Bases: botorch.utils.sampling.PolytopeSampler

A polytope sampler using Delaunay triangulation.

This sampler first enumerates the vertices of the constraint polytope and then uses a Delaunay triangulation to tesselate its convex hull.

The sampling happens in two stages: 1. First, we sample from the set of hypertriangles generated by the Delaunay triangulation (i.e. which hyper-triangle to draw the sample from) with probabilities proportional to the triangle volumes. 2. Then, we sample uniformly from the chosen hypertriangle by sampling uniformly from the unit simplex of the appropriate dimension, and then computing the convex combination of the vertices of the hypertriangle according to that draw from the simplex.

The best reference (not exactly the same, but functionally equivalent) is [Trikalinos2014polytope]. A simple R implementation is available at https://github.com/gertvv/tesselample.

Initialize DelaunayPolytopeSampler.

Parameters

inequality_constraints (Optional[Tuple[Tensor, Tensor]]) – Tensors (A, b) describing inequality constraints A @ x <= b, where A is a n_ineq_con x d-dim Tensor and b is a n_ineq_con x 1-dim Tensor, with n_ineq_con the number of inequalities and d the dimension of the sample space.
equality_constraints (Optional[Tuple[Tensor, Tensor]]) – Tensors (C, d) describing the equality constraints C @ x = d, where C is a n_eq_con x d-dim Tensor and d is a n_eq_con x 1-dim Tensor with n_eq_con the number of equalities.
bounds (Optional[Tensor]) – A 2 x d-dim tensor of box bounds, where inf (-inf) means that the respective dimension is unbounded from above (below).
interior_point (Optional[Tensor]) – A d x 1-dim Tensor representing a point in the (relative) interior of the polytope. If omitted, determined automatically by solving a Linear Program.

Return type

None

Warning: The vertex enumeration performed in this algorithm can become extremely costly if there are a large number of inequalities. Similarly, the triangulation can get very expensive in high dimensions. Only use this algorithm for moderate dimensions / moderately complex constraint sets. An alternative is the HitAndRunPolytopeSampler.

Example:

class MyModule(nn.Module):

        self.buffers = nn.BufferDict({
                'left': torch.randn(5, 10),
                'right': torch.randn(5, 10)

botorch.utils.multi_objective.hypervolume.infer_reference_point(pareto_Y, max_ref_point=None, scale=0.1, scale_max_ref_point=False)[source]¶

Get reference point for hypervolume computations.

This sets the reference point to be ref_point = nadir - 0.1 * range when there is no pareto_Y that is better than the reference point.

[Ishibuchi2011] find 0.1 to be a robust multiplier for scaling the nadir point.

Note: this assumes maximization of all objectives.

Parameters

pareto_Y (torch.Tensor) – A n x m-dim tensor of Pareto-optimal points.
max_ref_point (Optional[torch.Tensor]) – A m dim tensor indicating the maximum reference point.
scale (float) – A multiplier used to scale back the reference point based on the range of each objective.
scale_max_ref_point (bool) – A boolean indicating whether to apply scaling to the max_ref_point based on the range of each objective.

Returns

A m-dim tensor containing the reference point.

Return type

class botorch.utils.multi_objective.box_decompositions.non_dominated.NondominatedPartitioning(ref_point, Y=None, alpha=0.0)[source]¶

Bases: botorch.utils.multi_objective.box_decompositions.box_decomposition.BoxDecomposition

A class for partitioning the non-dominated space into hyper-cells.

Note: this assumes maximization. Internally, it multiplies outcomes by -1 and performs the decomposition under minimization. TODO: use maximization internally as well.

Note: it is only feasible to use this algorithm to compute an exact decomposition of the non-dominated space for m<5 objectives (alpha=0.0).

The alpha parameter can be increased to obtain an approximate partitioning faster. The alpha is a fraction of the total hypervolume encapsuling the entire Pareto set. When a hypercell’s volume divided by the total hypervolume is less than alpha, we discard the hypercell. See Figure 2 in [Couckuyt2012] for a visual representation.

This PyTorch implementation of the binary partitioning algorithm ([Couckuyt2012]) is adapted from numpy/tensorflow implementation at: https://github.com/GPflow/GPflowOpt/blob/master/gpflowopt/pareto.py.

