-
FLEXIBLE - the package is designed to be simple and compatible with existing implementations and custom algorithms
-
COMPREHENSIVE - the package contains the largest collection of schedules of any Python package. For more, feel free to raise a feature request in Issues.
-
NUMBA FRIENDLY - schedule produced by the package is compatible with Numba and will not cause any issues if the rest of the algorithm is Numba compatible. This can drastically speed up the algorithm.
Package contains Schedule
class with methods that return an array of elements that is useful as a pre-defined parameter schedule (e.g. learning rate). The package can also be used for manually assigning varying weights to abstract particles. Overall, due to the general nature of the package a user might finds its own particular application.
from optschedule import Schedule
# Function to be minimized (objective function) $ f(x) = (x+2)^2 $
def foo(params):
return (params[0] + 2) ** 2
# Creating learning rate schedule
schedule = Schedule(1000)
learning_rate = schedule.exponential_decay(initial_value=0.1, decay_rate=0.5)
# Array with objective value
objective = np.zeros(1000)
# Initial parameter value
param = [10]
# Difference
d = 0.01
# Gradient Descent Algorithm
for epoch, l in enumerate(learning_rate):
objective[epoch] = foo(param)
difference_objective = foo([param[0]+d])
param[0] = param[0] - l*(difference_objective - objective[epoch])/d
print(f"Solution: {param[0]}")
