Optuna ( 10.7)
GitHub Link: Link
Optuna is an automatic optimization framework
uses efficient search algorithms like Bayesian
optimization and pruning techniques to find optimal
solutions for a wide range of problems.

Beyond hyperparameter tuning, it can be used for


complex multi-objective and constrained
optimization tasks, making it suitable for
applications in operational research, resource
allocation, and scientific experimentation where
optimal configurations are critical.

Project Link: LINK
Hyperopt is an optimization library that leverages
algorithms like Random Search and Tree-structured
Parzen Estimators (TPE) for efficient exploration of
large search spaces.

Although commonly used for hyperparameter


tuning, it’s equally effective for broader
optimization tasks, including resource scheduling,
parameter selection in engineering, and other
applications where gradient-free optimization is
advantageous.

embedding optimization layers within deep learning
models in frameworks like PyTorch and TensorFlow,
enabling gradient-based optimization within neural
networks.

This makes it particularly useful for tasks that require


solving an optimization problem as part of the
model’s forward pass, such as structured prediction
or control tasks.

Algorithms (GA) that is useful for solving
optimization problems where traditional gradient-
based approaches are insufficient, particularly for
combinatorial or discrete optimization.

It supports a range of genetic operations like


selection, crossover, and mutation, making it highly
customizable for evolving solutions in applications
such as feature selection.
