How to extract hyper parameters during Bayesian optimization
显示 更早的评论
Hi all,
I am new to using the bayesopt Matlab function and I was trying to test it on a toy problem.
I realize that bayesopt uses the "ardmatern52" Kernel function, which allows different length scales for multiple hyperparameters, and I wanted to have access to estimates of hyper parameters produced by the Bayesian Optimization function. In my understanding, these estimates are produced after evals by the fitrgp function; however, it seems that they somehow get lost and become unaccessible when a call to bayesopt is made. Any idea on how to access these estimates at the end of a Bayesian Optimization?
Currently working with R2016b
Thanks,
Fab

There are many hidden properties in the BayesianOptimization object that is returned by bayesopt. One of them is ObjectiveFcnGP, which is the last Gaussian Process model that was fit to the observed function evaluation data. Here's an example of how to get the kernel parameters from that model (using R2018b):
Run bayesopt:
load ionosphere
rng default
num = optimizableVariable('n',[1,30],'Type','integer');
dst = optimizableVariable('dst',{'chebychev','euclidean','minkowski'},'Type','categorical');
c = cvpartition(351,'Kfold',5);
fun = @(x)kfoldLoss(fitcknn(X,Y,'CVPartition',c,'NumNeighbors',x.n,...
'Distance',char(x.dst),'NSMethod','exhaustive'));
results = bayesopt(fun,[num,dst],'Verbose',0,...
'AcquisitionFunctionName','expected-improvement-plus')
Get the final GP model:
gp = results.ObjectiveFcnGP
Get the kernel parameters from that:
gp.KernelInformation % look at kernel information
kparams = gp.KernelInformation.KernelParameters
You can see all the properties (hidden, private or otherwise) by doing this:
s = struct(results)
Then you can access what you want.

You could use the 'OutputFcn' argument https://www.mathworks.com/help/stats/bayesopt.html?searchHighlight=bayesopt&s_tid=doc_srchtitle#bvamxpu-OutputFcn
This is a function handle, and it is called after every iteration. Its argument is the BayesianOptimization object at that iteration. You could, for example, have it append to a global variable each time it is called.

Hi all,
it seems that in matlab R2020b the variable 'results.ObjectiveFcnGP' is not present after the execution of the script. Besides, in the function BayesianOptimization.m, all the lines related to the Gaussian Process are commented. Does the function bayesopt still use a Gaussian Process to model the blackbox function?

Try results.ObjectiveFcnModel.Model
