ChaCha for Online AutoML

2021 International Conference on Machine Learning (ICML 2021) |

We propose the ChaCha (Champion-Challengers) algorithm for making an online choice of hyperparameters in online learning settings. ChaCha handles the process of determining a champion and scheduling a set of `live’ challengers over time based on sample complexity bounds. It is guaranteed to have sublinear regret after the optimal configuration is added into consideration by an application-dependent oracle based on the champions. Empirically, we show that ChaCha provides good performance across a wide array of datasets when optimizing over featurization and hyperparameter decisions.

FLAML: A Fast Library for AutoML and Tuning

décembre 15, 2020

FLAML is a Python library designed to automatically produce accurate machine learning models with low computational cost. It frees users from selecting learners and hyperparameters for each learner. FLAML is powered by a new, cost-effective hyperparameter optimization and learner selection method invented by Microsoft Research.
