Solution Overview

Problem

Existing hyperparameter tuning methods for machine learning models, such as deep learning models, require manual adjustments or use inconvenient hyperparameter configuration programs, necessitating direct code writing, which is inefficient and language-dependent.

Innovation Solution

A hyperparameter configuration device that sets hyperparameter values based on parameter description data input through a command-line interface, allowing users to search for suitable hyperparameters without writing program code, and employs methods like Bayesian optimization and early stopping to optimize hyperparameters efficiently.

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs partial search by evaluating only the most promising hyperparameter configurations identified through objective function guidance and early stopping criteria, rather than exhaustively testing all possible combinations, thus achieving good optimization results with reduced computational effort

Inventive Principle:

Solution Approach 2:

The system uses feedback from trial results and objective function evaluations to guide the hyperparameter search process, continuously refining the search direction based on performance metrics to efficiently converge on optimal hyperparameters without exhaustive testing

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

AI summary

A hyperparameter configuration device includes at least one memory, and at least one processor configured to acquire a program execution instruction including parameter description data, the program execution instruction being written through a command-line interface, set a value of a hyperparameter of a program to be trialed, based on the parameter description data, acquire a result of a trial of the program, the trial of the program being executed with the value of the hyperparameter, and set a next value of the hyperparameter of the program, based on the result of the trial.
