Hi
What is the best way to tune a mixture of continuous and discrete hyper parameters for a cost function? For example in a neural network, the number of layers is discrete but the learning rate is continuous, but in the python wrapper I can see a continuous-only and a discrete-only optimizer.
Best,
-Safoora

Hi,
Currently BayesOpt does not support joint continuous/discrete. You can
try doing it by hand by rounding or some other heuristic.
