wandb number of random search iterations - default value

[lumliolum]

Hello,

While creating sweep for a model, hyperparameter method in sweep_config is either random or grid. The code for this is given here (see line 41)

https://github.com/LeoGrin/tabular-benchmark/blob/3ea416e5e20aa254dab1771ad5587f37bc88d4d6/launch_config/utils.py#L36-L51

If the method is random, then what is number of random iterations that wandb will use ?

I checked the wandb documentation here about sweep strategy : https://docs.wandb.ai/guides/sweeps/define-sweep-configuration#configuration-keys

but couldn't find the default value of random search iterations

If the method is random, wandb will keep on going until you tell it to stop. In the updated version of the code, I shared some code (https://github.com/LeoGrin/tabular-benchmark/blob/refactoring/src/launch_benchmarks/launch_on_cluster.py) to automatically stop wandb sweeps when enough runs have been finished.
