Acquisition Function Optimization¶

Generate a set of candidates via multi-start optimization.

Parameters:

acq_function (AcquisitionFunction) – An AcquisitionFunction.
bounds (Tensor) – A 2 x d tensor of lower and upper bounds for each column of X (if inequality_constraints is provided, these bounds can be -inf and +inf, respectively).

botorch.optim.initializers.gen_one_shot_kg_initial_conditions(acq_function, bounds, q, num_restarts, raw_samples, fixed_features=None, options=None, inequality_constraints=None, equality_constraints=None)[source]¶

Generate a batch of smart initializations for qKnowledgeGradient.

This function generates initial conditions for optimizing one-shot KG using the maximizer of the posterior objective. Intutively, the maximizer of the fantasized posterior will often be close to a maximizer of the current posterior. This function uses that fact to generate the initital conditions for the fantasy points. Specifically, a fraction of 1 - frac_random (see options) is generated by sampling from the set of maximizers of the posterior objective (obtained via random restart optimization) according to a softmax transformation of their respective values. This means that this initialization strategy internally solves an acquisition function maximization problem. The remaining frac_random fantasy points as well as all q candidate points are chosen according to the standard initialization strategy in gen_batch_initial_conditions.

Parameters:

acq_function (qKnowledgeGradient) – The qKnowledgeGradient instance to be optimized.
bounds (Tensor) – A 2 x d tensor of lower and upper bounds for each column of task features.
q (int) – The number of candidates to consider.
num_restarts (int) – The number of starting points for multistart acquisition function optimization.
raw_samples (int) – The number of raw samples to consider in the initialization heuristic.
fixed_features (Optional[Dict[int, float]]) – A map {feature_index: value} for features that should be fixed to a particular value during generation.
options (Optional[Dict[str, Union[bool, float, int]]]) – Options for initial condition generation. These contain all settings for the standard heuristic initialization from gen_batch_initial_conditions. In addition, they contain frac_random (the fraction of fully random fantasy points), num_inner_restarts and raw_inner_samples (the number of random restarts and raw samples for solving the posterior objective maximization problem, respectively) and eta (temperature parameter for sampling heuristic from posterior objective maximizers).
constraints (equality) – A list of tuples (indices, coefficients, rhs), with each tuple encoding an inequality constraint of the form sum_i (X[indices[i]] * coefficients[i]) >= rhs.
constraints – A list of tuples (indices, coefficients, rhs), with each tuple encoding an inequality constraint of the form sum_i (X[indices[i]] * coefficients[i]) = rhs.

botorch.optim.initializers.gen_value_function_initial_conditions(acq_function, bounds, num_restarts, raw_samples, current_model, fixed_features=None, options=None)[source]¶

Generate a batch of smart initializations for optimizing the value function of qKnowledgeGradient.

This function generates initial conditions for optimizing the inner problem of KG, i.e. its value function, using the maximizer of the posterior objective. Intutively, the maximizer of the fantasized posterior will often be close to a maximizer of the current posterior. This function uses that fact to generate the initital conditions for the fantasy points. Specifically, a fraction of 1 - frac_random (see options) of raw samples is generated by sampling from the set of maximizers of the posterior objective (obtained via random restart optimization) according to a softmax transformation of their respective values. This means that this initialization strategy internally solves an acquisition function maximization problem. The remaining raw samples are generated using draw_sobol_samples. All raw samples are then evaluated, and the initial conditions are selected according to the standard initialization strategy in ‘initialize_q_batch’ individually for each inner problem.

Parameters:

acq_function (AcquisitionFunction) – The value function instance to be optimized.
bounds (Tensor) – A 2 x d tensor of lower and upper bounds for each column of task features.
num_restarts (int) – The number of starting points for multistart acquisition function optimization.
raw_samples (int) – The number of raw samples to consider in the initialization heuristic.
current_model (Model) – The model of the KG acquisition function that was used to generate the fantasy model of the value function.
fixed_features (Optional[Dict[int, float]]) – A map {feature_index: value} for features that should be fixed to a particular value during generation.
options (Optional[Dict[str, Union[bool, float, int]]]) – Options for initial condition generation. These contain all settings for the standard heuristic initialization from gen_batch_initial_conditions. In addition, they contain frac_random (the fraction of fully random fantasy points), num_inner_restarts and raw_inner_samples (the number of random restarts and raw samples for solving the posterior objective maximization problem, respectively) and eta (temperature parameter for sampling heuristic from posterior objective maximizers).

Returns:

A num_restarts x batch_shape x q x d tensor that can be used as initial conditions for optimize_acqf(). Here batch_shape is the batch shape of value function model.

Return type:

Tensor

Example

>>> fant_X = torch.rand(5, 1, 2)
>>> fantasy_model = model.fantasize(fant_X, SobolQMCNormalSampler(16))

>>> Xinit = gen_value_function_initial_conditions(
>>>     value_function, bounds, num_restarts=10, raw_samples=512,

>>> )

botorch.optim.initializers.initialize_q_batch(X, Y, n, eta=1.0)[source]¶

Heuristic for selecting initial conditions for candidate generation.

This heuristic selects points from X (without replacement) with probability proportional to exp(eta * Z), where Z = (Y - mean(Y)) / std(Y) and eta is a temperature parameter.

When using an acquisiton function that is non-negative and possibly zero over large areas of the feature space (e.g. qEI), you should use initialize_q_batch_nonneg instead.

Parameters:

X (Tensor) – A b x batch_shape x q x d tensor of b - batch_shape samples of q-batches from a d`-dim feature space. Typically, these are generated using qMC sampling.
Y (Tensor) – A tensor of b x batch_shape outcomes associated with the samples. Typically, this is the value of the batch acquisition function to be maximized.
n (int) – The number of initial condition to be generated. Must be less than b.
eta (float) – Temperature parameter for weighting samples.

Returns:

A n x batch_shape x q x d tensor of n - batch_shape q-batch initial conditions, where each batch of n x q x d samples is selected independently.

Return type:

Tensor

>>> # for model with `d=6`:
>>> qUCB = qUpperConfidenceBound(model, beta=0.1)
>>> Xrnd = torch.rand(500, 3, 6)

Parameters:

X (Tensor) – A b x q x d tensor of b samples of q-batches from a d-dim. feature space. Typically, these are generated using qMC.
Y (Tensor) – A tensor of b outcomes associated with the samples. Typically, this is the value of the batch acquisition function to be maximized.
n (int) – The number of initial condition to be generated. Must be less than b.

Returns:

A n x q x d tensor of n q-batch initial conditions.

Return type:

Tensor

Example

>>> # To get `n=10` starting points of q-batch size `q=3`
>>> # for model with `d=6`:
