Bayesian Optimization by Density-Ratio Estimation

Project description

BORE: Bayesian Optimization as Density-Ratio Estimation

https://img.shields.io/pypi/v/bore.svg https://img.shields.io/travis/ltiao/bore.svg Documentation Status Updates

A minimalistic implementation of BORE: Bayesian Optimization as Density-Ratio Estimation [1] in Python 3 and TensorFlow 2.

Getting Started

Install my-project with npm

$ pip install bore[tf]

With GPU acceleration:

$ pip install bore[tf-gpu]

With support for HpBandSter plugin

$ pip install bore[tf,hpbandster]

Usage/Examples

from bore.models import MaximizableSequential
from tensorflow.keras.layers import Dense

# build model
classifier = MaximizableSequential()
classifier.add(Dense(16, activation="relu"))
classifier.add(Dense(16, activation="relu"))
classifier.add(Dense(1, activation="sigmoid"))

# compile model
classifier.compile(optimizer="adam", loss="binary_crossentropy")

The optimization loop can be implemented as follows:

import numpy as np

features = []
targets = []

# initial design
features.extend(features_init)
targets.extend(targets_init)

for i in range(num_iterations):

    # construct classification problem
    X = np.vstack(features)
    y = np.hstack(targets)

    tau = np.quantile(y, q=0.25)
    z = np.less(y, tau)

    # update classifier
    classifier.fit(X, z, epochs=200, batch_size=64)

    # suggest new candidate
    x_next = classifier.argmax(method="L-BFGS-B", num_start_points=3, bounds=bounds)

    # evaluate blackbox function
    y_next = blackbox.evaluate(x_next)

    # update dataset
    features.append(x_next)
    targets.append(y_next)

Features

  • BORE-MLP: BORE based on a multi-layer perceptron (MLP) (i.e. a fully-connected neural network) classifier

Roadmap

  • Integration with the Optuna framework by Sampler plugin implementation.
