🚀

💡 Pro tip: This is one of those techniques that will make you look like a data science wizard! Introduction to Hyperparameter Tuning - Made Simple!

Hyperparameter tuning is the process of optimizing the configuration of a deep learning model to improve its performance. It involves adjusting various settings that control the learning process, such as learning rate, batch size, and network architecture.

Don’t worry, this is easier than it looks! Here’s how we can tackle this:

import tensorflow as tf
from keras.models import Sequential
from keras.layers import Dense

model = Sequential([
    Dense(64, activation='relu', input_shape=(10,)),
    Dense(32, activation='relu'),
    Dense(1, activation='sigmoid')
])

model.compile(optimizer='adam', loss='binary_crossentropy', metrics=['accuracy'])

🎉 You’re doing great! This concept might seem tricky at first, but you’ve got this! Learning Rate Optimization - Made Simple!

The learning rate determines the step size during gradient descent. Finding the best learning rate is super important for model convergence and performance.

Here’s a handy trick you’ll love! Here’s how we can tackle this:

from keras.callbacks import LearningRateScheduler

def lr_schedule(epoch):
    return 0.001 * (0.1 ** int(epoch / 10))

model.fit(X_train, y_train, epochs=50, callbacks=[LearningRateScheduler(lr_schedule)])

🚀

✨ Cool fact: Many professional data scientists use this exact approach in their daily work! Batch Size Tuning - Made Simple!

Batch size affects both the model’s learning dynamics and computational efficiency. Smaller batch sizes can lead to more frequent updates, while larger ones can provide more stable gradients.

Here’s where it gets exciting! Here’s how we can tackle this:

batch_sizes = [32, 64, 128, 256]
for batch_size in batch_sizes:
    history = model.fit(X_train, y_train, epochs=10, batch_size=batch_size, validation_split=0.2)
    print(f"Batch size: {batch_size}, Validation accuracy: {history.history['val_accuracy'][-1]}")

🚀

🔥 Level up: Once you master this, you’ll be solving problems like a pro! Dropout Regularization - Made Simple!

Dropout is a regularization technique that prevents overfitting by randomly setting a fraction of input units to 0 during training.

This next part is really neat! Here’s how we can tackle this:

from keras.layers import Dropout

model = Sequential([
    Dense(64, activation='relu', input_shape=(10,)),
    Dropout(0.5),
    Dense(32, activation='relu'),
    Dropout(0.3),
    Dense(1, activation='sigmoid')
])

🚀 L1 and L2 Regularization - Made Simple!

L1 and L2 regularization add penalties to the loss function based on the model’s weights, encouraging simpler models and preventing overfitting.

Here’s a handy trick you’ll love! Here’s how we can tackle this:

from keras.regularizers import l1, l2, l1_l2

model = Sequential([
    Dense(64, activation='relu', kernel_regularizer=l1(0.01), input_shape=(10,)),
    Dense(32, activation='relu', kernel_regularizer=l2(0.01)),
    Dense(1, activation='sigmoid', kernel_regularizer=l1_l2(l1=0.01, l2=0.01))
])

🚀 Early Stopping - Made Simple!

Early stopping prevents overfitting by halting training when the validation loss stops improving.

Don’t worry, this is easier than it looks! Here’s how we can tackle this:

from keras.callbacks import EarlyStopping

early_stopping = EarlyStopping(monitor='val_loss', patience=5, restore_best_weights=True)
model.fit(X_train, y_train, epochs=100, validation_split=0.2, callbacks=[early_stopping])

🚀 Grid Search for Hyperparameter Tuning - Made Simple!

Grid search exhaustively searches through a predefined set of hyperparameters to find the best combination.

Let’s break this down together! Here’s how we can tackle this:

from sklearn.model_selection import GridSearchCV
from keras.wrappers.scikit_learn import KerasClassifier

def create_model(units=64, dropout_rate=0.5):
    model = Sequential([
        Dense(units, activation='relu', input_shape=(10,)),
        Dropout(dropout_rate),
        Dense(1, activation='sigmoid')
    ])
    model.compile(optimizer='adam', loss='binary_crossentropy', metrics=['accuracy'])
    return model

model = KerasClassifier(build_fn=create_model)
param_grid = {'units': [32, 64, 128], 'dropout_rate': [0.3, 0.5, 0.7]}
grid = GridSearchCV(estimator=model, param_grid=param_grid, cv=3)
grid_result = grid.fit(X_train, y_train)

🚀 Random Search for Hyperparameter Tuning - Made Simple!

