PyPop7: A Pure-Python Library for Population-Based Black-Box Optimization

ICML 2026poster

In this paper, we present an open-source pure-Python library called PyPop7 for black-box optimization (BBO). As population-based methods (e.g., evolutionary algorithms, swarm intelligence, and pattern search) become increasingly popular for BBO, the design goal of PyPop7 is to provide a unified API …

TuneAhead: Predicting Fine-tuning Performance Before Training Begins

ICML 2026poster

Fine-tuning large language models (LLMs) is compute-intensive and error-prone: model performance depends sensitively on data quality and hyperparameter choices, and naïve runs can even degrade model performance. This raises a fundamental question: Can we predict fine-tuning performance before traini…
