Olympus: a benchmarking framework for noisy optimization and experiment planning

Olympus provides a consistent and easy-to-use framework for benchmarking optimization algorithms. With olympus you can:

• Access a suite of 18 experiment planning algortihms via a simple and consistent interface
• Easily integrate custom optimization algorithms
• Access 10 experimentally-derived benchmarks emulated with probabilistic models, and 23 analytical test functions for optimization
• Easily integrate custom datasets, which can be used to train models for custom benchmarks

You can find more details in the documentation.

Installation

Olympus can be installed with pip:

pip install olymp

You can explore Olympus using the following Colab notebook:

Dependencies

The installation only requires:

• python >= 3.6
• numpy
• pandas
