Replace `hyperopt` #1232

Open alecandido opened 6 months ago

alecandido commented 6 months ago

After https://github.com/qiboteam/qibo/issues/1231#issuecomment-1968367678 I reviewed the state of hyperopt, and it's definitely unmaintained. The authors are not replying to the issues, and the contributions to the code are practically stuck.

If we care about the features supported by hyperopt, it should be replaced soon.

@MatteoRobbiati I'm not sure how this relates to qiboml. It is only used in DBI.

andrea-pasquale commented 6 months ago

There were already some discussions about including hyperopt as a dependency or not... I think it should be easy to eventually move to optuna which seems to be more maintained.

MatteoRobbiati commented 6 months ago

Yes, moving to optuna is a good idea.

alecandido commented 6 months ago

Indeed, I was having a look as well, and optuna seems much more reliable!

renatomello commented 6 months ago

Since this is related to DBI: some the DBI tests are very slow right now. Could this be improved as well?
