Search Space API
================
.. _tune-sample-docs:
Random Distributions API
------------------------
This section covers the functions you can use to define your search spaces.
.. caution::
Not all Search Algorithms support all distributions. In particular,
``tune.sample_from`` and ``tune.grid_search`` are often unsupported.
The default :ref:`tune-basicvariant` supports all distributions.
For a high-level overview, see this example:
.. TODO: test this
.. code-block :: python
config = {
# Sample a float uniformly between -5.0 and -1.0
"uniform": tune.uniform(-5, -1),
# Sample a float uniformly between 3.2 and 5.4,
# rounding to increments of 0.2
"quniform": tune.quniform(3.2, 5.4, 0.2),
# Sample a float uniformly between 0.0001 and 0.01, while
# sampling in log space
"loguniform": tune.loguniform(1e-4, 1e-2),
# Sample a float uniformly between 0.0001 and 0.1, while
# sampling in log space and rounding to increments of 0.00005
"qloguniform": tune.qloguniform(1e-4, 1e-1, 5e-5),
# Sample a random float from a normal distribution with
# mean=10 and sd=2
"randn": tune.randn(10, 2),
# Sample a random float from a normal distribution with
# mean=10 and sd=2, rounding to increments of 0.2
"qrandn": tune.qrandn(10, 2, 0.2),
# Sample a integer uniformly between -9 (inclusive) and 15 (exclusive)
"randint": tune.randint(-9, 15),
# Sample a random uniformly between -21 (inclusive) and 12 (inclusive (!))
# rounding to increments of 3 (includes 12)
"qrandint": tune.qrandint(-21, 12, 3),
# Sample a integer uniformly between 1 (inclusive) and 10 (exclusive),
# while sampling in log space
"lograndint": tune.lograndint(1, 10),
# Sample a integer uniformly between 1 (inclusive) and 10 (inclusive (!)),
# while sampling in log space and rounding to increments of 2
"qlograndint": tune.qlograndint(1, 10, 2),
# Sample an option uniformly from the specified choices
"choice": tune.choice(["a", "b", "c"]),
# Sample from a random function, in this case one that
# depends on another value from the search space
"func": tune.sample_from(lambda spec: spec.config.uniform * 0.01),
# Do a grid search over these values. Every value will be sampled
# `num_samples` times (`num_samples` is the parameter you pass to `tune.run()`)
"grid": tune.grid_search([32, 64, 128])
