Spearmint Bayesian optimization codebase

Overview

Spearmint

Spearmint is a software package to perform Bayesian optimization. The Software is designed to automatically run experiments (thus the code name spearmint) in a manner that iteratively adjusts a number of parameters so as to minimize some objective in as few runs as possible.

IMPORTANT: Spearmint is under an Academic and Non-Commercial Research Use License. Before using spearmint please be aware of the license. If you do not qualify to use spearmint you can ask to obtain a license as detailed in the license or you can use the older open source code version (which is somewhat outdated) at https://github.com/JasperSnoek/spearmint.

Setting up Spearmint

STEP 1: Installation

  1. Install python, numpy, scipy, pymongo. For academic users, the anaconda distribution is great. Use numpy 1.8 or higher. We use python 2.7.
  2. Download/clone the spearmint code
  3. Install the spearmint package using pip: pip install -e \</path/to/spearmint/root\> (the -e means changes will be reflected automatically)
  4. Download and install MongoDB: https://www.mongodb.org/
  5. Install the pymongo package using e.g., pip pip install pymongo or anaconda conda install pymongo

STEP 2: Setting up your experiment

  1. Create a callable objective function. See ./examples/simple/branin.py as an example
  2. Create a config file. There are 3 example config files in the ../examples directory. Note 1: There are more parameters that can be set in the config files than what is shown in the examples, but these parameters all have default values. Note 2: By default Spearmint assumes your function is noisy (non-deterministic). If it is noise-free, you should set this explicitly as in the ../examples/simple/config.json file.

STEP 3: Running spearmint

  1. Start up a MongoDB daemon instance:
    mongod --fork --logpath <path/to/logfile\> --dbpath <path/to/dbfolder\>
  2. Run spearmint: python main.py \</path/to/experiment/directory\>

STEP 4: Looking at your results
Spearmint will output results to standard out / standard err. You can also load the results from the database and manipulate them directly.
