Hi,

I am trying to tune hyper parameter with Ray tune and AxSearch “AX Example — Ray 2.4.0”. But I am encountering this error:

(train pid=13418) Validation loss has not improved for 0 epochs, stopping training.
2023-05-24 16:21:07,084	ERROR trial_runner.py:671 -- Trial train_a6d842ff: Error stopping trial.

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

ValueError: Raw data must be data for a single arm for non batched trials.

What is the issue here? Any help is appreciated…

Hi @Sraboni_Akhy,

Seems like this is the same issue listed here: TypeError: type of val must be one of (Dict[str, Union[float, numpy.floating, numpy.integer, Tuple[Union[float.. · Issue #35764 · ray-project/ray · GitHub

I will look into this issue this week. At the moment it seems like some version compatibility mismatch between Ax and another package.

Okay. Thank you very much… Looking forward to it…
