## L-BFGS Gradient Optimizer (v2.4)
|
||||
|
||||
### Overview
|
||||
|
||||
The **L-BFGS Gradient Optimizer** exploits the differentiability of trained MLP surrogates to achieve **100-1000x faster convergence** compared to derivative-free methods like TPE or CMA-ES.
|
||||
|
||||
**Key insight**: Your trained MLP is fully differentiable. L-BFGS computes exact gradients via backpropagation, enabling precise local optimization.
|
||||
|
||||
### When to Use
|
||||
|
||||
| Scenario | Use L-BFGS? |
|
||||
|----------|-------------|
|
||||
| After turbo mode identifies promising regions | ✓ Yes |
|
||||
| To polish top 10-20 candidates before FEA | ✓ Yes |
|
||||
| For initial exploration (cold start) | ✗ No - use TPE/grid first |
|
||||
| Multi-modal problems (many local minima) | Use multi-start L-BFGS |
|
||||
|
||||
### Quick Start
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# CLI usage
|
||||
python -m optimization_engine.gradient_optimizer studies/my_study --n-starts 20
|
||||
|
||||
# Or per-study script
|
||||
cd studies/M1_Mirror/m1_mirror_adaptive_V14
|
||||
python run_lbfgs_polish.py --n-starts 20
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Python API
|
||||
|
||||
```python
|
||||
from optimization_engine.gradient_optimizer import GradientOptimizer, run_lbfgs_polish
|
||||
from optimization_engine.generic_surrogate import GenericSurrogate
|
||||
|
||||
# Method 1: Quick run from study directory
|
||||
results = run_lbfgs_polish(
|
||||
study_dir="studies/my_study",
|
||||
n_starts=20, # Starting points
|
||||
use_top_fea=True, # Use top FEA results as starts
|
||||
n_iterations=100 # L-BFGS iterations per start
|
||||
)
|
||||
|
||||
# Method 2: Full control
|
||||
surrogate = GenericSurrogate(config)
|
||||
surrogate.load("surrogate_best.pt")
|
||||
|
||||
optimizer = GradientOptimizer(
|
||||
surrogate=surrogate,
|
||||
objective_weights=[5.0, 5.0, 1.0], # From config
|
||||
objective_directions=['minimize', 'minimize', 'minimize']
|
||||
)
|
||||
|
||||
# Multi-start optimization
|
||||
result = optimizer.optimize(
|
||||
starting_points=top_candidates, # List of param dicts
|
||||
n_random_restarts=10, # Additional random starts
|
||||
method='lbfgs', # 'lbfgs', 'adam', or 'sgd'
|
||||
n_iterations=100
|
||||
)
|
||||
|
||||
# Access results
|
||||
print(f"Best WS: {result.weighted_sum}")
|
||||
print(f"Params: {result.params}")
|
||||
print(f"Improvement: {result.improvement}")
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Hybrid Grid + Gradient Mode
|
||||
|
||||
For problems with multiple local minima:
|
||||
|
||||
```python
|
||||
results = optimizer.grid_search_then_gradient(
|
||||
n_grid_samples=500, # Random exploration
|
||||
n_top_for_gradient=20, # Top candidates to polish
|
||||
n_iterations=100 # L-BFGS iterations
|
||||
)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Integration with Turbo Mode
|
||||
|
||||
**Recommended workflow**:
|
||||
```
|
||||
1. FEA Exploration (50-100 trials) → Train initial surrogate
|
||||
2. Turbo Mode (5000 NN trials) → Find promising regions
|
||||
3. L-BFGS Polish (20 starts) → Precise local optima ← NEW
|
||||
4. FEA Validation (top 3-5) → Verify best designs
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Output
|
||||
|
||||
Results saved to `3_results/lbfgs_results.json`:
|
||||
```json
|
||||
{
|
||||
"results": [
|
||||
{
|
||||
"params": {"rib_thickness": 10.42, ...},
|
||||
"objectives": {"wfe_40_20": 5.12, ...},
|
||||
"weighted_sum": 172.34,
|
||||
"converged": true,
|
||||
"improvement": 8.45
|
||||
}
|
||||
]
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Performance Comparison
|
||||
|
||||
| Method | Evaluations to Converge | Time |
|
||||
|--------|------------------------|------|
|
||||
| TPE | 200-500 | 30 min (surrogate) |
|
||||
| CMA-ES | 100-300 | 15 min (surrogate) |
|
||||
| **L-BFGS** | **20-50** | **<1 sec** |
|
||||
|
||||
### Key Classes
|
||||
|
||||
| Class | Purpose |
|
||||
|-------|---------|
|
||||
| `GradientOptimizer` | Main optimizer with L-BFGS/Adam/SGD |
|
||||
| `OptimizationResult` | Result container with params, objectives, convergence info |
|
||||
| `run_lbfgs_polish()` | Convenience function for study-level usage |
|
||||
| `MultiStartLBFGS` | Simplified multi-start interface |
|
||||
|
||||
### Implementation Details
|
||||
|
||||
- **Bounds handling**: Projected gradient (clamp to bounds after each step)
|
||||
- **Normalization**: Inherits from surrogate (design_mean/std, obj_mean/std)
|
||||
- **Convergence**: Gradient norm < tolerance (default 1e-7)
|
||||
- **Line search**: Strong Wolfe conditions for L-BFGS
