Hello, I'm trying to use Autofolio for a project on an ASlib scenario. I ran the example ASlib scenario, and information about what appears to be different models gets printed to the console. However, I cannot find a resource that explains how to use this information or what the recommended model should be. Could I get some information about this? Thank you, Austin

Hi Austin,

It's not clear to me what you try to do or what is missing in the readme. Please provide a minimal code example.

Best, Marius

PS: Do you do your project with Lars? If yes, I would have guessed that he should be able to help you directly.

Yes, and I did have a look at the output, and it also wasn't clear to me. You can probably get all this information from the logs, but for a novice user who doesn't know where to look to get e.g. information on the best configuration it seems that the output can be improved.

Hence the issue -- to make AutoFolio more friendly for novice users.

Are you looking for a better output or an python API? I would guess it will be the latter, right? All main functions are actually bundled in https://github.com/mlindauer/AutoFolio/blob/master/autofolio/autofolio.py

If are looking for some special output, I would still recommend to look into this file, since it would also allow you to define your own output if you need some special information.

Thank you for the information. The data I was using was just the included examples and titled asp-aslib. I will use the API to try and address where I was confused.
