IFE-Surrogate 0.2.6

A machine learning library intended for surrogate modeling tasks.

IFE Surrogate GP

A flexible and extensible library for Gaussian Processes, built with for performance and modularity.
Models can be trained via maximum likelihood estimation or by baysian inference.

Features

• High-performance kernels (JAX-compatible)
• Composable API for building custom models
• Multiple optimizers (Optax, Scipy, etc.)
• Built in Baysian inference of the models with NumPyro
• Automatic hyperparameter handling
• Built-in training workflows

Usage

Quickstart

from ife_surrogate.gp.kernels import Kriging
from ife_surrogate.gp.models import WidebandGP
from ife_surrogate.gp.trainers import SwarmTrainer

from ife_surrogate.utils.datasets import load_lc_dataset


dataset = load_lc_dataset()
x_train_scaled = data["x_train_scaled"]
x_test_scaled = data["x_test_scaled"]
y_train_scaled = data["y_train_scaled"]



d = x_train_scaled.shape[1]
priors = {"lengthscale": Uniform(1e-0, 1e1), "power": Uniform(1, 2)}
kernel = Kriging(lengthscale=jnp.ones(d), power=jnp.ones(d), priors=priors)

model = WidebandGP(x_train_scaled, y_train_scaled, kernel, f)

trainer = SwarmTrainer(number_iterations=200, number_particles=10)
best_run, history = trainer.train(model)

predictions, variances = model.predict(x_test_scaled)
