Enum Searcher 

pub enum Searcher {
    Random,
    Sobol,
    Tpe,
    Cmaes,
    IsotropicEs,
}

Which searcher a run drives.

The three from the M2.3 sampler gate (SamplerKind) plus the two this slice adds: the real Cmaes and the covariance-free ablation (IsotropicEs) its regression sentinel measures against.

Variants

Random

Uniform independent sampling — the baseline, and axis-aligned by definition.

Sobol

The Sobol low-discrepancy sequence — space-filling, and also axis-aligned.

Tpe

The Tree-structured Parzen Estimator: the strong learning baseline, whose densities are per-dimension, so it has no representation of a rotated valley.

Cmaes

The real CMA-ES.

IsotropicEs

CMA-ES with the covariance update deleted (C ≡ I) — the sentinel.

Implementations

impl Searcher

pub const ALL: [Self; 5]

Every searcher, in a fixed order.

pub const fn label(self) -> &'static str

The lowercase label used in reports and assertion messages.

pub const fn models_dimensions_independently(self) -> bool

Whether this searcher models the dimensions independently — i.e. whether its search distribution has no off-diagonal terms.

This is the property the rotated fixture attacks, and it is true for four of the five: uniform random and Sobol draw each coordinate on its own, TPE fits a 1-D Parzen density per dimension, and the ablation’s covariance is the identity by construction. Only Cmaes can represent a valley that runs at an angle to the axes.

Note the ablation is isotropic, not literally axis-preferring — a spherical distribution has no favourite direction at all. What it shares with the other three is the thing that matters here: no way to encode a correlation between two parameters.

pub fn build(self) -> Arc<dyn Sampler>

Builds a fresh sampler of this kind.
