generate_evaluation_specification(self) inherited

Get next configuration and settings to evaluate.

Exceptions:

Type	Description
OptimizationComplete	When the optimization run is finished, e.g. when the budget has been exhausted.
OptimizerNotReady	When the optimizer is not ready to propose a new evaluation specification.

report(self, evaluations) inherited

Report one or multiple evaluations to the optimizer.

All valid evaluations are processed. Faulty evaluations are not processed, instead an EvaluationsError is raised, which includes the problematic evaluations with their respective Exceptions in the evaluations_with_errors attribute.

Parameters:

Name	Type	Description	Default
evaluations	Union[blackboxopt.evaluation.Evaluation, Iterable[blackboxopt.evaluation.Evaluation]]	A single evaluated evaluation specifications, or an iterable	required

Exceptions:

Type	Description
EvaluationsError	Raised when an evaluation could not be processed.
