Tune Stopping Mechanisms (tune.stopper)#
In addition to Trial Schedulers like ASHA, where a number of trials are stopped if they perform subpar, Ray Tune also supports custom stopping mechanisms to stop trials early. They can also stop the entire experiment after a condition is met. For instance, stopping mechanisms can specify to stop trials when they reached a plateau and the metric doesn’t change anymore.
Ray Tune comes with several stopping mechanisms out of the box. For custom stopping behavior, you can
inherit from the Stopper class.
Other stopping behaviors are described in the user guide.
