Experiments page

List of all experiments launched by the team, sorted in chronological order. Each card contains information about the experiment name, when the experiment was created, total runtime of the experiment, and the best fitness found by the Hive. You can also add tags or notes to the experiment to help organize them.
Experiments can have the following statuses: Once an experiment has been selected, it opens up a window with additional details about the experiment, split into the following four tabs.

​
Overview

The overview provides a high-level summary of the experiment’s progress.
This overview includes the status of the experiment with some additional information about the experiment state, charts summarizing the progress of the experiment, and the configuration file used to launch the experiment.

​
Results

The results tab is an interactive workspace for exploring how the Hive evolves code over time. The evolution chart plots fitness across iterations — each point corresponds to one iteration of the Hive.
The best-over-time iterations are shown in dark blue. When you click on a point, the full lineage leading up to that point is highlighted in green. The code view on the left indicates in red/green the code changes associated with that full lineage. When clicking a point within the highlighted lineage, the code view shows the diff associated with that particular iteration only (i.e. the diff vs its parent).
Click again on that point to alternate between diff vs parent and diff vs initial version. The Evolution History panel also displays that lineage. Click a row to expand it and see a text summary for that iteration. Drag the range icons to the left of the lineage in order to show the diff over a desired range of iterations. Above the file tree, the icon can be selected to show only files which have been modified by the Hive. Above the code, there are a few controls:
  • Split diff — show the two versions side by side.
  • Unified diff — show additions and removals interleaved in a single column.
  • Full file — show the file whole at the selected point / end of diff range.
  • Hide chart — hides the evolution chart on the right to have more room to view the code.
Above the evolution chart, there are several controls:
  • Download point data — download the metadata of every point in the experiment (evaluations, descriptions and lineage), optionally with the evolved file contents.
  • Download — download a zip of the repo at the currently selected point / end of diff range.
  • Show full range — expand viewable range to show all points (by default the y-axis is clipped to show only points better than the initial point).
  • Show all points — shows all points (by default, only points which are best-over-time and their ancestors are shown).
  • Maximize — view the chart in full screen.
  • Legend — colour key and shortcuts info.
For multi-objective experiments, click the y-axis label to choose which fitness to display. Clicking the “Evolution” title switches to a view of the Pareto frontier found by the Hive.

​
Iterations

A searchable, filterable table listing every iteration with its status, duration, and timestamp. Useful for auditing specific runs or debugging failed experiments.
On the left is a window which groups together similar error messages to aid in debugging. Selecting a specific iteration will show more details about the iteration, including the timeline of actions performed.

​
Logs

Logs associated with the experiment. There are three categories of logs:
  • Setup: Output of the setup script specified in sandbox.setup_script in the configuration YAML.
  • User: Any output of the evaluator. You can view any outpout which you print in your evaluator script here to aid in debugging.
  • System: Logs emitted by the Hive.
Logs are emitted by two sources:
  • Coordinator: Logs emitted by the Hive itself.
  • Sandbox: Logs emitted by the sandboxes where the evaluators are run. By default, only logs for a single sandbox are shown. You can show logs of other sandboxes or every sandbox by clicking the dropdown.

Insights

The home page shows a summary of your team’s experiment activity. Use the time range selector (e.g., 7 days, 1 month, 3 months) to adjust the window at which the data is shown for.
