ultralytics.utils.tuner.run_ray_tune(model, space=None, grace_period=10, gpu_per_trial=None, max_samples=10, **train_args)

Runs hyperparameter tuning using Ray Tune.

Parameters:

Name Type Description Default
model YOLO

Model to run the tuner on.

required
space dict

The hyperparameter search space. Defaults to None.

None
grace_period int

The grace period in epochs of the ASHA scheduler. Defaults to 10.

10
gpu_per_trial int

The number of GPUs to allocate per trial. Defaults to None.

None
max_samples int

The maximum number of trials to run. Defaults to 10.

10
train_args dict

Additional arguments to pass to the train() method. Defaults to {}.

{}

Returns:

Type Description
dict

A dictionary containing the results of the hyperparameter search.

Example
from ultralytics import YOLO

# Load a YOLOv8n model
model = YOLO('yolov8n.pt')

# Start tuning hyperparameters for YOLOv8n training on the COCO8 dataset
result_grid = model.tune(data='coco8.yaml', use_ray=True)
