Parameters:

Name Type Description Default
monitor ZeusMonitor | None

The monitor instance to use for measuring time and energy. Required if cost_threshold is given.

 None
eta_knob float

The \(0 \le \eta \le 1\) knob for the Zeus time-energy cost. (Default: 0.5)

 0.5
cost_threshold float | None

When running the next epoch will exceed this cost. Only training cost is considered, not validation or testing cost.

 None
max_epochs int | None

Maximum number of epochs to run.

 None
target_metric float | None

Stop training when the metric reaches this value.

 None
higher_is_better bool | None

If True, target_metric is assumed reached when the reported metric is larger than or equal to the target_metric. Required if target_metric is given.
