Add a tutorial entry to explain the usage of `ThresholdPruner`

Open toshihikoyanase opened this issue 4 years ago • 2 comments

Background

ThresholdPruner can prune the trials whose intermediate values exceed the user-defined threshold. The other pruners such as MedianPruner and HyperbandPruner compares the values with other trials, but ThresholdPruner doesn't. This characteristic is sometimes useful, for example, when the intermediate values are noisy and the other pruners don't work as expected. In this case, users may be able to save the optimization resource if they only prune the clearly unpromising trials based on the threshold.
