mlr3mbo 0.2.8

• docs: gracefully exit examples of OptimizerAsyncMbo, OptimizerADBO, TunerAsyncMbo, and TunerADBO if Redis is not available.
• test: skip tests involving asynchronous logic if Redis is not available.

mlr3mbo 0.2.7

• refactor: refactored SurrogateLearner and SurrogateLearnerCollection to allow updating on an asynchronous Archive.
• feat: added experimental OptimizerAsyncMbo, OptimizerADBO, TunerAsyncMbo, and TunerADBO that allow for asynchronous optimization.
• feat: added AcqFunctionStochasticCB and AcqFunctionStochasticEI that are useful for asynchronous optimization.
• docs: minor changes to highlight differences between batch and asynchronous objects related to asynchronous support.
• refactor: AcqFunctions and AcqOptimizer gained a reset() method.

mlr3mbo 0.2.6

• refactor: Extract internal tuned values in instance.

mlr3mbo 0.2.5

• docs: Move vignette to mlr3book.
• feat: Add AcqFunctionMulti that can wrap multiple acquisition functions resulting in a multi-objective acquisition function problem.
• feat: Support callbacks in AcqOptimizer.
• feat: Allow AcqFunctionEI to be adjusted by epsilon to strengthen exploration.

mlr3mbo 0.2.4

• fix: Improve runtime of AcqOptimizer by setting check_values = FALSE.

mlr3mbo 0.2.3

• compatibility: Work with new bbotk and mlr3tuning version 1.0.0.

mlr3mbo 0.2.2

• refactor: compatibility with upcoming paradox upgrade.
• feat: OptimizerMbo and TunerMbo now update the Surrogate a final time after the optimization process finished to ensure that the Surrogate correctly reflects the state of being trained on all data seen during optimization.
• fix: AcqFunction domain construction now respects Surrogate cols_x field.
• feat: support more than one candidate point as a result of acquisition function optimization even for non-batch acquisition functions.
• feat: added default_gp and default_rf helpers that allow for construction of a default Gaussian Process and random forest as for example used within default_surrogate.
• refactor: changed Gaussian Process and random forest defaults (in default_gp and default_rf and therefore also in default_surrogate). Gaussian Process now uses a "matern5_2" kernel. Random forest now uses 100 trees. The number of trees used in the fallback random forest was reduced to 10.

mlr3mbo 0.2.1

• docs: updated some references in vignette.
• refactor: minor clean up of the internal structure of all loop functions.
• perf: default initial design constructed based on a Sobol sequence in all loop functions.
• refactor: no longer depend on mlr3tuning but import instead.
• refactor: srlrn sugar function now can construct both a SurrogateLearner and SurrogateLearnerCollection; dropped srlrnc.
• feat: added AcqFunctionSD, AcqFunctionEHVI and AcqFunctionEHVIGH, introduced bayesopt_emo loop function.
• feat: AcqFunctions now include a $packages field stating required packages which are checked for whether their namespace can be loaded prior to optimization.
• fix: fixed bug in fix_xdt_missing() helper function.
• BREAKING CHANGE: renaming default_loopfun -> default_loop_function, default_acqfun -> default_acqfunction, default_acqopt -> default_acqoptimizer.
• BREAKING CHANGE: result_functions now replaced by ResultAssigners.
• BREAKING CHANGE: renamed $model field of all Surrogate classes to $learner.
• BREAKING CHANGE: For all Surrogate and AcquisitionFunction classes fields *_cols renamed to cols_* (e.g., x_cols to cols_x).

mlr3mbo 0.1.2

• refactor: adapt to mlr3tuning 0.18.0.
• feat: Acquisition functions now assert whether surrogates match their required predict type.
• fix: Unloading mlr3mbo removes optimizers and tuners from the dictionaries.
• docs: faster examples.
• feat: characters in surrogate regression tasks are no longer automatically converted to factors. default_surrogate now respects this and gained an appropriate pipeline step.
• feat: AcqFunctionAEI added.
• docs: fix of docs, README and bibentries.

mlr3mbo 0.1.1

• Initial upload to CRAN.

These binaries (installable software) and packages are in development.
They may not be fully stable and should be used with caution. We make no claims about them.
