XBBO is an an effective, modular, reproducible and flexible black-box optimization (BBO) codebase, which aims to provide a common framework and benchmark for the BBO community.

This project is now supported by PengCheng Lab.

Overview

XBBO decouples the search algorithm from the search space and provides a unified search space interface, allowing developers to focus on the search algorithm.

We provide these black box optimization algorithms as follows:

Installation

Python >= 3.7 is required.

Installation from PyPI

To install XBBO from PyPI:

pip install xbbo

For detailed instructions, please refer to Installation.md

Search Space

XBBO uses ConfigSpace as a tool to define search space. Please see ConfigSpace for how to define a search space.

Quick Start

note:XBBO default minimize black box function. All examples can be found in examples/ folder.

Here we take optimizing a quadratic function as a toy example:

from ConfigSpace import ConfigurationSpace
from ConfigSpace.hyperparameters import \
    CategoricalHyperparameter, UniformFloatHyperparameter, UniformIntegerHyperparameter

from xbbo.search_algorithm.bo_optimizer import BO

def custom_black_box_func(config):
    '''
    define black box function:
    y = x^2
    '''
    return config['x'] ** 2

def custom_search_space():
    '''
    define search space
    '''
    configuration_space = ConfigurationSpace()
    configuration_space.add_hyperparameter(UniformFloatHyperparameter('x', -10, 10, default_value=-3))
    return configuration_space

if __name__ == "__main__":
    MAX_CALL = 30

    cs = custom_search_space()

    # specify black box optimizer
    hpopt = BO(space=cs, suggest_limit=MAX_CALL)
    # ---- Begin BO-loop ----
    for i in range(MAX_CALL):
        # suggest
        trial_list = hpopt.suggest() # defalut suggest one trial
        # evaluate 
        obs = custom_black_box_func(trial_list[0].config_dict)
        # observe
        trial_list[0].add_observe_value(obs)
        hpopt.observe(trial_list=trial_list)
        
        print(obs)
    
    print('find best (value, config):{}'.format(hpopt.trials.get_best()))

Please refer to Quick Start.md for more information.

Benchmark

XBBO provides an easy-to-use benchmark tool, users can easily and quickly test the performance of the variety black-box algorithms on each test problem. Clik here for more information.
