[Question] Is there a way to configure n_configs of the SMAC's module ?

[simonprovost]

Short Question Description

Would it be feasible to learn how to modify the SMAC's n_configs parameter? So that I wish to investigate additional configurations before the system training the SMAC surrogate model?

I attempted to investigate here first, but configuring the Scenario component of SMAC does not permit it from what I recall, but I may be mistaken. I also attempted to locate n_configs in Auto-Sklearn's GitHub issues, but was unsuccessful.

This is not a particularly urgent request if you have other priorities; I just wanted to tweak this parameter to see how it could commence better the exploration and exploitation's process for a hospital-based use case scenario.

System Details

• Which version of auto-sklearn are you using? Latest
• Are you running this on Linux / Mac / ... ? MacOS Sonoma

Cheers guys! Keep up the fantastic job you guys are doing for the commu! 🫡
