1Measurement precision
If conventional methods are used for tuning hyper-parameters, then manual fine-tuning can achieve acceptable performance, but computational resource usage increases significantly and time consumption increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system employs a recurrent neural network that automatically learns to predict optimal hyper-parameters through self-service mechanisms. The RNN processes sequences of hyper-parameter settings and their corresponding performance measures, automatically adjusting its internal parameters to minimize manual intervention while maximizing performance quality prediction accuracy
Solution Approach 2:
The system implements feedback loops where performance measures from training processes are fed back into the recurrent neural network.
