Computer Experiment LEarning Curve eXtrapolation

Tools for active learning on computer experiments, with support for learning curve extrapolation and progress forecasting.

Status

Work in progress, nothing in here should be considered stable yet.

Installation

# you almost certainly need:
install.packages(c("mlr3learners", "DiceKriging"))

# Install celecx
remotes::install_github("mlr-org/celecx")

Example

Run active learning to explore an unknown function:

library("celecx")
library("mlr3")
library("mlr3learners")  # for regr.km

# Define objective (unknown function to learn)
objective <- ObjectiveRFun$new(
 fun = function(xs) list(y = sin(xs$x * pi)),
 domain = ps(x = p_dbl(lower = 0, upper = 2)),
 codomain = ps(y = p_dbl(tags = "learn"))
)

# Run active learning
result <- optimize_active(
 objective = objective,
 term_evals = 10L,
 learner = lrn("regr.km", covtype = "matern5_2"),
 se_method = "auto",
 batch_size = 2L,
 aqf_evals = 20L,
 multipoint_method = "greedy"
)

# Access results
result$instance$archive$data  # All evaluated points

xvals <- seq(0, 2, length.out = 100)
yvals.true <- objective$fun(list(x = xvals))$y
yvals.pred <- result$optimizer$surrogate$predict(data.table::data.table(x = xvals))
plot(xvals, yvals.true, col = "red", type = "l", xlab = "x", ylab = "y",
  main = "Active Learning sin(x) with batch_size = 2")
lines(xvals, yvals.pred$mean, col = "blue")
lines(xvals, with(yvals.pred, mean + 1.96 * se), col = "blue", lty = 2)
lines(xvals, with(yvals.pred, mean - 1.96 * se), col = "blue", lty = 2)
text(y ~ x, labels = batch_nr, data = result$instance$archive$data, pos = 1)
Active Learning sin(x) with batch_size = 2
Active Learning sin(x) with batch_size = 2
