mlr_optimizers_gensa: Optimization via Generalized Simulated Annealing

Description

OptimizerGenSA class that implements generalized simulated annealing. Calls GenSA::GenSA() from package GenSA.

Dictionary

This Optimizer can be instantiated via the dictionary mlr_optimizers or with the associated sugar function opt():

mlr_optimizers$get("gensa")
opt("gensa")

Parameters

smooth

logical(1)

temperature

numeric(1)

acceptance.param

numeric(1)

verbose

logical(1)

trace.mat

logical(1)

For the meaning of the control parameters, see GenSA::GenSA(). Note that we have removed all control parameters which refer to the termination of the algorithm and where our terminators allow to obtain the same behavior.

Progress Bars

$optimize() supports progress bars via the package progressr combined with a Terminator. Simply wrap the function in progressr::with_progress() to enable them. We recommend to use package progress as backend; enable with progressr::handlers("progress").

Examples

# NOT RUN {
if(requireNamespace("GenSA")) {

search_space = domain = ps(x = p_dbl(lower = -1, upper = 1))

codomain = ps(y = p_dbl(tags = "minimize"))

objective_function = function(xs) {
  list(y = as.numeric(xs)^2)
}

objective = ObjectiveRFun$new(
 fun = objective_function,
 domain = domain,
 codomain = codomain)

instance = OptimInstanceSingleCrit$new(
 objective = objective,
 search_space = search_space,
 terminator = trm("evals", n_evals = 10))

optimizer = opt("cmaes")

# Modifies the instance by reference
optimizer$optimize(instance)

# Returns best scoring evaluation
instance$result

# Allows access of data.table of full path of all evaluations
as.data.table(instance$archive$data)
}
