10  Using sklearn Surrogates in spotPython

Besides the internal kriging surrogate, which is used as a default by spotPython, any surrogate model from scikit-learn can be used as a surrogate in spotPython. This chapter explains how to use scikit-learn surrogates in spotPython.

import numpy as np
from math import inf
from spotPython.fun.objectivefunctions import analytical
from spotPython.spot import spot

10.1 Example: Branin Function with spotPython’s Internal Kriging Surrogate

10.1.1 The Objective Function Branin

  • The spotPython package provides several classes of objective functions.

  • We will use an analytical objective function, i.e., a function that can be described by a (closed) formula.

  • Here we will use the Branin function:

      y = a * (x2 - b * x1**2 + c * x1 - r) ** 2 + s * (1 - t) * np.cos(x1) + s,
  where values of a, b, c, r, s and t are: a = 1, b = 5.1 / (4*pi**2),
  c = 5 / pi, r = 6, s = 10 and t = 1 / (8*pi).

  • It has three global minima:

      f(x) = 0.397887 at (-pi, 12.275), (pi, 2.275), and (9.42478, 2.475).
from spotPython.fun.objectivefunctions import analytical
fun = analytical().fun_branin
TensorBoard

Similar to the one-dimensional case, which was introduced in Section Section 7.5, we can use TensorBoard to monitor the progress of the optimization. We will use the same code, only the prefix is different:

from spotPython.utils.init import fun_control_init, design_control_init
PREFIX = "04"
fun_control = fun_control_init(
    PREFIX=PREFIX,
    lower = np.array([-5,-0]),
    upper = np.array([10,15]),
    fun_evals=20,
    max_time=inf)

design_control = design_control_init(
    init_size=10)
Created spot_tensorboard_path: runs/spot_logs/04_maans14_2024-04-22_00-23-39 for SummaryWriter()

10.1.2 Running the surrogate model based optimizer Spot:

spot_2 = spot.Spot(fun=fun,
                   fun_control=fun_control,
                   design_control=design_control)

10.1.3 TensorBoard

Now we can start TensorBoard in the background with the following command:

tensorboard --logdir="./runs"

We can access the TensorBoard web server with the following URL:

http://localhost:6006/

The TensorBoard plot illustrates how spotPython can be used as a microscope for the internal mechanisms of the surrogate-based optimization process. Here, one important parameter, the learning rate \(\theta\) of the Kriging surrogate is plotted against the number of optimization steps.

10.2 Example: Using Surrogates From scikit-learn

  • Default is the spotPython (i.e., the internal) kriging surrogate.
  • It can be called explicitely and passed to Spot.
from spotPython.build.kriging import Kriging
S_0 = Kriging(name='kriging', seed=123)
  • Alternatively, models from scikit-learn can be selected, e.g., Gaussian Process, RBFs, Regression Trees, etc.
# Needed for the sklearn surrogates:
from sklearn.gaussian_process import GaussianProcessRegressor
from sklearn.gaussian_process.kernels import RBF
from sklearn.tree import DecisionTreeRegressor
from sklearn.ensemble import RandomForestRegressor
from sklearn import linear_model
from sklearn import tree
import pandas as pd
  • Here are some additional models that might be useful later:
S_Tree = DecisionTreeRegressor(random_state=0)
S_LM = linear_model.LinearRegression()
S_Ridge = linear_model.Ridge()
S_RF = RandomForestRegressor(max_depth=2, random_state=0)

10.2.1 GaussianProcessRegressor as a Surrogate

  • To use a Gaussian Process model from sklearn, that is similar to spotPython’s Kriging, we can proceed as follows:
kernel = 1 * RBF(length_scale=1.0, length_scale_bounds=(1e-2, 1e2))
S_GP = GaussianProcessRegressor(kernel=kernel, n_restarts_optimizer=9)

  • The scikit-learn GP model S_GP is selected for Spot as follows:

    surrogate = S_GP

  • We can check the kind of surogate model with the command isinstance:

isinstance(S_GP, GaussianProcessRegressor) 
True
isinstance(S_0, Kriging)
True
  • Similar to the Spot run with the internal Kriging model, we can call the run with the scikit-learn surrogate:
fun = analytical(seed=123).fun_branin
spot_2_GP = spot.Spot(fun=fun,
                     fun_control=fun_control,
                     design_control=design_control,
                     surrogate = S_GP)
spot_2_GP.run()

10.6.1.2 Branin: Using Surrogates From scikit-learn

  • The HistGradientBoostingRegressor model from scikit-learn is selected:
# Needed for the sklearn surrogates:
from sklearn.ensemble import HistGradientBoostingRegressor
import pandas as pd
S_XGB = HistGradientBoostingRegressor()
  • The scikit-learn XGB model S_XGB is selected for Spot as follows: surrogate = S_XGB.
  • Similar to the Spot run with the internal Kriging model, we can call the run with the scikit-learn surrogate:
fun = analytical(seed=123).fun_branin
spot_2_XGB = spot.Spot(fun=fun,
                     fun_control=fun_control,

                     surrogate = S_XGB)
