to True, set the step argument to None.

引发

ValueError – If step is not None and log = True are specified.

返回

A suggested float value.

返回类型

float

suggest_int(name, low, high, step=1, log=False)[源代码]

Suggest a value for the integer parameter.

def objective(trial):
    n_estimators = trial.suggest_int("n_estimators", 50, 400)
    clf = RandomForestClassifier(n_estimators=n_estimators, random_state=0)
    clf.fit(X_train, y_train)
    return clf.score(X_valid, y_valid)


study = optuna.create_study(direction="maximize")
study.optimize(objective, n_trials=3)

参数

name (str) – A parameter name.
low (int) – Lower endpoint of the range of suggested values. low is included in the range.
high (int) – Upper endpoint of the range of suggested values. high is included in the range.
step (int) –
A step of discretization.

备注

Note that \(\mathsf{high}\) is modified if the range is not divisible by \(\mathsf{step}\). Please check the warning messages to find the changed values.

备注

The method returns one of the values in the sequence \(\mathsf{low}, \mathsf{low} + \mathsf{step}, \mathsf{low} + 2 * \mathsf{step}, \dots, \mathsf{low} + k * \mathsf{step} \le \mathsf{high}\), where \(k\) denotes an integer.

备注

The step != 1 and log arguments cannot be used at the same time. To set the step argument \(\mathsf{step} \ge 2\), set the log argument to False.
log (bool) –
A flag to sample the value from the log domain or not.

备注

If log is true, at first, the range of suggested values is divided into grid points of width 1. The range of suggested values is then converted to a log domain, from which a value is sampled. The uniformly sampled value is re-converted to the original domain and rounded to the nearest grid point that we just split, and the suggested value is determined. For example, if low = 2 and high = 8, then the range of suggested values is [2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8] and lower values tend to be more sampled than higher values.

备注

The step != 1 and log arguments cannot be used at the same time. To set the log argument to True, set the step argument to 1.

引发

ValueError – If step != 1 and log = True are specified.
