Dragonfly is an open source python library for scalable Bayesian optimisation.

Bayesian optimisation is used for optimising black-box functions whose evaluations are usually expensive. Beyond vanilla optimisation techniques, Dragonfly provides an array of tools to scale up Bayesian optimisation to expensive large scale problems. These include features/functionality that are especially suited for high dimensional optimisation (optimising for a large number of variables), parallel evaluations in synchronous or asynchronous settings (conducting multiple evaluations in parallel), multi-fidelity optimisation (using cheap approximations to speed up the optimisation process), and multi-objective optimisation (optimising multiple functions simultaneously).

Dragonfly is compatible with Python2 (>= 2.7) and Python3 (>= 3.5) and has been tested on Linux, macOS, and Windows platforms.
