) -> GenerationStrategy:
"""Select an appropriate generation strategy based on the properties of
the search space and expected settings of the experiment, such as number of
arms per trial, optimization algorithm settings, expected number of trials
in the experiment, etc.
Args:
search_space: SearchSpace, based on the properties of which to select the
generation strategy.
use_batch_trials: Whether this generation strategy will be used to generate
batched trials instead of 1-arm trials.
enforce_sequential_optimization: Whether to enforce that 1) the generation
strategy needs to be updated with ``min_trials_observed`` observations for
a given generation step before proceeding to the next one and 2) maximum
number of trials running at once (max_parallelism) if enforced for the
BayesOpt step. NOTE: ``max_parallelism_override`` and
``max_parallelism_cap`` settings will still take their effect on max
parallelism even if ``enforce_sequential_optimization=False``, so if those
settings are specified, max parallelism will be enforced.
random_seed: Fixed random seed for the Sobol generator.
torch_device: The device to use for generation steps implemented in PyTorch
(e.g. via BoTorch). Some generation steps (in particular EHVI-based ones
for multi-objective optimization) can be sped up by running candidate
generation on the GPU. If not specified, uses the default torch device
(usually the CPU).
no_winsorization: Whether to apply the winsorization transform
prior to applying other transforms for fitting the BoTorch model.
winsorization_config: Explicit winsorization settings, if winsorizing. Usually
only `upper_quantile_margin` is set when minimizing, and only
`lower_quantile_margin` when maximizing.
derelativize_with_raw_status_quo: Whether to derelativize using the raw status
quo values in any transforms. This argument is primarily to allow automatic
Winsorization when relative constraints are present. Note: automatic
Winsorization will fail if this is set to `False` (or unset) and there
are relative constraints present.
no_bayesian_optimization: If True, Bayesian optimization generation
strategy will not be suggested and quasi-random strategy will be used.
num_trials: Total number of trials in the optimization, if
known in advance.
num_initialization_trials: Specific number of initialization trials, if wanted.
Typically, initialization trials are generated quasi-randomly.
max_initialization_trials: If ``num_initialization_trials`` unspecified, it
will be determined automatically. This arg provides a cap on that
automatically determined number.
num_completed_initialization_trials: The final calculated number of
initialization trials is reduced by this number. This is useful when
warm-starting an experiment, to specify what number of completed trials
can be used to satisfy the initialization_trial requirement.
min_sobol_trials_observed: Minimum number of Sobol trials that must be
observed before proceeding to the next generation step. Defaults to
`ceil(num_initialization_trials / 2)`.
max_parallelism_cap: Integer cap on parallelism in this generation strategy.
If specified, ``max_parallelism`` setting in each generation step will be
set to the minimum of the default setting for that step and the value of
this cap. ``max_parallelism_cap`` is meant to just be a hard limit on
parallelism (e.g. to avoid overloading machine(s) that evaluate the
experiment trials). Specify only if not specifying
``max_parallelism_override``.
max_parallelism_override: Integer, with which to override the default max
parallelism setting for all steps in the generation strategy returned from
this function. Each generation step has a ``max_parallelism`` value, which
restricts how many trials can run simultaneously during a given generation
step. By default, the parallelism setting is chosen as appropriate for the
model in a given generation step. If ``max_parallelism_override`` is -1,
no max parallelism will be enforced for any step of the generation
strategy. Be aware that parallelism is limited to improve performance of
Bayesian optimization, so only disable its limiting if necessary.
optimization_config: used to infer whether to use MOO and will be passed in to
``Winsorize`` via its ``transform_config`` in order to determine default
winsorization behavior when necessary.
should_deduplicate: Whether to deduplicate the parameters of proposed arms
against those of previous arms via rejection sampling. If this is True,
the generation strategy will discard generator runs produced from the
generation step that has `should_deduplicate=True` if they contain arms
already present on the experiment and replace them with new generator runs.
If no generator run with entirely unique arms could be produced in 5
attempts, a `GenerationStrategyRepeatedPoints` error will be raised, as we
assume that the optimization converged when the model can no longer suggest
unique arms.
use_saasbo: Whether to use SAAS prior for any GPEI generation steps.
verbose: Whether GP model should produce verbose logs. If not ``None``, its
value gets added to ``model_kwargs`` during ``generation_strategy``
construction. Defaults to ``True`` for SAASBO, else ``None``. Verbose
outputs are currently only available for SAASBO, so if ``verbose is not
None`` for a different model type, it will be overridden to ``None`` with
a warning.
disable_progbar: Whether GP model should produce a progress bar. If not
``None``, its value gets added to ``model_kwargs`` during
``generation_strategy`` construction. Defaults to ``True`` for SAASBO, else
``None``. Progress bars are currently only available for SAASBO, so if
``disable_probar is not None`` for a different model type, it will be
overridden to ``None`` with a warning.
jit_compile: Whether to use jit compilation in Pyro when SAASBO is used.
experiment: If specified, ``_experiment`` attribute of the generation strategy
will be set to this experiment (useful for associating a generation
strategy with a given experiment before it's first used to ``gen`` with
that experiment). Can also provide `optimization_config` if it is not
provided as an arg to this function.
suggested_model_override: If specified, this model will be used for the GP
step and automatic selection will be skipped.
fit_out_of_design: Whether to include out-of-design points in the model.
