Bayesian Global Optimization

Bayesian Global Optimization: Using Optimal Learning to Deep Learning Models: In this talk we introduce Bayesian Optimization as an efficient way to optimize machine learning model parameters, especially when evaluating different configurations is time-consuming or expensive. Deep learning pipelines are notoriously expensive to train and often have many tunable parameters including hyperparameters, the architecture, feature transformations that can have a large impact on the efficacy of the model. We will motivate the problem by giving several example applications using open source deep learning frameworks and open datasets. We’ll compare the results of Bayesian Optimization to standard techniques like grid search, random search, and expert tuning.
