Description
In many cases it may be useful to monitor the evolution process as it happens. As the complete algorithms provide no callback while running, a reasonable entry point is the logbook. The user can create a custom
Logbookclass that processes statistics as they are recorded (e.g., writing to a tensorboard writer).This PR suggests that algorithms accept an optional
logbookparameter that the user can instantiate. When not provided, the behaviour remains the same.
