garage.tf.optimizers.penalty_lbfgs_optimizer

Penalized Limited-memory BFGS (L-BFGS) optimizer.

class PenaltyLbfgsOptimizer(max_opt_itr=20, initial_penalty=1.0, min_penalty=0.01, max_penalty=1000000.0, increase_penalty_factor=2, decrease_penalty_factor=0.5, max_penalty_itr=10, adapt_penalty=True)

Penalized Limited-memory BFGS (L-BFGS) optimizer.

Performs constrained optimization via penalized L-BFGS. The penalty term is adaptively adjusted to make sure that the constraint is satisfied.

Parameters:
  • max_opt_itr (int) – Maximum iteration for update.
  • initial_penalty (float) – Initial penalty.
  • min_penalty (float) – Minimum penalty allowed. Penalty will be clipped if lower than this value.
  • max_penalty (float) – Maximum penalty allowed. Penalty will be clipped if higher than this value.
  • increase_penalty_factor (float) – Factor to increase penalty in each penalty iteration.
  • decrease_penalty_factor (float) – Factor to decrease penalty in each penalty iteration.
  • max_penalty_itr (int) – Maximum penalty iterations to perform.
  • adapt_penalty (bool) – Whether the penalty is adaptive or not. If false, penalty will not change.
update_opt(self, loss, target, leq_constraint, inputs, constraint_name='constraint', name='PenaltyLbfgsOptimizer', **kwargs)

Construct operation graph for the optimizer.

Parameters:
  • loss (tf.Tensor) – Loss objective to minimize.
  • target (object) – Target object to optimize. The object should implemenet get_params() and get_param_values.
  • leq_constraint (tuple) – It contains a tf.Tensor and a float value. The tf.Tensor represents the constraint term, and the float value is the constraint value.
  • inputs (list[tf.Tensor]) – List of input placeholders.
  • constraint_name (str) – Constraint name for logging.
  • name (str) – Name scope.
  • kwargs (dict) – Extra unused keyword arguments. Some optimizers have extra input, e.g. KL constraint.
loss(self, inputs)

The loss.

Parameters:inputs (list[numpy.ndarray]) – List of input values.
Returns:Loss.
Return type:float
Raises:Exception – If loss function is None, i.e. not defined.
constraint_val(self, inputs)

The constraint value.

Parameters:inputs (list[numpy.ndarray]) – List of input values.
Returns:Constraint value.
Return type:float
Raises:Exception – If loss function is None, i.e. not defined.
optimize(self, inputs, name='optimize')

Perform optimization.

Parameters:
  • inputs (list[numpy.ndarray]) – List of input values.
  • name (str) – Name scope.
Raises:

Exception – If loss function is None, i.e. not defined.
