    Study Notes

    Hyperparameter Tuning

    • Hyperparameters define model structure and training process
    • Set before training begins
    • Examples include learning rate, batch size, epochs, and regularization

    Hyperparameter Details

    • Learning Rate: Speed of model data incorporation.
      • Higher rate = faster convergence but risk of overshooting optimal solution
      • Lower rate = more precise convergence but slower
    • Batch Size: Number of data points considered at a time.
      • Smaller batch size = more stable learning but slower computation
      • Larger batch size = faster computation but potentially less stable updates.
    • Number of Epochs: Number of iterations over the entire training dataset.
      • Too few epochs = underfitting
      • Too many epochs = overfitting (model learns noise in data)
    • Regularization: Balances model simplicity and complexity.
      • Increasing regularization reduces overfitting.

    Hyperparameter Tuning Methods

    • Grid Search, Random Search
    • Automatic Model Tuning (AMT) services (e.g., SageMaker)

    Overfitting

    • Model performs well on training data but poorly on new data.
    • Causes include:
      • Small, non-representative training dataset
      • Excessive training (too many epochs)
      • High model complexity (learning noise)

    Preventing Overfitting

    • Increase training data size (more representative)
    • Implement early stopping (stop training before overfitting)
    • Data augmentation (increase data diversity)
    • Adjust existing hyperparameters (learning rate, batch size, epochs) but this is generally not the primary solution to overfitting
