Optim: InexactError: Int64(0.01) 使用 IPNewton 時

Question

我有這段代碼可以使用IPNewton方法（ error.jl ）優化 function：

import Optim

"""
Generate a matrix of constants used in computation
"""
function get_const(x::Vector{Float64}, sigma::Vector{Float64})::Array{Float64, 2}
    exp.(-x'.^2 ./ (2 .* sigma.^2)) ./ (sigma .* sqrt(2 * π))
end

# Log likelihood for mixture model
log_likelihood(p, C::Array{Float64, 2}) = sum(log.(p' * C))

"""
Constraint: all probabilities (ps) must sum to 1
"""
function constraint!(c, ps)::typeof(c)
    c[1] = sum(ps)
    c
end

N = 100
x = range(-1, 1, length=1000) |> collect
sigma = range(0.001, 2, length=N) |> collect

C = get_const(x, sigma)

constraints = Optim.TwiceDifferentiableConstraints(
    constraint!,
    fill(0, N), fill(1, N), # 0 <= (each probability) <= 1
    fill(1, N), fill(1, N)  # 1 <= constraint(p) <= 1 (probabilities sum to 1)
)
p0 = fill(1, N) / N # initial guess == equal probabilities

res = Optim.optimize(
    ps -> -log_likelihood(ps, C), # want to MAXIMIZE, so negate
    constraints, p0,
    Optim.IPNewton()
)

Project.toml ：

[deps]
Optim = "429524aa-4258-5aef-a3af-852621145aeb"

所以... InexactError: Int64(0.01) ？ 它似乎也起源於Optim內部？

我知道這里的InexactError意味着 Julia 無法將0.01轉換為 integer，這是有道理的。 但我不知道0.01是從哪里來的！ 如何查出產地？ 這段代碼有什么問題，可以做些什么來解決這個問題？

---

編輯：我注意到0.01必須是p0 = fill(1, N) / N的一個元素，因為如果我設置N = 50 ，則錯誤變為InexactError: Int64(0.02) ，其中0.02 == 1/N 。 但為什么它試圖將其轉換為 integer？

Answer 1

在仔細查看錯誤消息的這些部分之后：

 [8] copyto! at ./array.jl:347 [inlined]
 [9] finite_difference_jacobian!(::Array{Float64,2}, ::typeof(constraint!), ::Array{Float64,1}, ::FiniteDiff.JacobianCache{Array{Int64,1},Array{Int64,1},Array{Int64,1},UnitRange{Int64},Nothing,Val{:central}(),Int64}, ::Nothing; relstep::Float64, absstep::Float64, colorvec::UnitRange{Int64}, sparsity::Nothing, dir::Bool) at /Users/forcebru/.julia/packages/FiniteDiff/jLwWI/src/jacobians.jl:338
 ...
 [15] optimize(::Function, ::NLSolversBase.TwiceDifferentiableConstraints{typeof(constraint!),NLSolversBase.var"#jac!#126"{typeof(constraint!),FiniteDiff.JacobianCache{Array{Int64,1},Array{Int64,1},Array{Int64,1},UnitRange{Int64},Nothing,Val{:central}(),Int64}},NLSolversBase.var"#con_hess!#130"{Int64,Array{Int64,2},Array{Int64,3},NLSolversBase.var"#jac_vec!#129"{Int64,Int64},FiniteDiff.JacobianCache{Array{Int64,1},Array{Int64,1},Array{Int64,1},UnitRange{Int64},Nothing,Val{:central}(),Int64}},Int64}, ::Array{Float64,1}, ::Optim.IPNewton{typeof(Optim.backtrack_constrained_grad),Symbol}, ::Optim.Options{Float64,Nothing}) at /Users/forcebru/.julia/packages/Optim/D7azp/src/multivariate/optimize/interface.jl:147 (repeats 2 times)
 [16] top-level scope at /Users/forcebru/test/error.jl:27

...我看到約束的FiniteDiff.JacobianCache被推斷為在Int64上進行參數化：

FiniteDiff.JacobianCache{
    Array{Int64,1},
    Array{Int64,1},
    Array{Int64,1},
    UnitRange{Int64},
    Nothing,
    Val{:central}(),
    Int64
}

...這很奇怪，因為我顯然想優化實數。

事實證明，在這部分代碼中：

constraints = Optim.TwiceDifferentiableConstraints(
    constraint!,
    fill(0, N), fill(1, N), # 0 <= (each probability) <= 1
    fill(1, N), fill(1, N)  # 1 <= constraint(p) <= 1 (probabilities sum to 1)
)

fill(0, N)和朋友都是整數，因為0是 integer。 看起來這導致嘗試從浮點轉換為 integer。

我將此代碼更改為：

constraints = Optim.TwiceDifferentiableConstraints(
    constraint!,
    fill(0., N), fill(1., N), # 0 <= (each probability) <= 1
    fill(1., N), fill(1., N)  # 1 <= constraint(p) <= 1 (probabilities sum to 1)
)

...現在沒有錯誤（雖然算法不收斂，但這是一個不同的問題）。
