[docs] @PublicAPI class BasicVariantGenerator(SearchAlgorithm): """Uses Tune's variant generation for resolving variables. This is the default search algorithm used if no other search algorithm is specified. Args: points_to_evaluate: Initial parameter suggestions to be run first. This is for when you already have some good parameters you want to run first to help the algorithm make better suggestions for future parameters. Needs to be a list of dicts containing the configurations. max_concurrent: Maximum number of concurrently running trials. If 0 (default), no maximum is enforced. constant_grid_search: If this is set to ``True``, Ray Tune will *first* try to sample random values and keep them constant over grid search parameters. If this is set to ``False`` (default), Ray Tune will sample new random parameters in each grid search condition. random_state: Seed or numpy random generator to use for reproducible results. If None (default), will use the global numpy random generator (``np.random``). Please note that full reproducibility cannot be guaranteed in a distributed environment. Example: .. code-block:: python from ray import tune # This will automatically use the `BasicVariantGenerator` tuner = tune.Tuner( lambda config: config["a"] + config["b"], tune_config=tune.TuneConfig( num_samples=4 ), param_space={ "a": tune.grid_search([1, 2]), "b": tune.randint(0, 3) }, ) tuner.fit() In the example above, 8 trials will be generated: For each sample (``4``), each of the grid search variants for ``a`` will be sampled once. The ``b`` parameter will be sampled randomly. The generator accepts a pre-set list of points that should be evaluated. The points will replace the first samples of each experiment passed to the ``BasicVariantGenerator``. Each point will replace one sample of the specified ``num_samples``. If grid search variables are overwritten with the values specified in the presets, the number of samples will thus be reduced. Example: .. code-block:: python from ray import tune from ray.tune.search.basic_variant import BasicVariantGenerator tuner = tune.Tuner( lambda config: config["a"] + config["b"], tune_config=tune.TuneConfig( search_alg=BasicVariantGenerator(points_to_evaluate=[ {"a": 2, "b": 2}, {"a": 1}, {"b": 2} ]), num_samples=4 ), param_space={ "a": tune.grid_search([1, 2]), "b": tune.randint(0, 3) }, ) tuner.fit() The example above will produce six trials via four samples: - The first sample will produce one trial with ``a=2`` and ``b=2``. - The second sample will produce one trial with ``a=1`` and ``b`` sampled randomly - The third sample will produce two trials, one for each grid search value of ``a``. It will be ``b=2`` for both of these trials. - The fourth sample will produce two trials, one for each grid search value of ``a``. ``b`` will be sampled randomly and independently for both of these trials.
