The number of mentions indicates the total number of mentions that we've tracked plus the number of user suggested alternatives.
Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

botorch VS SMT - a user suggested alternative
2 projects | 6 Dec 2023
- BoTorch – Bayesian Optimization in PyTorch
-
[D] Uncertainty estimation with calibration set (with MC Dropout)
The true answer for this is modelling the problem bayesian in the first place using, for example, https://botorch.org/ and https://gpytorch.ai/.

Bayesian Optimization Book
Yes, I'm using a binary outcome, since that's what I get from playing a game. To get probabilities I'd have to play a lot of games with the same settings/features/point and take the mean, but it seems that defeats the point of Bayesian optimization finding the best point to evaluate for each iteration.
The SPSA method seems to work quite well with binary outcomes. This is what I was trying to beat. Unfortunately I was never able to converge faster than SPSA (or even close to that) even increasing the number of samples.
I got some feedback form the botorch team back then: https://github.com/pytorch/botorch/issues/347#:~:text=thomas...
