Nevergrad is a Python library for derivative-free optimization, offering robust implementations of many algorithms suited for black-box functions (i.e. functions where gradients are unavailable or unreliable). It targets hyperparameter search, architecture search, control problems, and experimental tuning—domains in which gradient-based methods may fail or be inapplicable. The library provides an easy interface to define an optimization problem (parameter space, loss function, budget) and...

Fairseq(-py) is a sequence modeling toolkit that allows researchers and developers to train custom models for translation, summarization, language modeling and other text generation tasks. We provide reference implementations of various sequence modeling papers. Recent work by Microsoft and Google has shown that data parallel training can be made significantly more efficient by sharding the model parameters and optimizer state across data parallel workers. These ideas are encapsulated in the...
