Benchmarking

microprediction opened this issue · 1 comments

Hello, I maintain the humpday package which I use to select optimizers. Biteopt was brought to my attention by this issue and I'd like to include it. It seems like the other benchmarking has gone very well.

I'm assuming I can use biteopt? You say there are zero hyper-parameters, which is good, but is there anything obvious I should know?

Hello! Yes, of course you can use biteopt as you wish, it's MIT licensed. I've made it as "plug and play" as possible, so there are no catches to my knowledge. I suggest you to take a look here: https://github.com/dietmarwo/fast-cma-es This implementation can use multiple threads (parallel retry). May be more practical considering BiteOpt by design requires several retries/attempts for complex problems.
