Machine learning algorithms are very sensitive to the hyperparameters, and their evaluations are generally expensive. Users desperately need intelligent methods to quickly optimize hyperparameter settings according to known evaluation…

Modern deep learning methods are very sensitive to many hyperparameters, and, due to the long training times of state-of-the-art models, vanilla Bayesian hyperparameter optimization is typically computationally infeasible. On the other…

Hyperparameter optimization (HPO) is an important step in machine learning (ML) model development, but common practices are archaic -- primarily relying on manual or grid searches. This is partly because adopting advanced HPO algorithms…

Machine learning algorithms frequently require careful tuning of model hyperparameters, regularization terms, and optimization parameters. Unfortunately, this tuning is often a "black art" that requires expert experience, unwritten rules of…

Approximate Bayesian Computation (ABC) methods have become essential tools for performing inference when likelihood functions are intractable or computationally prohibitive. However, their scalability remains a major challenge in…

Machine learning techniques applied to software engineering tasks can be improved by hyperparameter optimization, i.e., automatic tools that find good settings for a learner's control parameters. We show that such hyperparameter…

To mitigate the pain of manually tuning hyperparameters of deep neural networks, automated machine learning (AutoML) methods have been developed to search for an optimal set of hyperparameters in large combinatorial search spaces. However,…

Nowadays, we are immersed in tens of newly-proposed evolutionary and swam-intelligence metaheuristics, which makes it very difficult to choose a proper one to be applied on a specific optimization problem at hand. On the other hand, most of…

In robotics, methods and softwares usually require optimizations of hyperparameters in order to be efficient for specific tasks, for instance industrial bin-picking from homogeneous heaps of different objects. We present a developmental…

Despite all the benefits of automated hyperparameter optimization (HPO), most modern HPO algorithms are black-boxes themselves. This makes it difficult to understand the decision process which leads to the selected configuration, reduces…

Deploying machine learning models requires high model quality and needs to comply with application constraints. That motivates hyperparameter optimization (HPO) to tune model configurations under deployment constraints. The constraints…

Modern supervised machine learning algorithms involve hyperparameters that have to be set before running them. Options for setting hyperparameters are default values from the software package, manual configuration by the user or configuring…

Evolutionary Algorithms (EAs) are being routinely applied for a variety of optimization tasks, and real-parameter optimization in the presence of constraints is one such important area. During constrained optimization EAs often create…
