keras-tuner 1.4.5

A Hyperparameter Tuning Library for Keras

KerasTuner

KerasTuner is an easy-to-use, scalable hyperparameter optimization framework that solves the pain points of hyperparameter search. Easily configure your search space with a define-by-run syntax, then leverage one of the available search algorithms to find the best hyperparameter values for your models. KerasTuner comes with Bayesian Optimization, Hyperband, and Random Search algorithms built-in, and is also designed to be easy for researchers to extend in order to experiment with new search algorithms.

Installation

KerasTuner requires Python 3.8+ and TensorFlow 2.0+.

Install the latest release:

pip install keras-tuner

Quick introduction

Import KerasTuner and TensorFlow:

import keras_tuner
from tensorflow import keras

Write a function that creates and returns a Keras model. Use the hp argument to define the hyperparameters during model creation.

def build_model(hp):
  model = keras.Sequential()
  model.add(keras.layers.Dense(
      hp.Choice('units', [8, 16, 32]),
      activation='relu'))
  model.add(keras.layers.Dense(1, activation='relu'))
  model.compile(loss='mse')
  return model

Initialize a tuner (here, RandomSearch). We use objective to specify the objective to select the best models, and we use max_trials to specify the number of different models to try.

tuner = keras_tuner.RandomSearch(
    build_model,
    objective='val_loss',
    max_trials=5)

Start the search and get the best model:

tuner.search(x_train, y_train, epochs=5, validation_data=(x_val, y_val))
best_model = tuner.get_best_models()[0]
