Conditional parameter clauses cause an error in fANOVA

[ecemsogancioglu]

Hello,

I am using fANOVA with the data generated by pySMAC 0.9.

param.pcs file is as in the following:

neurons3 integer [10, 200] [11]
neurons2 integer [10, 200] [11]
num_layers {1,2,3}[1]
neurons2 | num_layers in {2,3}
neurons3 | num_layers in {3}

When I run fANOVA, I get the following error:

SLF4J: Failed to load class "org.slf4j.impl.StaticLoggerBinder". SLF4J: Defaulting to no-operation (NOP) logger implementation SLF4J: See http://www.slf4j.org/codes.html#StaticLoggerBinder for further details. ca.ubc.cs.beta.aeatk.parameterconfigurationspace.ParameterConfigurationStringFormatException: Error processing Parameter Configuration String "0.007853403141361256,0.007853403141361256,0.007853403141361256,0.16666666666666666" in format: ARRAY_STRING_SYNTAX please check the arguments (and nested exception) and try again at ca.ubc.cs.beta.aeatk.parameterconfigurationspace.ParameterConfigurationSpace.getParameterConfigurationFromString(ParameterConfigurationSpace.java:1500) at ca.ubc.cs.beta.aeatk.parameterconfigurationspace.ParameterConfigurationSpace.getParameterConfigurationFromString(ParameterConfigurationSpace.java:1313) at ca.ubc.cs.beta.aeatk.state.legacy.LegacyStateDeserializer.<init>(LegacyStateDeserializer.java:258) at ca.ubc.cs.beta.aeatk.state.legacy.LegacyStateFactory.getStateDeserializer(LegacyStateFactory.java:129) at net.aeatk.fanova.FAnovaExecutor.main(FAnovaExecutor.java:91) Caused by: java.lang.IndexOutOfBoundsException: Index: -1, Size: 3 at java.util.LinkedList.checkElementIndex(LinkedList.java:553) at java.util.LinkedList.get(LinkedList.java:474) at ca.ubc.cs.beta.aeatk.parameterconfigurationspace.ParameterConfiguration.get(ParameterConfiguration.java:222) at ca.ubc.cs.beta.aeatk.parameterconfigurationspace.ParameterConfiguration._getActiveParameters(ParameterConfiguration.java:1005) at ca.ubc.cs.beta.aeatk.parameterconfigurationspace.ParameterConfiguration.cleanUp(ParameterConfiguration.java:908) at ca.ubc.cs.beta.aeatk.parameterconfigurationspace.ParameterConfiguration.getActiveParameters(ParameterConfiguration.java:948) at ca.ubc.cs.beta.aeatk.parameterconfigurationspace.ParameterConfigurationSpace.getParameterConfigurationFromString(ParameterConfigurationSpace.java:1472) ... 4 more Traceback (most recent call last): File "fanova_results.py", line 9, in <module> f = Fanova("Desktop/JapVowel/out/scenario/state-run0") File "build/bdist.macosx-10.12-x86_64/egg/pyfanova/fanova.py", line 97, in __init__ RuntimeError: Failed starting fanova. Did you start it from a SMAC state-run directory?

What I observed is that caused by conditional parameter clauses in param.pcs file. If I delete the lines where conditional parameter clauses are declared as in the following in param.pcs file, I do not get any error.

neurons3 integer [10, 200] [11]
neurons2 integer [10, 200] [11]
num_layers {1,2,3}[1]

Could you help me through that? Is it safe to delete conditional parameter clauses?

Thank you for your helps!

Hi,

Is there anybody who knows the solution to that issue? Should I delete those lines where conditional parameter clauses defined in param.pcs file?

Thank you so much!
