Automatic vs Manual optimisation in Keras_. day 18

First check automatic – keras tuner – which is explained in our previous post Automated Hyperparameter Tuning in Keras Part 1: Automated Approaches for Hyperparameter Tuning in Keras Hyperparameter tuning is a crucial step in machine learning that involves finding the best set of parameters for your model to optimize its performance. Keras provides a robust toolset for this purpose through its KerasTuner library, which offers several powerful, automated methods to explore the hyperparameter space. In this section, we’ll dive into the different models and approaches available in Keras for automated hyperparameter tuning, updated with the latest in 2024. 1. Random Search Random search is one of the simplest and most straightforward hyperparameter tuning methods. It works by randomly sampling hyperparameter combinations from the predefined search space. Despite its simplicity, random search can be surprisingly effective, especially when combined with a well-chosen search space. It’s often used as a baseline method due to its ease of implementation and ability to explore diverse regions of the hyperparameter space. tuner = kt.RandomSearch( build_model, objective='val_accuracy', max_trials=10, executions_per_trial=2, directory='random_search_dir', project_name='random_search' ) tuner.search(x_train, y_train, epochs=5, validation_data=(x_val, y_val)) Here, max_trials defines the number of different hyperparameter combinations to try, while executions_per_trial allows for multiple runs to...

Hyperparameter Tuning with Keras Tuner _ Day 17

A Comprehensive Guide to Hyperparameter Tuning with Keras Tuner Introduction In the world of machine learning, the performance of your model can heavily depend on the choice of hyperparameters. Hyperparameter tuning, the process of finding the optimal settings for these parameters, can be time-consuming and complex. This guide will walk you through the essentials of hyperparameter tuning using Keras Tuner, helping you build more efficient and effective models. Why Hyperparameter Tuning Matters Hyperparameters are critical settings that can influence the performance of your machine learning models. These include the learning rate, the number of layers in a neural network, the number of neurons per layer, and many more. Finding the right combination of these settings can dramatically improve your model’s accuracy and efficiency. Introducing Keras Tuner Keras Tuner is an open-source library that provides a streamlined approach to hyperparameter tuning for Keras models. It supports various search algorithms, including random search, Hyperband, and Bayesian optimization. This tool not only saves time but also ensures a systematic exploration of the hyperparameter space. Step-by-Step Guide to Using Keras Tuner 1. Define Your Model with Hyperparameters Begin by defining a model-building function that includes hyperparameters: import keras_tuner as kt import tensorflow as tf...
