The goal of this project is to examine the performance of a mixture experimentalist–a hybrid of different experimental sampling strategies–in terms of its ability to recover a ground-truth model from synthetic data.
Project description
AutoRA Mixture Experimentalist
The Mixture Experimentalist identifies novel experimental conditions under which a hybrid of different experimental sampling strategies is used. This mixture can include any custom strategies such as falsification, novelty, crucial experimentation, uncertainty, elimination, aesthetic preferences, and arbitrary preferred/dispreferred regions of the space. The selection of conditions is based on a weighted sum of the scores obtained from these strategies.
Quickstart Guide
You will need:
- Python 3.8 or greater: https://www.python.org/downloads/
Mixture Experimentalist is a part of the AutoRA package:
pip install -U autora["mixture_experimentalist"]
Check your installation by running:
python -c "from autora.experimentalist.sampler.mixture_experimentalist import mixture_sample"
Usage
The Mixture Experimentalist can be used to select experimental conditions based on a mixture of different strategies. Here's a basic example:
from autora.experimentalist.sampler.mixture import mixture_sampler
# Define your condition pool, temperature, samplers, and parameters
condition_pool = ...
temperature = ...
samplers = ...
params = ...
# Use the mixture_sampler to select conditions
selected_conditions = mixture_sample(
condition_pool=condition_pool,
temperature=temperature,
samplers=samplers,
params=params,
num_samples=10
)
In this example, condition_pool is the pool of experimental conditions to evaluate, temperature controls the randomness of the selection (close to 0 for deterministic, higher for more random), samplers is a list of sampler functions with their weights in the mixture, and params is a dictionary of parameters for the sampler functions.
