Running Tune experiments with Nevergrad#

In this tutorial we introduce Nevergrad, while running a simple Ray Tune experiment. Tune’s Search Algorithms integrate with Nevergrad and, as a result, allow you to seamlessly scale up a Nevergrad optimization process - without sacrificing performance.

Nevergrad provides gradient/derivative-free optimization able to handle noise over the objective landscape, including evolutionary, bandit, and Bayesian optimization algorithms. Nevergrad internally supports search spaces which are continuous, discrete or a mixture of thereof. It also provides a library of functions on which to test the optimization algorithms and compare with other benchmarks.

In this example we minimize a simple objective to briefly demonstrate the usage of Nevergrad with Ray Tune via NevergradSearch. It’s useful to keep in mind that despite the emphasis on machine learning experiments, Ray Tune optimizes any implicit or explicit objective. Here we assume nevergrad==0.4.3.post7 library is installed. To learn more, please refer to Nevergrad website.

Click below to see all the imports we need for this example. You can also launch directly into a Binder instance to run this notebook yourself. Just click on the rocket symbol at the top of the navigation.

/Users/kai/.pyenv/versions/3.7.7/lib/python3.7/site-packages/nevergrad/optimization/differentialevolution.py:107: InefficientSettingsWarning: DE algorithms are inefficient with budget < 60
  "DE algorithms are inefficient with budget < 60", base.errors.InefficientSettingsWarning

Let’s start by defining a simple evaluation function. We artificially sleep for a bit (0.1 seconds) to simulate a long-running ML experiment. This setup assumes that we’re running multiple steps of an experiment and try to tune two hyperparameters, namely width and height, and activation.

def evaluate(step, width, height, activation):
    time.sleep(0.1)
    activation_boost = 10 if activation=="relu" else 1
    return (0.1 + width * step / 100) ** (-1) + height * 0.1 + activation_boost

Next, our objective function takes a Tune config, evaluates the score of your experiment in a training loop, and uses train.report to report the score back to Tune.

def objective(config):
    for step in range(config["steps"]):
        score = evaluate(step, config["width"], config["height"], config["activation"])
        train.report({"iterations": step, "mean_loss": score})

Now we construct the hyperparameter search space using ConfigSpace

Next we define the search algorithm built from NevergradSearch, constrained to a maximum of 4 concurrent trials with a ConcurrencyLimiter. Here we use ng.optimizers.OnePlusOne, a simple evolutionary algorithm.

algo = NevergradSearch(
    optimizer=ng.optimizers.OnePlusOne,
)
algo = tune.search.ConcurrencyLimiter(algo, max_concurrent=4)

The number of samples is the number of hyperparameter combinations that will be tried out. This Tune run is set to 1000 samples. (you can decrease this if it takes too long on your machine).

num_samples = 1000

Finally, all that’s left is to define a search space.

search_config = {
    "steps": 100,
    "width": tune.uniform(0, 20),
    "height": tune.uniform(-100, 100),
    "activation": tune.choice(["relu, tanh"])
}

Finally, we run the experiment to "min"imize the “mean_loss” of the objective by searching search_space via algo, num_samples times. This previous sentence is fully characterizes the search problem we aim to solve. With this in mind, observe how efficient it is to execute tuner.fit().

tuner = tune.Tuner(
    objective,
    tune_config=tune.TuneConfig(
        metric="mean_loss",
        mode="min",
        search_alg=algo,
        num_samples=num_samples,
    ),
    param_space=search_config,
)
results = tuner.fit()

INFO:ray.tune.tune:Total run time: 44.70 seconds (43.68 seconds for the tuning loop).

Here are the hyperparamters found to minimize the mean loss of the defined objective.

print("Best hyperparameters found were: ", results.get_best_result().config)

Best hyperparameters found were:  {'steps': 100, 'width': 2.1174116156230918, 'height': -90.50653873694615, 'activation': 'relu, tanh'}

Optional: passing the (hyper)parameter space into the search algorithm#

We can also pass the search space into NevergradSearch using their designed format.

space = ng.p.Dict(
    width=ng.p.Scalar(lower=0, upper=20),
    height=ng.p.Scalar(lower=-100, upper=100),
    activation=ng.p.Choice(choices=["relu", "tanh"])
)

algo = NevergradSearch(
    optimizer=ng.optimizers.OnePlusOne,
    space=space,
    metric="mean_loss",
    mode="min"
)
algo = tune.search.ConcurrencyLimiter(algo, max_concurrent=4)

Again we run the experiment, this time with a less passed via the config and instead passed through search_alg.

tuner = tune.Tuner(
    objective,
    tune_config=tune.TuneConfig(
#         metric="mean_loss",
#         mode="min",
        search_alg=algo,
        num_samples=num_samples,
    ),
    param_space={"steps": 100},
)
results = tuner.fit()

INFO:ray.tune.tune:Total run time: 43.33 seconds (43.21 seconds for the tuning loop).

Here are the hyperparamters found to minimize the mean loss of the defined objective. Note that we have to pass the metric and mode here because we don’t set it in the TuneConfig.

print("Best hyperparameters found were: ", results.get_best_result("mean_loss", "min").config)

Best hyperparameters found were:  {'steps': 100, 'width': 17.225166732233465, 'height': -98.07750812064515, 'activation': 'tanh'}
