Parallel BO

[dodgejesse]

Hello,

How can I run this code so it includes parallel evaluations? Specifically, the paper Bayesian Optimization with Robust Bayesian Neural Networks claims to have parallel evaluations (in section 3) but I don't see that implemented here. I would like to be able to run such that at each iteration, it draws multiple hyperparameters assignments.

If this isn't implemented, is there a better package for parallel BO?

Thanks.

Hi,
unfortunately RoBO doesn't allows for parallel BO runs. However, we are actively working on a new BO method based on Hyperband (see our workshop paper) that can be run in parallel (code is online here). But we probably can't give you support until after the ICML deadline
