Using the Azure Cloud to Scale Up Hyperparameter Optimization for Machine Learning

Vanja Paunic (Microsoft)

Hyperparameter optimization for machine leaning is a complex task that requires advanced optimization techniques and can be implemented as a generic framework decoupled from the specific details of algorithms. We show how such a framework can be applied to learning unrelated tasks like object detection and text matching in a transparent, scalable, and easy to manage way in a cloud service.
