Project description
Nevergrad - A gradient-free optimization platform
nevergrad is a Python 3.6+ library. It can be installed with:
pip install nevergrad
More installation options and complete instructions are available in the "Getting started" section of the documentation.
You can join Nevergrad users Facebook group here.
Minimizing a function using an optimizer (here OnePlusOne) is straightforward:
import nevergrad as ng
def square(x):
return sum((x - .5)**2)
optimizer = ng.optimizers.OnePlusOne(parametrization=2, budget=100)
recommendation = optimizer.minimize(square)
print(recommendation) # optimal args and kwargs
>>> Array{(2,)}[recombination=average,sigma=1.0]:[0.49971112 0.5002944 ]
Convergence of a population of points to the minima with two-points DE.
