You can adapt this file completely to your liking, but it should at least contain the root `toctree` directive. .. _limbo_doc: Limbo's documentation ================================= Limbo is a lightweight framework for Bayesian Optimization, a powerful approach for global optimization of expensive, non-convex functions. Github page (to report issues and/or help us to improve the library): `[Github repository] `_ The development of Limbo is funded by the `ERC project ResiBots `_. Limbo shares many ideas with `Sferes2 `_, a similar framework for evolutionary computation. Main features -------------- - Implementation of the classic algorithms (Bayesian optimization, many kernels, likelihood maximization, etc.) - Modern C++-11 - Generic framework (template-based / policy-based design), which allows for easy customization, to test novel ideas - Experimental framework that allows user to easily test variants of experiments, compare treatments, submit jobs to clusters (OAR scheduler), etc. - High performance (in particular, Limbo can exploit multicore computers via Intel TBB and vectorize some operations via Eigen3) - Purposely small to be easily maintained and quickly understood Contents: ----------- .. toctree:: :hidden: :caption: Limbo (BO library) .. toctree:: :maxdepth: 2 self tutorials/index guides/index api bo defaults reg_benchmarks bo_benchmarks faq ..
