Worker for Example 5 - PyTorch

In this example implements a small CNN in PyTorch to train it on MNIST. The configuration space shows the most common types of hyperparameters and even contains conditional dependencies. In this example implements a small CNN in Keras to train it on MNIST. The configuration space shows the most common types of hyperparameters and even contains conditional dependencies.

We’ll optimise the following hyperparameters:

Parameter Name Parameter type Range/Choices Comment
Learning rate float [1e-6, 1e-2] varied logarithmically
Optimizer categorical {Adam, SGD } discrete choice
SGD momentum float [0, 0.99] only active if optimizer == SGD
Number of conv layers integer [1,3] can only take integer values 1, 2, or 3
Number of filters in the first conf layer integer [4, 64] logarithmically varied integer values
Number of filters in the second conf layer integer [4, 64] only active if number of layers >= 2
Number of filters in the third conf layer integer [4, 64] only active if number of layers == 3
Dropout rate float [0, 0.9] standard continuous parameter
Number of hidden units in fully connected layer integer [8,256] logarithmically varied integer values

Please refer to the compute method below to see how those are defined using the ConfigSpace package.

The network does not achieve stellar performance when a random configuration is samples, but a few iterations should yield an accuracy of >90%. To speed up training, only 8192 images are used for training, 1024 for validation. The purpose is not to achieve state of the art on MNIST, but to show how to use PyTorch inside HpBandSter, and to demonstrate a more complicated search space.
