Plug a surrogate discipline in a Scenario#

In this section we describe the usage of surrogate model in GEMSEO, which is implemented in the SurrogateDiscipline class.

A SurrogateDiscipline can be used to substitute a Discipline within a Scenario. This SurrogateDiscipline is an evaluation of the Discipline and is faster to compute than the original discipline. It relies on a BaseRegressor. This comes at the price of computing a DOE on the original Discipline, and validating the approximation. The computations from which the approximation is built can be available, or can be built using GEMSEO' DOE capabilities. See Tutorial: How to carry out a trade-off study and Tutorial: How to solve an MDO problem.

In GEMSEO's, the data used to build the surrogate model is taken from a Dataset containing both inputs and outputs of the DOE. This Dataset may have been generated by GEMSEO from a cache, using the BaseFullCache.to_dataset() method, from a database, using the OptimizationProblem.to_dataset() method, or from a NumPy array or a text file using the Dataset.from_array() and Dataset.from_txt().

Then, the surrogate discipline can be used as any other discipline in a MDOScenario, a DOEScenario, or a BaseMDA.

Create a surrogate discipline#

Create the learning dataset#

If you already have available data from a DOE produced externally, it is possible to create a Dataset and Step 1 ends here. For example, let us consider a synthetic dataset, with \(x\) as input and \(y\) as output, described as a numpy array. Then, we store these data in a Dataset:

variables = ["x", "y"]
sizes = {"x": 1, "y": 1}
groups = {"x": "inputs", "y": "outputs"}
data = vstack((
    hstack((array([1.0]), array([1.0]))),
    hstack((array([2.0]), array([2.0]))),
))
synthetic_dataset = IODataset.from_array(data, variables, sizes, groups)

If you do not have available data,the following paragraphs of Step 1 concern you.

Here, we illustrate the generation of the training data using a DOEScenario, similarly to Tutorial: How to carry out a trade-off study, where more details are given.

In this basic example, an Discipline computing the mission performance (range) in the SSBJ test case is sampled with a DOEScenario. Then, the generated database is used to build a SurrogateDiscipline.

But more complex scenarios can be used in the same way: complete optimization processes or MDAs can be replaced by their surrogate counterparts. The right cache or database shall then be used to build the SurrogateDiscipline, but the main logic won't differ from this example.

Firstly, we create the Discipline by means of the API function create_discipline():

discipline = create_discipline("SobieskiMission")

Then, we read the DesignSpace of the Sobieski problem and keep only the inputs of the Sobieski Mission "x_shared", "y_24", "y_34" as inputs of the DOE:

design_space = SobieskiDesignSpace()
design_space = design_space.filter(["x_shared", "y_24", "y_34"])

From this Discipline and this DesignSpace, we build a DOEScenario by means of the API function create_scenario():

scenario = create_scenario(
    [discipline],
    "y_4",
    design_space,
    formulation_name="DisciplinaryOpt",
    scenario_type="DOE",
)

Lastly, we execute the process with the LHS algorithm and 30 samples.

scenario.execute(algo_name="PYDOE_LHS", n_samples=30)
mission_dataset = scenario.to_dataset(opt_naming=False)

In this tutorial, the DOE is based on pyDOE, however, several other designs are available, based on the package or OpenTURNS. Some examples of these designs are plotted in DOE algorithms. To list the available DOE algorithms in the current GEMSEO configuration, use gemseo.get_available_doe_algorithms().

Create the SurrogateDiscipline#

From this Dataset, we can build a SurrogateDiscipline of the Discipline.

Indeed, by means of the API function create_surrogate, we create the SurrogateDiscipline from the dataset, which can be executed as any other discipline.

Precisely, by means of the API function create_surrogate(), we create a SurrogateDiscipline relying on a LinearRegressor and inheriting from Discipline:

synthetic_surrogate = create_surrogate("LinearRegressor", synthetic_dataset)

See also

Note that a subset of the inputs and outputs to be used to build the SurrogateDiscipline may be specified by the user if needed, mainly to avoid unnecessary computations.

Then, we execute it as any Discipline:

input_data = {"x": array([2.0])}
out = synthetic_surrogate.execute(input_data)
out["y"]
array([2.])

In our study case, from the DOE built at Step 1, we build a RBFRegressor of \(y_4\) representing the range in function of L/D:

range_surrogate = create_surrogate("RBFRegressor", mission_dataset)

Use the SurrogateDiscipline in MDO#

The obtained SurrogateDiscipline can be used in any Scenario, such as a DOEScenario or MDOScenario. We see here that the Discipline.execute() method can be used as in any other discipline to compute the outputs for given inputs:

for i in range(5):
    lod = i * 2.0
    y_4_pred = range_surrogate.execute({"y_24": array([lod])})["y_4"]
    print(f"Surrogate range (L/D = {lod}) = {y_4_pred}")
Surrogate range (L/D = 0.0) = [-97.86844673]
Surrogate range (L/D = 2.0) = [184.60105962]
Surrogate range (L/D = 4.0) = [505.37518268]
Surrogate range (L/D = 6.0) = [840.33241658]
Surrogate range (L/D = 8.0) = [1161.49215263]

And we can build and execute an optimization scenario from it. The design variables are "y_24". The Jacobian matrix is computed by finite differences by default for surrogates, except for the SurrogateDiscipline relying on LinearRegressor which has an analytical (and constant) Jacobian.

design_space = design_space.filter(["y_24"])
scenario = create_scenario(
    range_surrogate,
    "y_4",

Available surrogate models#

Currently, the following surrogate models are available:

To understand the detailed behavior of the models, please go to the documentation of the used packages.

Extending surrogate models --------------------------

All surrogate models work the same way: the BaseRegressor base class shall be extended. See Extend GEMSEO features to learn how to run GEMSEO with external Python modules. Then, the RegressorFactory can build the new BaseRegressor automatically from its regression algorithm name and options. This factory is called by the constructor of SurrogateDiscipline.

See also

More generally, GEMSEO provides extension mechanisms to integrate external :DOE and optimization algorithms, disciplines, MDAs and surrogate models.
