sample pool instead of parameter space

[yhl48]

Knowing that the target sample exists in an initial sample pool, I want to select samples from the initial sample pool in each iteration, is it possible to do that with emukit? The samples are continuous, but rather than defining a bound I would like to provide a list of the samples. Thanks.

Hi! Categorical and bandit parameters come to mind. Defining the list of samples as one of these is the closest Emukit could probably do out of the box. Would that work for you?

Hi, is the documentation for bandit available?

We don't have examples for it yet. There are a few tests that might help you understand the API a bit. Bandit was kindly implemented by @ekalosak , so I am tagging Eric here in case he has built something with emukit and bandits that can be shared.
