如何显示scipy.optimize函数的进度？

Question

我scipy.optimize用来最小化12个参数的函数.

我刚刚开始优化并仍在等待结果.

有没有办法强制scipy.optimize显示其进度(比如已经完成了多少,目前最好的点是什么)？

Answer 1

正如mg007建议的那样,一些scipy.optimize例程允许回调函数(不幸的是,minimalsq目前不允许这样做).下面是一个使用"fmin_bfgs"例程的例子,其中我使用回调函数来显示参数的当前值和每次迭代时目标函数的值.

import numpy as np
from scipy.optimize import fmin_bfgs

Nfeval = 1

def rosen(X): #Rosenbrock function
    return (1.0 - X[0])**2 + 100.0 * (X[1] - X[0]**2)**2 + \
           (1.0 - X[1])**2 + 100.0 * (X[2] - X[1]**2)**2

def callbackF(Xi):
    global Nfeval
    print '{0:4d}   {1: 3.6f}   {2: 3.6f}   {3: 3.6f}   {4: 3.6f}'.format(Nfeval, Xi[0], Xi[1], Xi[2], rosen(Xi))
    Nfeval += 1

print  '{0:4s}   {1:9s}   {2:9s}   {3:9s}   {4:9s}'.format('Iter', ' X1', ' X2', ' X3', 'f(X)')   
x0 = np.array([1.1, 1.1, 1.1], dtype=np.double)
[xopt, fopt, gopt, Bopt, func_calls, grad_calls, warnflg] = \
    fmin_bfgs(rosen, 
              x0, 
              callback=callbackF, 
              maxiter=2000, 
              full_output=True, 
              retall=False)

输出如下所示:

Iter    X1          X2          X3         f(X)      
   1    1.031582    1.062553    1.130971    0.005550
   2    1.031100    1.063194    1.130732    0.004973
   3    1.027805    1.055917    1.114717    0.003927

   7    1.001201    1.002372    1.004708    0.000007
   8    1.000124    1.000249    1.000483    0.000000
   9    0.999999    0.999999    0.999998    0.000000
  10    0.999997    0.999995    0.999989    0.000000
  11    0.999997    0.999995    0.999989    0.000000
Optimization terminated successfully.
         Current function value: 0.000000
         Iterations: 11
         Function evaluations: 85
         Gradient evaluations: 17

至少通过这种方式,您可以观察优化器跟踪的最小值

Answer 2

按照@ joel的例子,有一种简洁有效的方法来做类似的事情.以下示例展示了如何多次摆脱global变量,call_back函数和重新评估目标函数.

import numpy as np
from scipy.optimize import fmin_bfgs

def rosen(X, info): #Rosenbrock function
    res = (1.0 - X[0])**2 + 100.0 * (X[1] - X[0]**2)**2 + \
           (1.0 - X[1])**2 + 100.0 * (X[2] - X[1]**2)**2


    # display information
    if info['Nfeval']%100 == 0:
        print '{0:4d}   {1: 3.6f}   {2: 3.6f}   {3: 3.6f}   {4: 3.6f}'.format(info['Nfeval'], X[0], X[1], X[2], res)
    info['Nfeval'] += 1
    return res

print  '{0:4s}   {1:9s}   {2:9s}   {3:9s}   {4:9s}'.format('Iter', ' X1', ' X2', ' X3', 'f(X)')   
x0 = np.array([1.1, 1.1, 1.1], dtype=np.double)
[xopt, fopt, gopt, Bopt, func_calls, grad_calls, warnflg] = \
    fmin_bfgs(rosen, 
              x0, 
              args=({'Nfeval':0},), 
              maxiter=1000, 
              full_output=True, 
              retall=False,
              )

这将产生类似的输出

Iter    X1          X2          X3         f(X)     
   0    1.100000    1.100000    1.100000    2.440000
 100    1.000000    0.999999    0.999998    0.000000
 200    1.000000    0.999999    0.999998    0.000000
 300    1.000000    0.999999    0.999998    0.000000
 400    1.000000    0.999999    0.999998    0.000000
 500    1.000000    0.999999    0.999998    0.000000
Warning: Desired error not necessarily achieved due to precision loss.
         Current function value: 0.000000
         Iterations: 12
         Function evaluations: 502
         Gradient evaluations: 98

但是,没有免费发布,在这里我用function evaluation times而不是algorithmic iteration times作为反击.一些算法可以在单次迭代中多次评估目标函数.

