DeepHyper: Scalable Asynchronous Neural Architecture and Hyperparameter Search for Deep Neural Networks

What is DeepHyper?

DeepHyper is an automated machine learning (AutoML) package for deep neural networks. It comprises two components: 1) Neural architecture search is an approach for automatically searching for high-performing the deep neural network search_space. 2) Hyperparameter search is an approach for automatically searching for high-performing hyperparameters for a given deep neural network. DeepHyper provides an infrastructure that targets experimental research in neural architecture and hyperparameter search methods, scalability, and portability across HPC systems. It comprises three modules: benchmarks, a collection of extensible and diverse benchmark problems; search, a set of search algorithms for neural architecture search and hyperparameter search; and evaluators, a common interface for evaluating hyperparameter configurations on HPC platforms.

Directory search_space

benchmark/
    a set of problems for hyperparameter or neural architecture search which the user can use to compare our different search algorithms or as examples to build their own problems.
evaluator/
    a set of objects which help to run search on different systems and for different cases such as quick and light experiments or long and heavy runs.
search/
    a set of algorithms for hyperparameter and neural architecture search. You will also find a modular way to define new search algorithms and specific sub modules for hyperparameter or neural architecture search.

        hyperparameter search applications
nas/
        neural architecture search applications
