Sacred
Every experiment is sacred
Description:
Sacred is a tool to configure, organize, log and reproduce computational experiments. It is designed to introduce only minimal overhead, while encouraging modularity and configurability of experiments. The ability to conveniently make experiments configurable is at the heart of Sacred. If the parameters of an experiment are exposed in this way, it will help you to: keep track of all the parameters of your experiment easily run your experiment for different settings save configurations for individual runs in files or a database reproduce your results In Sacred we achieve this through the following main mechanisms: Config Scopes are functions with a @ex.config decorator, that turn all local variables into configuration entries. This helps to set up your configuration really easily. Those entries can then be used in captured functions via dependency injection. That way the system takes care of passing parameters around for you, which makes using your config values really easy. The command-line interface can be used to change the parameters, which makes it really easy to run your experiment with modified parameters. Observers log every information about your experiment and the configuration you used, and saves them for example to a Database. This helps to keep track of all your experiments. Automatic seeding helps controlling the randomness in your experiments, such that they stay reproducible.
