sklearn-deap
Use evolutionary algorithms instead of gridsearch in scikit-learn. This allows you to reduce the time required to find the best parameters for your estimator. Instead of trying out every possible combination of parameters, evolve only the combinations that give the best results.
Here is an ipython notebook comparing EvolutionaryAlgorithmSearchCV against GridSearchCV and RandomizedSearchCV.
It's implemented using deap library: https://github.com/deap/deap
Install
To install the library use pip:
pip install sklearn-deap
or clone the repo and just type the following on your shell:
python setup.py install
Usage examples
Example of usage:
import sklearn.datasets
import numpy as np
import random
data = sklearn.datasets.load_digits()
X = data["data"]
y = data["target"]
from sklearn.svm import SVC
from sklearn.model_selection import StratifiedKFold
paramgrid = {"kernel": ["rbf"],
"C" : np.logspace(-9, 9, num=25, base=10),
"gamma" : np.logspace(-9, 9, num=25, base=10)}
random.seed(1)
from evolutionary_search import EvolutionaryAlgorithmSearchCV
cv = EvolutionaryAlgorithmSearchCV(estimator=SVC(),
params=paramgrid,
scoring="accuracy",
cv=StratifiedKFold(n_splits=4),
verbose=1,
population_size=50,
gene_mutation_prob=0.10,
gene_crossover_prob=0.5,
tournament_size=3,
generations_number=5,
n_jobs=4)
cv.fit(X, y)
Output:
Types [1, 2, 2] and maxint [0, 24, 24] detected

Example for maximizing just some function:
from evolutionary_search import maximize
def func(x, y, m=1., z=False):
return m * (np.exp(-(x**2 + y**2)) + float(z))
param_grid = {'x': [-1., 0., 1.], 'y': [-1., 0., 1.], 'z': [True, False]}
args = {'m': 1.}
best_params, best_score, score_results, _, _ = maximize(func, param_grid, args, verbose=False)
Output:
best_params = {'x': 0.0, 'y': 0.0, 'z': True}
best_score = 2.0
score_results = (({'x': 1.0, 'y': -1.0, 'z': True}, 1.1353352832366128),
({'x': -1.0, 'y': 1.0, 'z': True}, 1.3678794411714423),
