exp: random sweeps

Open dberenbaum opened this issue 3 years ago • 0 comments

As a follow up to #8083, it would be helpful to have support for random search. It's not possible with the basic sweeper in hydra.

Possible solutions:

  1. Add support for random search override syntax in the hydra basic sweeper (https://hydra.cc/docs/advanced/override_grammar/extended/#sweeps). Since random search needs to select random combinations across multiple parameters, I think this would require another top-level parameter to designate a random sweep and additional parameters (most importantly, the number of experiments to randomly try).
  2. Add a new hydra sweeper for random search.
  3. Add DVC-specific syntax for random search.
