bbotk (development version)

bbotk 1.3.0

  • feat: Add new stage on_result_begin to CallbackAsyncTuning and CallbackBatchTuning.
  • refactor: Rename stage on_result to on_result_end in CallbackAsyncTuning and CallbackBatchTuning.
  • docs: Extend the CallbackAsyncTuning and CallbackBatchTuning documentation.

bbotk 1.2.0

  • feat: ContextBatch and ContextAsync have a result_extra field now to access additional results passed to the instance.
  • refactor: Additional information are passed with extra to OptimInstance$assign_result().

bbotk 1.1.1

  • feat: The optimizers passes additional information to OptimInstance$assign_result() method.

bbotk 1.1.0

  • docs: Move vignette to mlr3book.
  • feat: Add hypervolume stagnation terminator trm("stagnation_hypervolume").
  • feat Add local search optimizer opt("local_search").
  • refactor: Remove unused fields from callbacks.
  • fix: Add "on_optimization_end_batch" stage to CallbackBatch.

bbotk 1.0.1

  • refactor: extra columns in results.

bbotk 1.0.0

  • feat: Introduce asynchronous optimization with the OptimizerAsync and OptimInstanceAsync classes.
  • BREAKING CHANGE: The Optimizer class is OptimizerBatch now.
  • BREAKING CHANGE: The OptimInstance class and subclasses are OptimInstanceBatch* now.
  • BREAKING CHANGE: The CallbackOptimization class is CallbackBatch now.
  • BREAKING CHANGE: The ContextOptimization class is ContextBatch now.
  • BREAKING CHANGE: Remove ArchiveBest class and keep_evals parameter from OptimInstance.

bbotk 0.8.0

  • fix: OptimizerIrace failed with logical parameters and dependencies.
  • refactor: Optimize the runtime of archive$best() method and add ties method.
  • compatibility: Work with new paradox version 1.0.0

bbotk 0.7.3

  • fix: OptimInstance$print() errored when the search space was empty.

bbotk 0.7.2

  • fix: Standalone Tuner and FSelector were rejected by ContextBatch.

bbotk 0.7.1

  • feat: Data unrelated to a specific point evaluation can be written to Archive$data_extra.

bbotk 0.7.0

  • fix: Terminator$format(with_params = TRUE) printed an empty list when no parameter was set.
  • refactor: OptimizerIrace automatically added the instances parameter to Objective$constants. From now on, the instances parameter can be also set manually.
  • BREAKING CHANGE: branin(xs) is now branin(x1, x2, noise) and branin_wu(x1, x2, fidelity).
  • feat: Add ObjectiveRFunMany that can evaluate a list of configurations with a user supplied function.
  • fix: If all configurations were missing a parameter, ObjectiveRFunDt$eval_many() did not create a column with NA for the missing parameter.
  • refactor: The default of digits in OptimizerIrace is 15 now to avoid rounding errors.
  • refactor: The bounds of double parameters were processed with only 4 decimal places in OptimizerIrace. By default, the bounds of double parameters are represented with 15 decimal places now. The digits parameter of OptimizerIrace also changes number of decimal places of the bounds now.

bbotk 0.6.0

  • fix: OptimizerIrace did not work with parameters with multiple dependencies.
  • feat: Add new callback that backups the archive to disk to mlr_callbacks.
  • feat: Create custom callbacks with the callback_batch() function.

bbotk 0.5.4

  • feat: Add OptimizerFocusSearch that performs a focusing random search.

bbotk 0.5.3

  • feat: Optimizer and Terminator objects have the field $id now.

bbotk 0.5.2

  • refactor: The $print() method of OptimInstance omits unnecessary columns now.
  • fix: The $clear() method of OptimInstance raised an error.
  • fix: The $clear() method of Archive missed to reset the $start_time field.
  • feat: Optimizer and Terminator objects have the optional field $label now.
  • feat: as.data.table() functions for objects of class Dictionary have been extended with additional columns.
  • feat: Add a as.data.table.DictionaryTerminator() function.

bbotk 0.5.1

  • fix: The return of the $.status() method of TerminatorRunTime and TerminatorClockTime was not in a consistent unit. The return is in seconds from now on.
  • fix: The number of evaluations was recorded as 0 in the log messages when the search space was empty.
  • feat: Add a as.data.table.DictionaryOptimizer() function.
  • feat: New $help() method which opens the manual page of an Optimizer.

bbotk 0.5.0

  • feat: Add $nds_selection() method to Archive.
  • feat: New Codomain class that allows extra parameters.
  • refactor: Objective values were automatically named. From now on, only unnamed returns of ObjectiveRFun are named.
  • fix: OptimInstance, Archive and Objective objects were not cloned properly.
  • refactor: The fields $param_classes, $properties and $packages of Optimizer objects are read-only now.
  • feat: The branin() function is exported now.

bbotk 0.4.0

  • feat: The search space and domain can now be empty.
  • feat: The budget of TerminatorEvals can now be changed depending on the dimension of the search space with the parameter k.
