In my opinion, 'nugget' is a terrible name for measurement error. However, I won't go into a rant here :-) No it is not in the same units as in...

There is some more detail about this in the supplementary materials of this paper: http://www.dmi.usherb.ca/~larocheh/publications/gpopt_nips_appendix.pdf

It's always a good idea to reuse existing experiments if you can! If you use the 'spearmint lite' code, you can add as many rows into the flat results file...

The short answer is that there isn't a stopping criterion, but rather you can just stop the optimization when it looks like the objective isn't getting any better (or your...

Unfortunately, this definitely will not work correctly if you restart main with a different range. This would require either writing scripts to extract the old range and create a new...

Note that this is fixed in the new spearmint repo (https://github.com/HIPS/Spearmint)

Yes and the parameters and jobs are stored within the grid object in the unit hypercube (encoded). On Tue, Oct 21, 2014 at 3:03 PM, Jimmy Jia [email protected] wrote: >...

Yeah I think that's it! On Tue, Oct 21, 2014 at 4:01 PM, Alex Rothberg [email protected] wrote: > So in order to convert a saved pickle file, I would have...

Hi @cuihenggang, yes there are known pathologies with the optimization routine that have been addressed in a variety of follow up papers (e.g. https://arxiv.org/abs/1402.0929). Much of these improvements are implemented...

Unfortunately, I don't think there's a "light" version of that code. It requires that you set up a database (mongodb). I can't really speak for the various branches since I...
