deephyper 0.1.6

Scalable asynchronous neural architecture and hyperparameter search for deep neural networks.

What is DeepHyper?

DeepHyper is an automated machine learning (AutoML) package for deep neural networks. It comprises two components: 1) Neural architecture search is an approach for automatically searching for high-performing the deep neural network search_space. 2) Hyperparameter search is an approach for automatically searching for high-performing hyperparameters for a given deep neural network. DeepHyper provides an infrastructure that targets experimental research in neural architecture and hyperparameter search methods, scalability, and portability across HPC systems. It comprises three modules: benchmarks, a collection of extensible and diverse benchmark problems; search, a set of search algorithms for neural architecture search and hyperparameter search; and evaluators, a common interface for evaluating hyperparameter configurations on HPC platforms.

Directory search_space

benchmark/
    a set of problems for hyperparameter or neural architecture search which the user can use to compare our different search algorithms or as examples to build their own problems.
evaluator/
    a set of objects which help to run search on different systems and for different cases such as quick and light experiments or long and heavy runs.
search/
    a set of algorithms for hyperparameter and neural architecture search. You will also find a modular way to define new search algorithms and specific sub modules for hyperparameter or neural architecture search.

        hyperparameter search applications
nas/
        neural architecture search applications
