Our formulation allows a clear specification of an automatable optimization goal using lexicographic preference over multiple objectives. We then propose a randomized directed search method named LexiFlow to solve this problem. We demonstrate the strong empirical performance of the proposed algorithm in multiple hyperparameter optimization tasks.}, url = {http://approjects.co.za/?big=en-us/research/publication/targeted-hyperparameter-optimization-with-lexicographic-preferences-over-multiple-objectives/}, }
