Description

enhancement

I believe that Configuration Space does not allow for online updates during its utilization. That would be very helpful, for example, in the case of Search Space Shrinking, or online control over optimization algorithms.

Concretely, it would be useful to allow:

  1. Dynamically adapting the bounds of a hyperparameter
  2. Dynamically adapting the distributions of hyperparameters

There might be other dynamic adaptations.
