Optuna for the Lua language

Optuna is a popular hyperparameter optimization framework in Python. This package is its Lua binding.

Note that this is a prototypical implementation, and it only provide a quite limited functionality of Optuna in Python.

Installation

This package requires optuna because it runs the optuna CLI internally.

$ pip install optuna

It also requires the rxi/json.lua package to parse CLI outputs. Please place json.lua to the project directory, for example, as follows:

$ curl -LO https://raw.githubusercontent.com/rxi/json.lua/master/json.lua

Usage

See quadratic.lua that minimizes a simple quadratic function. Optuna's CLI reference will also help when defining your search spaces and objective functions.
