selector-ac 0.1.0.4

Selector: Ensemble-Based Automated Algorithm Configuration

Selector: Ensemble-based Automated Algorithm Configuration

An algorithm configurator in Python using multiple configuration generators and models derived from state-of-the-art methods.

Currently integrated state-of-the-art AC method functionalities from

• CPPL
• GGA
• SMAC

Installation

You can use selector from the files the github repository or install it via

pip install selector-ac

Usage

A convenient way is to install Selector via pip and use it as a package in Python.

from selector.run_ac import ac

if __name__ == "__main__":
    scen_files = {'paramfile': 'your_path_to/params.pcs',
                  'instance_file': 'your_path_to/problem_instances.txt',
                  'feature_file': 'your_path_to/instance_features.txt'}

    ac(scen_files, 'desktop', # use 'cluster' for slurm
       run_obj='runtime', overall_obj='PAR10', cutoff_time=300,
       seed=44, par=10, winners_per_tournament=1, tournament_size=2,
       number_tournaments=2, termination_criterion='runtime',
       monitor='tournament_level', initial_instance_set_size=5, set_size=256,
       generator_multiple=1, memory_limit=2048, check_path=False,
       log_folder='your_log_folder_path', wallclock_limit=3600,
       wrapper_mod_name='your_path_to.your_wrapper', deterministic=0, 
       wrapper_class_name='Your_Wrapper')

You can also call a Python script as exemplified in selector/main.py and pass paths and arguments via command line.

Selector will run the AC process until the 'wallclock_limit' is reached and save the results in 'log_folder'.
