How can I adjust the parameter overrides from tasks spawned by the hyperparameter optimizer?
My template task has some environment depending parameters that I would like to clear for the newly spawned tasks, as the function that is run for each tasks handles the environment already.
Hey. I should have closed this..
The thing that I was looking for is called set_parameter on the task.
The HPO uses a task I created previously and I had trouble with that, since it contained a path, which wasn't available on the colab instance.
I fixed my code, so it always updates this parameter depending on the environment.
It was less of an HPO issue, more of a programming failure on the function, which didn't properly update the parameter, even though I thought it should.
Hi @<1694157594333024256:profile|DisturbedParrot38> ! If you want to override the parameter, you could add a DiscreteParameterRange to hyper_paramters when calling HyperParameterOptimizer . The DiscreteParameterRange should have just 1 value: the value you want to override the parameter with.
You could try setting the parameter to an empty string in order to mark it as cleared
Back when I wrote this, I thought HPO does something magical for overwriting the general args of the task when cloning.
Turns out it just was my code that was missing a more explicit set_parameter for this environment path.
