Experiment initialization parameters

In the tutorial materials, we provide the following sample init.yaml file. This section explains each initialization parameter. For further details, consult Required Inputs on the NEXT GitHub wiki.

  • app_id:
    init_yaml_app_id

  • This refers to the built-in algorithm apps provided by NEXT. For a triplet experiment, the app_id is PoolBasedTripletMDS. Other algorithms, such as DuelingBandits, refer to different types of experiments.
  • alg_list:
    init_yaml_alg_list
  • algorithm_management_settings:
    mode:

    init_yaml_mode
  • algorithm_management_settings:
    params:

    init_yaml_params
  • d:
    init_yaml_d
  • num_tries:
    init_yaml_num_tries
  • debrief:
