Title
Deep Neural Network Hyper-Parameter Tuning Through Twofold Genetic Approach
Abstract
In this paper, traditional and meta-heuristic approaches for optimizing deep neural networks (DNN) have been surveyed, and a genetic algorithm (GA)-based approach involving two optimization phases for hyper-parameter discovery and optimal data subset determination has been proposed. The first phase aims to quickly select an optimal combination of the network hyper-parameters to design a DNN. Compared to the traditional grid-search-based method, the optimal parameters have been computed 6.5 times faster for recurrent neural network (RNN) and 8 times faster for convolutional neural network (CNN). The proposed approach is capable of tuning multiple hyper-parameters simultaneously. The second phase finds an appropriate subset of the training data for near-optimal prediction performance, providing an additional speedup of 75.86% for RNN and 41.12% for CNN over the first phase.
