Edit

Dupe of ray's issue - https://github.com/ray-project/ray/issues/45720 Perhaps it's nice you know of it - if not feel free to close but the tutorial will still be outdated.

Problem

https://ax.dev/versions/0.1.9/tutorials/raytune_pytorch_cnn.html fails, the function's create_experiment signature does not match on the ray's side. It seems that create_experiment used to take objective_name but now takes objectives

I downloaded the source code from the link above (I will past it below). It does it not work since the ray.tune.suggest does not exist so I changed it to ray.tune.search I also deleted the tracking piece of code ray.tune.track.

Traceback

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/bartek/Projects/GNN-planning-paper/zzzz.py", line 55, in <module>
    ax.create_experiment(
TypeError: AxClient.create_experiment() got an unexpected keyword argument 'objective_name'

# # Ax Service API with RayTune on PyTorch CNN
# 
# Ax integrates easily with different scheduling frameworks and distributed training frameworks. In this example, Ax-driven optimization is executed in a distributed fashion using [RayTune](https://ray.readthedocs.io/en/latest/tune.html). 
# 
# RayTune is a scalable framework for hyperparameter tuning that provides many state-of-the-art hyperparameter tuning algorithms and seamlessly scales from laptop to distributed cluster with fault tolerance. RayTune leverages [Ray](https://ray.readthedocs.io/)'s Actor API to provide asynchronous parallel and distributed execution.
# 
# Ray 'Actors' are a simple and clean abstraction for replicating your Python classes across multiple workers and nodes. Each hyperparameter evaluation is asynchronously executed on a separate Ray actor and reports intermediate training progress back to RayTune. Upon reporting, RayTune then uses this information to performs actions such as early termination, re-prioritization, or checkpointing.

# ## 1. Initialize client
# We specify `enforce_sequential_optimization` as False, because Ray runs many trials in parallel. With the sequential optimization enforcement, `AxClient` would expect the first few trials to be completed with data before generating more trials.
# 
# When high parallelism is not required, it is best to enforce sequential optimization, as it allows for achieving optimal results in fewer (but sequential) trials. In cases where parallelism is important, such as with distributed training using Ray, we choose to forego minimizing resource utilization and run more trials in parallel.

# In[3]:

ax = AxClient(enforce_sequential_optimization=False)

# ## 2. Set up experiment
# Here we set up the search space and specify the objective; refer to the Ax API tutorials for more detail.

# In[4]:

ax.create_experiment(
    name="mnist_experiment",
    parameters=[
        {"name": "lr", "type": "range", "bounds": [1e-6, 0.4], "log_scale": True},
        {"name": "momentum", "type": "range", "bounds": [0.0, 1.0]},
    ],
    objective_name="mean_accuracy",
)

# ## 3. Define how to evaluate trials
# Since we use the Ax Service API here, we evaluate the parameterizations that Ax suggests, using RayTune. The evaluation function follows its usual pattern, taking in a parameterization and outputting an objective value. For detail on evaluation functions, see [Trial Evaluation](https://ax.dev/docs/runner.html). 

# In[5]:

def train_evaluate(parameterization):
    device = torch.device('cuda' if torch.cuda.is_available() else 'cpu')
    train_loader, valid_loader, test_loader = load_mnist(data_path='~/.data')
    net = train(train_loader=train_loader, parameters=parameterization, dtype=torch.float, device=device)

# ## 4. Run optimization
# Execute the Ax optimization and trial evaluation in RayTune using [AxSearch algorithm](https://ray.readthedocs.io/en/latest/tune-searchalg.html#ax-search):

# In[6]:

tune.run(
    train_evaluate, 
    num_samples=30, 
    search_alg=AxSearch(ax),  # Note that the argument here is the `AxClient`.
    verbose=0,  # Set this level to 1 to see status updates and to 2 to also see trial results.
    # To use GPU, specify: resources_per_trial={"gpu": 1}.
)

# ## 5. Retrieve the optimization results

# In[7]:

best_parameters, values = ax.get_best_parameters()
best_parameters

# In[8]:

means, covariances = values
means

# ## 6. Plot the response surface and optimization trace

# In[9]:

render(
    plot_contour(
        model=ax.generation_strategy.model, param_x='lr', param_y='momentum', metric_name='mean_accuracy'
    )
)

# In[10]:

# `plot_single_method` expects a 2-d array of means, because it expects to average means from multiple 
# optimization runs, so we wrap out best objectives array in another array.
best_objectives = np.array([[trial.objective_mean * 100 for trial in ax.experiment.trials.values()]])

    y=np.maximum.accumulate(best_objectives, axis=1),
    title="Model performance vs. # of iterations",
    ylabel="Accuracy",
