Concatenate user defined name and generated by Orion

[dmitriy-serdyuk]

As in (or similar syntax)

--model-name~model_'trial.has_name'

[tsirif]

Current regex will parse out the model_'trial.hash_name'. Perhaps adding another one like [A-Za-z_]*'(.*)' will do the job. However I am not sure how easy it will be now to disentagle the possible cases that come after marker ~.

@dmitriy-serdyuk Can you describe a case where this feature is going to be useful or convenient? Why is it needed?

[dmitriy-serdyuk]

I want to give my experiment a human-readable name. I could use this name to generate pretty plots, for example. But I still need different names to save checkpoints separately for each model.

Maybe you can provide a function cat("model_", trial.hash_name) or an operator "model_" + trial.hash_name? I don't know much about internals of Orion, but it seems that it is a mini language already with functions and variables.

I would rather use templates. Something like --model-name model_{trial.has_name}. We shouldn't need the ~ sign other than for dimensions.

@tsirif If you agree with the solution using templates we could close this issue.

[tsirif]

Yes I agree!
