An effective algorithm for hyperparameter optimization of neural networks

no code implementations23 May 2017 Gonzalo Diaz, Achille Fokoue, Giacomo Nannicini, Horst Samulowitz

This paper addresses the problem of choosing appropriate parameters for the NN by formulating it as a box-constrained mathematical optimization problem, and applying a derivative-free optimization tool that automatically and effectively searches the parameter space.