TODO: replace this with a more efficient decomposition. E.g. https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s10898-019-00798-7.pdf

Initialize NondominatedPartitioning.

Parameters

ref_point (Tensor) – A m-dim tensor containing the reference point.
Y (Optional[Tensor]) – A (batch_shape) x n x m-dim tensor.
alpha (float) – A thresold fraction of total volume used in an approximate decomposition.

Return type

None

>>> bd = NondominatedPartitioning(ref_point, Y=Y1)

get_hypercell_bounds()[source]¶

Returns

Return type

torch.Tensor

compute_hypervolume()[source]¶

Compute the hypervolume for the given reference point.

This method computes the hypervolume of the non-dominated space and computes the difference between the hypervolume between the ideal point and hypervolume of the non-dominated space.

Returns: (batch_shape)-dim tensor containing the dominated hypervolume.

class botorch.utils.multi_objective.box_decompositions.non_dominated.FastNondominatedPartitioning(ref_point, Y=None)[source]¶

Bases: botorch.utils.multi_objective.box_decompositions.box_decomposition.FastPartitioning

A class for partitioning the non-dominated space into hyper-cells.

Note: this assumes maximization. Internally, it multiplies by -1 and performs the decomposition under minimization.

This class is far more efficient than NondominatedPartitioning for exact box partitionings

This class uses the two-step approach similar to that in [Yang2019], where:

first, Alg 1 from [Lacour17] is used to find the local lower bounds
for the maximization problem
second, the local lower bounds are used as the Pareto frontier for the
minimization problem, and [Lacour17] is applied again to partition the space dominated by that Pareto frontier.

Initialize FastNondominatedPartitioning.

Parameters

ref_point (Tensor) – A m-dim tensor containing the reference point.
Y (Optional[Tensor]) – A (batch_shape) x n x m-dim tensor.

Return type

None

Example

>>> bd = FastNondominatedPartitioning(ref_point, Y=Y1)

compute_hypervolume()[source]¶

training: bool¶

Pareto¶

botorch.utils.multi_objective.pareto.is_non_dominated(Y, deduplicate=True)[source]¶

Computes the non-dominated front.

Note: this assumes maximization.

For small n, this method uses a highly parallel methodology that compares all pairs of points in Y. However, this is memory intensive and slow for large n. For large n (or if Y is larger than 5MB), this method will dispatch to a loop-based approach that is faster and has a lower memory footprint.

Parameters

Y (torch.Tensor) – A (batch_shape) x n x m-dim tensor of outcomes.
deduplicate (bool) – A boolean indicating whether to only return unique points on the pareto frontier.

Returns

A (batch_shape) x n-dim boolean tensor indicating whether each point is non-dominated.

Return type

torch.Tensor

botorch.utils.multi_objective.scalarization.get_chebyshev_scalarization(weights, Y, alpha=0.05)[source]¶

Construct an augmented Chebyshev scalarization.

Augmented Chebyshev scalarization:: objective(y) = min(w * y) + alpha * sum(w * y)

Outcomes are first normalized to [0,1] for maximization (or [-1,0] for minimization) and then an augmented Chebyshev scalarization is applied.

Note: this assumes maximization of the augmented Chebyshev scalarization. Minimizing/Maximizing an objective is supported by passing a negative/positive weight for that objective. To make all w * y’s have positive sign such that they are comparable when computing min(w * y), outcomes of minimization objectives are shifted from [0,1] to [-1,0].

See [Knowles2005] for details.

This scalarization can be used with qExpectedImprovement to implement q-ParEGO as proposed in [Daulton2020qehvi].

Parameters

weights (torch.Tensor) – A m-dim tensor of weights. Positive for maximization and negative for minimization.
Y (torch.Tensor) – A n x m-dim tensor of observed outcomes, which are used for scaling the outcomes to [0,1] or [-1,0].
alpha (float) – Parameter governing the influence of the weighted sum term. The default value comes from [Knowles2005].

Returns

Transform function using the objective weights.

Return type

Callable[[torch.Tensor, Optional[torch.Tensor]], torch.Tensor]

Example

>>> weights = torch.tensor([0.75, -0.25])
>>> transform = get_aug_chebyshev_scalarization(weights, Y)
