scipy.optimize.differential_evolution 评估要最小化的函数多少次？

Question

我正在尝试将this answer 应用于我的代码以显示scipy.optimize.differential_evolution 方法的进度条。

我认为differential_evolution 会评估func（被称为最小化的函数）popsize * maxiter 次，但显然情况并非如此。

下面的代码应该显示一个增加到100%的进度条：

[####################] 100% 

但实际上，这会一直持续下去，因为 DEdist() 函数的评估次数比 popsize * maxiter（我将其用作 updt() 函数的 total 参数）要多得多。

如何计算differential_evolution 执行的函数评估的总数？这能做到吗？

from scipy.optimize import differential_evolution as DE
import sys


popsize, maxiter = 10, 50


def updt(total, progress, extra=""):
    """
    Displays or updates a console progress bar.

    Original source: https://stackoverflow.com/a/15860757/1391441
    """
    barLength, status = 20, ""
    progress = float(progress) / float(total)
    if progress >= 1.:
        progress, status = 1, "\r\n"
    block = int(round(barLength * progress))
    text = "\r[{}] {:.0f}% {}{}".format(
        "#" * block + "-" * (barLength - block),
        round(progress * 100, 0), extra, status)
    sys.stdout.write(text)
    sys.stdout.flush()


def DEdist(model, info):
    updt(popsize * maxiter, info['Nfeval'] + 1)
    info['Nfeval'] += 1

    res = (1. - model[0])**2 + 100.0 * (model[1] - model[0]**2)**2 + \
        (1. - model[1])**2 + 100.0 * (model[2] - model[1]**2)**2

    return res


bounds = [[0., 10.], [0., 10.], [0., 10.], [0., 10.]]
result = DE(
    DEdist, bounds, popsize=popsize, maxiter=maxiter,
    args=({'Nfeval': 0},))

Answer 1

来自help(scipy.optimize.differential_evolution)：

maxiter : int, optional
    The maximum number of generations over which the entire population is
    evolved. The maximum number of function evaluations (with no polishing)
    is: ``(maxiter + 1) * popsize * len(x)``

默认也是polish=True：

polish : bool, optional
    If True (default), then `scipy.optimize.minimize` with the `L-BFGS-B`
    method is used to polish the best population member at the end, which
    can improve the minimization slightly.

所以你需要改变两件事：

1 在这里使用正确的公式：

updt(popsize * (maxiter + 1) * len(model), info['Nfeval'] + 1)

2 传递polish=False 参数：

result = DE(
    DEdist, bounds, popsize=popsize, maxiter=maxiter, polish=False,
    args=({'Nfeval': 0},))

之后，您会看到进度条在达到 100% 时完全停止。