Answer 3

scipy 中的许多优化器确实缺乏详细的输出（作为例外的“trust-constr”方法scipy.optimize.minimize）。我遇到了类似的问题，并通过在目标函数周围创建一个包装器并使用回调函数来解决它。这里没有执行额外的函数评估，所以这应该是一个有效的解决方案。

import numpy as np

class Simulator:
def __init__(self, function):
    self.f = function # actual objective function
    self.num_calls = 0 # how many times f has been called
    self.callback_count = 0 # number of times callback has been called, also measures iteration count
    self.list_calls_inp = [] # input of all calls
    self.list_calls_res = [] # result of all calls
    self.decreasing_list_calls_inp = [] # input of calls that resulted in decrease
    self.decreasing_list_calls_res = [] # result of calls that resulted in decrease
    self.list_callback_inp = [] # only appends inputs on callback, as such they correspond to the iterations
    self.list_callback_res = [] # only appends results on callback, as such they correspond to the iterations

def simulate(self, x, *args):
    """Executes the actual simulation and returns the result, while
    updating the lists too. Pass to optimizer without arguments or
    parentheses."""
    result = self.f(x, *args) # the actual evaluation of the function
    if not self.num_calls: # first call is stored in all lists
        self.decreasing_list_calls_inp.append(x)
        self.decreasing_list_calls_res.append(result)
        self.list_callback_inp.append(x)
        self.list_callback_res.append(result)
    elif result < self.decreasing_list_calls_res[-1]:
        self.decreasing_list_calls_inp.append(x)
        self.decreasing_list_calls_res.append(result)
    self.list_calls_inp.append(x)
    self.list_calls_res.append(result)
    self.num_calls += 1
    return result

def callback(self, xk, *_):
    """Callback function that can be used by optimizers of scipy.optimize.
    The third argument "*_" makes sure that it still works when the
    optimizer calls the callback function with more than one argument. Pass
    to optimizer without arguments or parentheses."""
    s1 = ""
    xk = np.atleast_1d(xk)
    # search backwards in input list for input corresponding to xk
    for i, x in reversed(list(enumerate(self.list_calls_inp))):
        x = np.atleast_1d(x)
        if np.allclose(x, xk):
            break
    
    for comp in xk:
        s1 += f"{comp:10.5e}\t"
    s1 += f"{self.list_calls_res[i]:10.5e}"

    self.list_callback_inp.append(xk)
    self.list_callback_res.append(self.list_calls_res[i])

    if not self.callback_count:
        s0 = ""
        for j, _ in enumerate(xk):
            tmp = f"Comp-{j+1}"
            s0 += f"{tmp:10s}\t"
        s0 += "Objective"
        print(s0)
    print(s1)
    self.callback_count += 1

可以定义一个简单的测试

from scipy.optimize import minimize, rosen
ros_sim = Simulator(rosen)
minimize(ros_sim.simulate, [0, 0], method='BFGS', callback=ros_sim.callback, options={"disp": True})

print(f"Number of calls to Simulator instance {ros_sim.num_calls}")

当然，这只是一个模板，可以根据您的需要进行调整。它不提供有关优化器状态的所有信息（例如在 MATLAB 的优化工具箱中），但至少您对优化的进度有所了解。

类似的方法可以在这里找到，不使用回调函数。在我的方法中，回调函数用于在优化器完成迭代时准确打印输出，而不是每个函数调用。

Answer 4

尝试使用：

options={'disp': True} 

强制scipy.optimize.minimize打印中间结果。
