boa.wrapper_utils.load_json#

boa.wrapper_utils.load_json(*args, **kwargs) → dict[source]#

Read experiment configuration file for setting up the optimization. yml file contains the list of parameters, and whether each parameter is a fixed parameter or a range parameter. Fixed parameters have a value specified, and range parameters have a range specified.

Parameters

  • config_file (os.PathLike) – File path for the experiment configuration file

  • normalize (bool) – Whether to run boa.wrapper_utils.normalize_config after loading config to run certain predictable configuration normalization. (default true)

  • parameter_keys (str | list[Union[str, list[str], list[Union[str, int]]]]) – Alternative keys or paths to keys to parse as parameters to optimize, for more information, see wpr_params_to_boa()

Examples

If you have a parameters in your configration like this

>>> from boa import normalize_config
>>> config = {
...     "params": {
...         "a": {"x1": {"bounds": [0, 1], "type": "range"}, "x2": {"type": "fixed", "value": 0.5}},
...         "b": {"x1": {"bounds": [0, 1], "type": "range"}, "x2": {"type": "fixed", "value": 0.5}},
...     },
...     "params2": [
...         {0: {"x1": {"bounds": [0, 1], "type": "range"}, "x2": {"type": "fixed", "value": 0.5}}},
...         {0: {"x1": {"bounds": [0, 1], "type": "range"}, "x2": {"type": "fixed", "value": 0.5}}},
...     ],
...     "params_a": {"x1": {"bounds": [0, 1], "type": "range"}, "x2": {"type": "fixed", "value": 0.5}},
... }
>>> parameter_keys = [
...     ["params", "a"],
...     ["params", "b"],
...     ["params_a"],
...     ["params2", 0, 0],
 ...    ["params2", 1, 0],
... ]
>>> config = normalize_config(config, parameter_keys)
>>> pprint(config["parameters"])
