Lets assume we configured a simple CNN classifier and want to do hyperparameter search.

[...]It's possible to override the experiment configuration at training time by providing a JSON structure to the train command via the --overrides argument. For example, to increase the number of filters of our CNN to 200, we use the following command:
$ allennlp train <parameter file> \
--overrides {"model.text_encoder.num_filters": 200}At this point, it looks quite straight forward. The only thing missing is a search strategy (e.g. grid search or random search) to generate the parameter configurations to be evaluated, which than can be used to override the desired parameters at training time.
Unfortunately, it's not that easy because there are some dependencies between confuration parameters. For example, if we change the number of filters used in our CNN, we must also change the input_dim of our classifier_feedforward as the output dimension of our CNN is now num_filters * len(ngram_filter_sizes) = 800.
Fortunately, Jsonnet provides some nice features around variable substitution. We introduce a local variable classifier_input_dim, which we can use to resolve the dependency between input_dim, num_filters, and ngram_filter_sizes.
[...]
local classifier_input_dim = $["model"].text_encoder.num_filters * std.length($["model"].text_encoder.ngram_filter_sizes);

"num_layers": 2,
"hidden_dims": [200, 2],

}
}
[...]Though this seems better, it still doesn't allow us to dynamically configure the parameters, because the local variable classifier_input_dim is evaluated when the Jsonnet file is loaded and only then the configuration parameter override happens. Therefore classifier_input_dim is evaluated with the default parameters for num_filters, and ngram_filter_sizes.
Luckily, with Jsonnet we can define the configuration to be a function, taking some arguments with default values and returning a JSON. This has two advantages: the configuration can be used as usual with the allennlp train command but most importantly Jsonnet supports the concept of so called top-level arguments that can be used to parameterize the configuration. This is exactly what tuna does, it combines the functionality of Jsonnet with Ray TUNE to provide scalable hyperparameter search for AllenNLP.
