  2. INTRODUCTION y = f ( x ; ~ ✓ )

    A prediction problem with hyper parameters A parameter optimization problem with hyper parameters does affect how parameters are learned ~ ✓ = arg min ~ ✓ ⇥ L(X, Y ; ~ ✓) + ⌦(~ ✓) ⇤ ~ ✓H ~ ✓H ~ ✓H
  3. INTRODUCTION A brief clarification on terminology ~ ✓ Parameters. Controls

    how algorithms make prediction decisions along with Data. Automatically learned during training phase. Hyper Parameters. Affects how algorithms learn parameters. Machine learning algorithms usually don’t automatically learn. ~ ✓H
  4. A NON-COMPREHENSIVE LIST OF HYPER PARAMETERS Bayesian Models Random Forest

    (Deep) Neural Networks • Parameters of prior distributions, … • Number of trees, Number of features for node split, …. Support Vector Machines • Selection of Kernel(and its parameter), Soft-margin parameter, … • Learning rate, Number of hidden units/layers, dropout rate, weight decay, activation functions, …
  5. HOW THEY AFFECT Support Vector Machines (with RBF Kernel on

    iris dataset) IUUQTDJLJUMFBSOPSHTUBCMFBVUP@FYBNQMFTTWNQMPU@SCG@QBSBNFUFSTIUNM K ( x i , x j) = exp ( || x i x j||2) min w 1 2 || w ||2 + C n X i=1 (0 , 1 y (i)( w T x (i) + b ))

  7. HOW THEY AFFECT Deep Neural Nets (2 different cases) IUUQBSYJWPSHQEGQEG

    IUUQBSYJWPSHQEGQEG • Dropout Rate (TIMIT speech recognition benchmark) • Long Short Term Memory (speech, hand written, music data)
  8. HOW CAN WE OPTIMIZE Hyper parameter optimization is difficult •

    Top Kagglers say… I do this very manually IUUQCMPHLBHHMFDPNQSPpMJOHUPQLBHHMFSTLB[BOPWBOFXJOUIFXPSME Mr. Marios Michailidis I mostly tune by hand IUUQCMPHLBHHMFDPNQSPpMJOHUPQLBHHMFSTPXFO[IBOHDVSSFOUMZJOUIFXPSME Mr. Owen Zhang IUUQCMPHLBHHMFDPNQSPpMJOHUPQLBHHMFSTHJMCFSUPUJUFSJD[OFXJOUIFXPSME I often use brute force searching manually based on my past experience Mr. Gilberto Titericz Mr. Lucas Eustaquio Gomes da Silva I look for params used in previous competitions and tweak them one by one until the outcome stops improving IUUQCMPHLBHHMFDPNQSPpMJOHUPQLBHHMFSTMFVTUBHPTDVSSFOUIJHIFTU
  9. A LITTLE PHILOSOPHY DEBATE Hyper parameter optimization, what is it

    after all? • To be fair, these masters also say… I feel I learn more about the algorithms and why they work the way do by doing this manually. At the same time I feel that “I do something, it’s not only the machine!” IUUQCMPHLBHHMFDPNQSPpMJOHUPQLBHHMFSTLB[BOPWBOFXJOUIFXPSME Mr. Marios Michailidis Sometimes I think I should eventually be more disciplined and systematic, using some Bayesian optimizer. However that would take some fun away from the process, I think. IUUQCMPHLBHHMFDPNQSPpMJOHUPQLBHHMFSTPXFO[IBOHDVSSFOUMZJOUIFXPSME Mr. Owen Zhang
  10. ANYWAY IN PRACTICE Complex algorithms • Many hyper parameters to

    tune • Evaluation becomes time consuming It would be important to find good hyper parameters efficiently Large Datasets

    1 ✓H(2) ✓H(1) ~ ✓H⇤ x y ???
  14. COMMON SITUATIONS We don’t know analytic form of F (

    f ( x ; ~ ✓ ); ~ ✓ H ) • No dependency/correlation information of each elements ~ ✓H • No gradient information of ~ ✓H • Unknown underlying distribution over (maybe non-convex) F F can be seen as a function to be optimized • could be noisy and expensive to evaluate F black-box