Random search samples hyperparameters from defined distributions, often finding good configurations more smartly than grid search.

Let’s break this down together! Here’s how we can tackle this:

from sklearn.model_selection import RandomizedSearchCV
from scipy.stats import uniform, randint

param_distributions = {
    'units': randint(32, 256),
    'dropout_rate': uniform(0.1, 0.5),
    'batch_size': randint(16, 128),
    'epochs': randint(10, 100)
}

random_search = RandomizedSearchCV(estimator=model, param_distributions=param_distributions, n_iter=20, cv=3)
random_search_result = random_search.fit(X_train, y_train)

🚀 Bayesian Optimization - Made Simple!

Bayesian optimization uses probabilistic models to guide the search for best hyperparameters, balancing exploration and exploitation.

This next part is really neat! Here’s how we can tackle this:

from skopt import BayesSearchCV
from skopt.space import Real, Integer

search_spaces = {
    'units': Integer(32, 256),
    'dropout_rate': Real(0.1, 0.5),
    'batch_size': Integer(16, 128),
    'epochs': Integer(10, 100)
}

bayes_search = BayesSearchCV(estimator=model, search_spaces=search_spaces, n_iter=20, cv=3)
bayes_search_result = bayes_search.fit(X_train, y_train)

🚀 Cross-Validation for Hyperparameter Tuning - Made Simple!

Cross-validation helps assess the model’s performance across different data splits, providing a more reliable estimate of hyperparameter effectiveness.

Here’s where it gets exciting! Here’s how we can tackle this:

from sklearn.model_selection import cross_val_score

def create_model(units=64, dropout_rate=0.5):
    model = Sequential([
        Dense(units, activation='relu', input_shape=(10,)),
        Dropout(dropout_rate),
        Dense(1, activation='sigmoid')
    ])
    model.compile(optimizer='adam', loss='binary_crossentropy', metrics=['accuracy'])
    return model

model = KerasClassifier(build_fn=create_model)
scores = cross_val_score(model, X, y, cv=5)
print(f"Mean accuracy: {scores.mean()}, Standard deviation: {scores.std()}")

🚀 Learning Rate Scheduler - Made Simple!

A learning rate scheduler dynamically adjusts the learning rate during training, potentially improving convergence and final performance.

Let’s break this down together! Here’s how we can tackle this:

from keras.callbacks import LearningRateScheduler
import math

def step_decay(epoch):
    initial_lr = 0.1
    drop = 0.5
    epochs_drop = 10.0
    lr = initial_lr * math.pow(drop, math.floor((1 + epoch) / epochs_drop))
    return lr

lr_scheduler = LearningRateScheduler(step_decay)
model.fit(X_train, y_train, epochs=50, callbacks=[lr_scheduler])

def build_model(hp):
    model = Sequential()
    model.add(Dense(units=hp.Int('units', min_value=32, max_value=512, step=32),
                    activation='relu', input_shape=(10,)))
    model.add(Dropout(hp.Float('dropout', min_value=0.0, max_value=0.5, step=0.1)))
    model.add(Dense(1, activation='sigmoid'))
    model.compile(optimizer=Adam(hp.Float('learning_rate', min_value=1e-4, max_value=1e-2, sampling='log')),
                  loss='binary_crossentropy', metrics=['accuracy'])
    return model

tuner = kt.Hyperband(build_model, objective='val_accuracy', max_epochs=50, factor=3, directory='my_dir', project_name='intro_to_kt')
tuner.search(X_train, y_train, epochs=50, validation_split=0.2)
best_model = tuner.get_best_models(num_models=1)[0]

Model checkpointing saves the best model during training, ensuring you retain the best weights even if training continues past the best point.

Ready for some cool stuff? Here’s how we can tackle this:

from keras.callbacks import ModelCheckpoint

checkpoint = ModelCheckpoint('best_model.h5', monitor='val_loss', save_best_only=True, mode='min')
model.fit(X_train, y_train, epochs=100, validation_split=0.2, callbacks=[checkpoint])

# Load the best model
best_model = load_model('best_model.h5')
