- Minimize a scalar function using the One Plus One Evolutionary algorithm from Nevergrad.
-
- THe One Plus One evolutionary algorithm iterates to find a set of parameters that minimizes the loss
- function. It does this by perturbing, or mutating, the parameters from the last iteration (the
- parent). If the new (child) parameters yield a better result, then the child becomes the new parent
- whose parameters are perturbed, perhaps more aggressively. If the parent yields a better result, it
- remains the parent and the next perturbation is less aggressive. Originally proposed by

.. code-block::
- "nevergrad_randomsearch"
-
- Minimize a scalar function using the Random Search algorithm.
-
- This is a one-shot optimization method, provides random suggestions.
-
- - **middle\_point**:
- Enforces that the first suggested point (ask) is the zero vector. i.e we add (0,0,...,0) as a first
- point.
- - **opposition\_mode**: Symmetrizes exploration with respect to the center.
- - "opposite": enables full symmetry by always evaluating mirrored points.
- - "quasi": applies randomized symmetry (less strict, more exploratory).
- - None: disables any symmetric mirroring in the sampling process.
- - **sampler**:
- - "parametrization": uses the default sample() method of the parametrization, which samples uniformly within bounds or from a Gaussian.
- - "gaussian": samples from a standard Gaussian distribution.
- - "cauchy": uses a Cauchy distribution instead of Gaussian.
- - **scale**: Scalar used to multiply suggested point values, or a string mode:
- - "random": uses a randomized pattern for the scale.
- - "auto": sigma = (1 + log(budget)) / (4 * log(dimension)); adjusts scale based on problem size.
- - "autotune": sigma = sqrt(log(budget) / dimension); alternative auto-scaling based on budget and dimensionality.
- - **recommendation\_rule**: Specifies how the final recommendation is chosen.
- - "average_of_best": returns the average of top-performing candidates.
- - "pessimistic": selects the pessimistic best (default);
- - "average_of_exp_best": uses an exponential moving average of the best points.
- - **stopping\_maxfun**: Maximum number of function evaluations before termination.
- - **n\_cores**: Number of cores to use for parallel function evaluation.
- - **seed**: Seed for the random number generator for reproducibility.
- - **sigma**:
- Standard deviation for sampling initial population from N(0, σ²) in case bounds are not provided.

+ **How to use this algorithm:**
+
.. code-block::
- "nevergrad_samplingsearch"
-
- Minimize a scalar function using SamplingSearch.
-
- This is a one-shot optimization method, but better than random search by ensuring more uniformity.
-
- - **sampler**: Choice of the low-discrepancy sampler used for initial points.
- - "Halton": deterministic, well-spaced sequences
- - "Hammersley": similar to Halton but more uniform in low dimension
- - "LHS": Latin Hypercube Sampling; ensures coverage along each axis
- - **scrambled**:
- If True, Adds scrambling to the search; much better in high dimension and rarely worse than the
- original search.
- - **middle\_point**:
- If True, the first suggested point is the zero vector. Useful for initializing at the center of the
- search space.
- - **cauchy**:
- If True, uses the inverse Cauchy distribution instead of Gaussian when projecting samples to real-
- valued space (especially when no box bounds exist).
- - **scale**: A float multiplier or "random".
- - float: directly scales all generated points
- - "random": uses a randomized scaling pattern for increased diversity
- - **rescaled**: If True or a specific mode, rescales the sampling pattern.
- - Ensures coverage of boundaries and may apply adaptive scaling
- - Useful when original scale is too narrow or biased
- - **recommendation\_rule**: How the final recommendation is chosen.
- - "average_of_best": mean of the best-performing points
- - "pessimistic": selects the point with best worst-case value (default)
- - **stopping\_maxfun**: Maximum number of function evaluations before termination.
- - **n\_cores**: Number of cores to use for parallel function evaluation.
- - **seed**: Seed for the random number generator for reproducibility.
- - **sigma**:
- Standard deviation for sampling initial population from N(0, σ²) in case bounds are not provided. Notes
- -----
- - Halton is a low quality sampling method when the dimension is high; it is usually better to use Halton with scrambling.
- - When the budget is known in advance, it is also better to replace Halton by Hammersley.

