Random ====== Random is the mandatory "floor" baseline: it assigns each candidate a uniform random score, completely ignoring the surrogate's predictions (mean or uncertainty). Any acquisition strategy that does not clearly beat Random is not adding value over blind selection, which is why every acquisition-strategy comparison should include it. Scores are drawn from a per-round RNG seeded by ``(seed, round)``, so results are reproducible for a given seed while decorrelating across rounds. .. automodule:: alf_tools.optimizer.acquisition_functions.random_acquisition :members: :show-inheritance: :undoc-members:
