Dr. Ulrich Bodenhofer Linz, 12, 2010 For Gabi Acknowledgments This thesis would not have been possible without the support of a number of people. First and foremost I want to thank my adviser Dr. Michael A®enzeller, who has not only become my mentor but also a close friend in the years since I ¯rst started my forays into the area of evolutionary computation. Furthermore, I would like to express my gratitude to my second adviser Dr. Ulrich Bodenhofer for introducing me to the statistical elements of machine learning and en- couraging me to critically scrutinize modeling results. I am also thankful to Prof. Dr. Witold Jacak, dean of the School of Informatics, Communications and Media in Hagenberg of the Upper Austria University of Applied Sciences, for giving me the opportunity to work at the research center Hagenberg and allowing me to work on this thesis. I thank all members of the research group for heuristic and evolutionary algorithms (HEAL). Andreas Beham, for implementing standard variants of heuristic algorithms in HeuristicLab. Michael Kommenda, for discussing extensions and improvements of symbolic regression for practical applications, some of which are described in this thesis. Dr. Stefan Wagner, for tirelessly improving HeuristicLab, which has been used as the software environment for all experiments presented in this thesis. -
Bayesian Neural Architecture Search Using a Training-Free Performance Metric
Bayesian Neural Architecture Search using A Training-Free Performance Metric Andr´esCamerob,a,∗, Hao Wangc, Enrique Albaa, Thomas B¨ackc aUniversidad de M´alaga,ITIS Software, Espa~na bGermanAerospace Center (DLR), Remote Sensing Technology Institute (IMF), Germany cLeiden University, LIACS, The Netherlands Abstract Recurrent neural networks (RNNs) are a powerful approach for time se- ries prediction. However, their performance is strongly affected by their architecture and hyperparameter settings. The architecture optimization of RNNs is a time-consuming task, where the search space is typically a mixture of real, integer and categorical values. To allow for shrinking and expanding the size of the network, the representation of architectures often has a variable length. In this paper, we propose to tackle the architecture optimization problem with a variant of the Bayesian Optimization (BO) algorithm. To reduce the evaluation time of candidate architectures the Mean Absolute Error Random Sampling (MRS), a training-free method to estimate the network performance, is adopted as the objective function for BO. Also, we propose three fixed-length encoding schemes to cope with the variable-length architecture representation. The result is a new perspective on accurate and efficient design of RNNs, that we validate on three problems. Our findings show that 1) the BO algorithm can explore different network architectures using the proposed encoding schemes and successfully designs well-performing architectures, and 2) the optimization time is significantly -