- Minimize a scalar function using the One Plus One Evolutionary algorithm from Nevergrad.
-
- THe One Plus One evolutionary algorithm iterates to find a set of parameters that minimizes the loss
- function. It does this by perturbing, or mutating, the parameters from the last iteration (the
- parent). If the new (child) parameters yield a better result, then the child becomes the new parent
- whose parameters are perturbed, perhaps more aggressively. If the parent yields a better result, it
- remains the parent and the next perturbation is less aggressive. Originally proposed by
- :cite:`Rechenberg1973`. The implementation in Nevergrad is based on the one-fifth adaptation rule,
- going back to :cite:`Schumer1968.
-
- - **noise\_handling**: Method for handling the noise, can be
- - "random": A random point is reevaluated regularly using the one-fifth adaptation rule.
- - "optimistic": The best optimistic point is reevaluated regularly, embracing optimism in the face of uncertainty.
- - A float coefficient can be provided to tune the regularity of these reevaluations (default is 0.05). Eg: with 0.05, each evaluation has a 5% chance (i.e., 1 in 20) of being repeated (i.e., the same candidate solution is reevaluated to better estimate its performance). (Default: `None`).
- - **n\_cores**: Number of cores to use.
-
- - **stopping.maxfun**: Maximum number of function evaluations.
- - **mutation**: Type of mutation to apply. Available options are (Default: `"gaussian"`).
- - "gaussian": Standard mutation by adding a Gaussian random variable (with progressive widening) to the best pessimistic point.
- - "cauchy": Same as Gaussian but using a Cauchy distribution.
- - "discrete": Mutates a randomly drawn variable (mutation occurs with probability 1/d in d dimensions, hence ~1 variable per mutation).
- - "discreteBSO": Follows brainstorm optimization by gradually decreasing mutation rate from 1 to 1/d.
- - "fastga": Fast Genetic Algorithm mutations from the current best.
- - "doublefastga": Double-FastGA mutations from the current best :cite:`doerr2017`.
- - "rls": Randomized Local Search — mutates one and only one variable.
- - "portfolio": Random number of mutated bits, known as uniform mixing :cite:`dang2016`.
- - "lengler": Mutation rate is a function of dimension and iteration index.
- - "lengler{2|3|half|fourth}": Variants of the Lengler mutation rate adaptation.
- - **sparse**: Whether to apply random mutations that set variables to zero. Default is `False`.
- - **smoother**: Whether to suggest smooth mutations. Default is `False`.
- - **annealing**:
- Annealing schedule to apply to mutation amplitude or temperature-based control. Options are:
- - "none": No annealing is applied.
- - "Exp0.9": Exponential decay with rate 0.9.
- - "Exp0.99": Exponential decay with rate 0.99.
- - "Exp0.9Auto": Exponential decay with rate 0.9, auto-scaled based on problem horizon.
- - "Lin100.0": Linear decay from 1 to 0 over 100 iterations.
- - "Lin1.0": Linear decay from 1 to 0 over 1 iteration.
- - "LinAuto": Linearly decaying annealing automatically scaled to the problem horizon. Default is `"none"`.
- - **super\_radii**:
- Whether to apply extended radii beyond standard bounds for candidate generation, enabling broader
- exploration. Default is `False`.
- - **roulette\_size**:
- Size of the roulette wheel used for selection in the evolutionary process. Affects the sampling
- diversity from past candidates. (Default: `64`)
- - **antismooth**:
- Degree of anti-smoothing applied to prevent premature convergence in smooth landscapes. This alters
- the landscape by penalizing overly smooth improvements. (Default: `4`)
- - **crossover**: Whether to include a genetic crossover step every other iteration. Default is `False`.
- - **crossover\_type**:
- Method used for genetic crossover between individuals in the population. Available options (Default: `"none"`):
- - "none": No crossover is applied.
- - "rand": Randomized selection of crossover point.
- - "max": Crossover at the point with maximum fitness gain.
- - "min": Crossover at the point with minimum fitness gain.
- - "onepoint": One-point crossover, splitting the genome at a single random point.
- - "twopoint": Two-point crossover, splitting the genome at two points and exchanging the middle section.
- - **tabu\_length**:
- Length of the tabu list used to prevent revisiting recently evaluated candidates in local search
- strategies. Helps in escaping local minima. (Default: `1000`)
- - **rotation**:
- Whether to apply rotational transformations to the search space, promoting invariance to axis-
- aligned structures and enhancing search performance in rotated coordinate systems. (Default:
- `False`)
- - **seed**: Seed for the random number generator for reproducibility.
