=========
|
|
|
|
Optunity is a library containing various optimizers for hyperparameter tuning.
|
|
Hyperparameter tuning is a recurrent problem in many machine learning tasks,
|
|
both supervised and unsupervised. Tuning examples include optimizing
|
|
regularization or kernel parameters.
|
|
|
|
From an optimization point of view, the tuning problem can be considered as
|
|
follows: the objective function is non-convex, non-differentiable and
|
|
typically expensive to evaluate.
|
|
|
|
This package provides several distinct approaches to solve such problems including
|
|
some helpful facilities such as cross-validation and a plethora of score functions.
|
|
|
|
The Optunity library is implemented in Python and allows straightforward
|
|
integration in other machine learning environments, including R and MATLAB.

To get started with Optunity on Linux, issue the following commands::
|
|
|
|
git clone https://github.com/claesenm/optunity.git
|
|
echo "export PYTHONPATH=$PYTHONPATH:$(pwd)/optunity" >> ~/.bashrc
|
|
|
|
Afterwards, importing ``optunity`` should work in Python::
|
|
|
|
#!/usr/bin/env python
|
|
import optunity
|
|
|
|
Optunity is developed at the STADIUS lab of the dept. of electrical engineering
|
|
at KU Leuven (ESAT). Optunity is free software, using a BSD license.
