Base Models¶

ax.models.base¶

class ax.models.base.Model[source]¶

Bases: object

Base class for an Ax model.

Note: the core methods each model has: fit, predict, gen, cross_validate, and best_point are not present in this base class, because the signatures for those methods vary based on the type of the model. This class only contains the methods that all models have in common and for which they all share the signature.

classmethod deserialize_state(serialized_state: Dict[str, Any]) → Dict[str, Any][source]¶: Restores model’s state from its serialized form, to the format it expects to receive as kwargs.

feature_importances() → Any[source]¶

classmethod serialize_state(raw_state: Dict[str, Any]) → Dict[str, Any][source]¶: Serialized output of self._get_state to a JSON-ready dict. This may involve storing part of state in files / external storage and saving handles for that storage in the resulting serialized state.

Bases: ax.models.random.uniform.UniformGenerator

Sample in a low-dimensional linear embedding, to initialize ALEBO.

Generates points on a linear subspace of [-1, 1]^D by generating points in [-b, b]^D, projecting them down with a matrix B, and then projecting them back up with the pseudoinverse of B. Thus points thus all lie in a linear subspace defined by B. Points whose up-projection falls outside of [-1, 1]^D are thrown out, via rejection sampling.

To generate n points, we start with nsamp points in [-b, b]^D, which are mapped down to the embedding and back up as described above. If >=n points fall within [-1, 1]^D after being mapped up, then the first n are returned. If there are less than n points in [-1, 1]^D, then b is constricted (halved) and the process is repeated until there are at least n points in [-1, 1]^D. There exists a b small enough that all points will project to [-1, 1]^D, so this is guaranteed to terminate, typically after few rounds.

Parameters

B – A (dxD) projection down.
nsamp – Number of samples to use for rejection sampling.
init_bound – b for the initial sampling space described above.
seed – seed for UniformGenerator

The GP for ALEBO.

Uses the Mahalanobis kernel defined in ALEBOKernel, along with a ScaleKernel to add a kernel variance and a fitted constant mean.

In non-batch mode, there is a single kernel that produces MVN predictions as usual for a GP. With b batches, each batch has its own set of kernel hyperparameters and each batch represents a sample from the hyperparameter posterior distribution. When making a prediction (with __call__), these samples are integrated over using moment matching. So, the predictions are an MVN as usual with the same shape as in non-batch mode.

class ax.models.torch.alebo.ALEBOKernel(B: torch.Tensor, batch_shape: torch.Size)[source]¶

Bases: gpytorch.kernels.kernel.Kernel

The kernel for ALEBO.

Suppose there exists an ARD RBF GP on an (unknown) linear embedding with projection matrix A. We make function evaluations in a different linear embedding with projection matrix B (known). This is the appropriate kernel for fitting those data.

This kernel computes a Mahalanobis distance, and the (d x d) PD distance matrix Gamma is a parameter that must be fit. This is done by fitting its upper Cholesky decomposition, U.

Parameters

B – (d x D) Projection matrix.
batch_shape – Batch shape as usual for gpytorch kernels.

Infer objective thresholds.

This method uses the model-estimated Pareto frontier over the in-sample points to infer absolute (not relativized) objective thresholds.

This uses a heuristic that sets the objective threshold to be a scaled nadir point, where the nadir point is scaled back based on the range of each objective across the current in-sample Pareto frontier.

See botorch.utils.multi_objective.hypervolume.infer_reference_point for details on the heuristic.

predict(X: torch.Tensor) → Tuple[torch.Tensor, torch.Tensor][source]¶

Predict

Parameters

X – (j x d) tensor of the j points at which to make predictions.

Returns

2-element tuple containing

(j x m) tensor of outcome predictions at X.
(j x m x m) tensor of predictive covariances at X. cov[j, m1, m2] is Cov[m1@j, m2@j].

project_down(X_D: torch.Tensor) → torch.Tensor[source]¶

Map points in the high-D space to the low-d space by looking them up in self.X_d.

We assume that X_D = self.project_up(self.X_d), except possibly with rows shuffled. If a value in X_d cannot be found for each row in X_D, an error will be raised.

This is quite fast relative to model fitting, so we do it in O(n^2) time and don’t worry about it.

Parameters: X_D – Tensor in high-D space.
Returns: Tensor in low-d space.
Return type: X_d

project_up(X: torch.Tensor) → torch.Tensor[source]¶: Project to high-dimensional space.

task_features: List[int]¶

to_01(X_d: torch.Tensor) → torch.Tensor[source]¶

Map points from bounds_d to [0, 1].

Parameters: X_d – Tensor in bounds_d

Returns: Tensor in [0, 1].

update(Xs: List[torch.Tensor], Ys: List[torch.Tensor], Yvars: List[torch.Tensor], candidate_metadata: Optional[List[List[Optional[Dict[str, Any]]]]] = None, **kwargs: Any) → None [source]¶

Update the model.

Updating the model requires both existing and additional data. The data passed into this method will become the new training data.

Parameters

Xs – Existing + additional data for the model, in the same format as for fit.
Ys – Existing + additional data for the model, in the same format as for fit.
Yvars – Existing + additional data for the model, in the same format as for fit.
search_space_digest – A SearchSpaceDigest object containing metadata on the features in X.
metric_names – Names of each outcome Y in Ys.
candidate_metadata – Model-produced metadata for candidates, in the order corresponding to the Xs.
