culebra.trainer.abc module

Abstract base classes for different trainers.

This module provides several abstract classes for different kind of trainers.

Regarding the number of species that are simultaneously being trained:

• SingleSpeciesTrainer: Provides a base class for trainers for solutions of only a single species

• MultiSpeciesTrainer: Provides a base class for trainers that find solutions for multiple species

Trainers can also be distributed. The DistributedTrainer class provides a base support to distribute a trainer making use a several subtrainers. Two implementations of this class are also provided:

• SequentialDistributedTrainer: Abstract base class for sequential distributed trainers

• ParallelDistributedTrainer: Abstract base class for parallel distributed trainers

Finally, some usual distributed approaches are also provided:

• IslandsTrainer: Abstract base class for island-based approaches

• CooperativeTrainer: Abstract base class for cooperative trainers
