Oríon is an asynchronous framework for black-box function optimization.

Its purpose is to serve as a meta-optimizer for machine learning models and training, as well as a flexible experimentation platform for large scale asynchronous optimization procedures.

Core design value is the minimum disruption of a researcher's workflow. It allows fast and efficient tuning, providing minimum simple non-intrusive (not even necessary!) helper client interface for a user's script.

So if ./run.py --mini-batch=50 looks like what you execute normally, now what you have to do looks like this:

orion -n experiment_name ./run.py --mini-batch~'randint(32, 256)'

Why Oríon?

Effortless to adopt, deeply customizable

• Adopt it <https://orion.readthedocs.io/en/stable/user/script.html>_ with a single line of code
• Natively asynchronous <https://orion.readthedocs.io/en/stable/code/core.html>_, thus resilient and easy to parallelize
• Offers the latest established hyperparameter algorithms <https://orion.readthedocs.io/en/stable/user/algorithms.html>_
• Elegant and rich search-space definitions <https://orion.readthedocs.io/en/stable/user/searchspace.html>_
• Comprehensive configuration <https://orion.readthedocs.io/en/stable/user/config.html>_ system with smart defaults
• Transparent persistence in local or remote database <https://orion.readthedocs.io/en/stable/install/database.html>_
• Integrate seamlessly <https://orion.readthedocs.io/en/stable/plugins/base.html>_ your own hyper-optimization algorithms
• Language <https://orion.readthedocs.io/en/stable/user/script.html#language-compatibility>_ and configuration file <https://orion.readthedocs.io/en/stable/user/searchspace.html#configuration-file>_ agnostic

Installation

Install Oríon by running $ pip install orion. For more information consult the installation guide_.
