Parameter tuning with mlrHyperopt

18.07.2017

Hyperparameter tuning with mlr is rich in options as they are multiple tuning methods: Simple Random Search Grid Search Iterated F-Racing (via irace) Sequential Model-Based Optimization (via mlrMBO) Also the search space is easily definable and customizable for each of the 60+ learners of mlr using the ParamSets from the ParamHelpers Package. T...

Stepwise Bayesian Optimization with mlrMBO

09.01.2018

With the release of the new version of mlrMBO we added some minor fixes and added a practical feature called Human-in-the-loop MBO. It enables you to sequentially visualize the state of the surrogate model, obtain the suggested parameter configuration for the next iteration and update the surrogate model with arbitrary evaluations. In the follo...

Interpretable Machine Learning with iml and mlr

27.02.2018

Machine learning models repeatedly outperform interpretable, parametric models like the linear regression model. The gains in performance have a price: The models operate as black boxes which are not interpretable. Fortunately, there are many methods that can make machine learning models interpretable. The R package iml provides tools for analysi...
