New SpotOptim Python package released for black-box function optimization

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

The SpotOptim Python package has been released, offering a framework for optimizing expensive black-box functions. It utilizes a Kriging-based approach with Expected Improvement and supports various variable types, noise-aware evaluations, and multi-objective optimization. The package includes features like a success-rate-based restart mechanism to prevent stagnation and integrates with scikit-learn compatible surrogate models. SpotOptim also provides TensorBoard logging for real-time monitoring and is compared against several other popular optimization tools. AI

IMPACT Provides a new tool for optimizing machine learning hyperparameters and other expensive black-box functions.
