Scikit-Optimize

Scikit-Optimize 0.10.2 is an open-source Python library for sequential model-based optimization. It is designed to optimize expensive, noisy, and black-box functions efficiently using Bayesian optimization techniques.

The solution supports common machine learning and optimization workflows including hyperparameter tuning, Bayesian optimization, model selection, and function minimization. It is ideal for data science, artificial intelligence, machine learning experiments, and optimization-based development use cases.

Features of Scikit-Optimize:

• Python library for sequential model-based optimization.
• Supports Bayesian optimization for expensive black-box functions.
• Provides tools for hyperparameter tuning in machine learning models.
• Built on NumPy, SciPy, and Scikit-Learn.
• Includes optimization methods such as gp_minimize, forest_minimize, and BayesSearchCV.
• Suitable for AI, ML, data science, and research workloads.

Usage instructions for Scikit-Optimize
$ sudo su
$ apt update -y
$ apt install -y python3 python3-pip python3-venv build-essential
$ cd /opt
$ python3 -m venv skopt-env
$ source /opt/skopt-env/bin/activate
$ pip install --upgrade pip setuptools wheel
$ pip install --upgrade scikit-optimize
$ python -c "import skopt; print(skopt.__version__)"

Expected version output:
0.10.2

Testing Scikit-Optimize installation
$ cat > /opt/test-skopt.py <<'PY'
import skopt
from skopt import gp_minimize

def objective(x):
    return (x[0] - 2) ** 2 + (x[1] + 3) ** 2

result = gp_minimize(objective, [(-5.0, 5.0), (-5.0, 5.0)], n_calls=20, random_state=42)

print("Scikit-Optimize version:", skopt.__version__)
print("Best score:", result.fun)
print("Best parameters:", result.x)
PY
$ python /opt/test-skopt.py

If the command prints the Scikit-Optimize version, best score, and best parameters, the installation is working successfully.
