The Machine Learning Optimizer

Machine Learning Optimizer

mlopt is a package to learn how to solve numerical optimization problems from data. It relies on cvxpy for modeling and gurobi for solving the problem offline.

mlopt learns how to solve programs using pytorch (pytorch-lightning), xgboost or optimaltrees. The machine learning hyperparameter optimization is performed using optuna.

Online, mlopt only requires to predict the strategy and solve a linear system using scikit-umfpack.
