*Optuna* is an automatic hyperparameter optimization software framework, particularly designed
for machine learning. It features an imperative, *define-by-run* style user API. Thanks to our
*define-by-run* API, the code written with Optuna enjoys high modularity, and the user of
Optuna can dynamically construct the search spaces for the hyperparameters.
## Key Features
Optuna has modern functionalities as follows:
- Parallel distributed optimization
- Pruning of unpromising trials
- Lightweight, versatile, and platform agnostic architecture
## Basic Concepts
We use the terms *study* and *trial* as follows:
- Study: optimization based on an objective function
- Trial: a single execution of the objective function
Please refer to sample code below. The goal of a *study* is to find out the optimal set of
hyperparameter values (e.g., `classifier` and `svm_c`) through multiple *trials* (e.g.,
`n_trials=100`). Optuna is a framework designed for the automation and the acceleration of the
optimization *studies*.

```python
import ...
# Define an objective function to be minimized.
def objective(trial):
# Invoke suggest methods of a Trial object to generate hyperparameters.
regressor_name = trial.suggest_categorical('classifier', ['SVR', 'RandomForest'])
if regressor_name == 'SVR':
svr_c = trial.suggest_loguniform('svr_c', 1e-10, 1e10)
regressor_obj = sklearn.svm.SVR(C=svr_c)
else:
rf_max_depth = trial.suggest_int('rf_max_depth', 2, 32)
regressor_obj = sklearn.ensemble.RandomForestRegressor(max_depth=rf_max_depth)
X, y = sklearn.datasets.load_boston(return_X_y=True)
X_train, X_val, y_train, y_val = sklearn.model_selection.train_test_split(X, y, random_state=0)
regressor_obj.fit(X_train, y_train)
y_pred = regressor_obj.predict(X_val)
error = sklearn.metrics.mean_squared_error(y_val, y_pred)
return error # A objective value linked with the Trial object.
study = optuna.create_study() # Create a new study.
study.optimize(objective, n_trials=100) # Invoke optimization of the objective function.
```
