Autoth: Automatic optimzie hyper parameters

Autoth is a Python toolbox to automatically optimize hyper parameters to maximize scores. For example, Autoth can optimize hyper parameters to maximize F1 score in a classification task. In practice, Autoth numerically calculate gradients of scores over hyper parameters. Then, the hyper parameters are updated according to the gradients iteratively. Please see [1] for details.

Install

pip install autoth

Example

python3 example.py
