7 Customizing the search method of AutoML

This chapter covers

  • Understanding sequential search methods
  • Customizing a random search method
  • Vectorizing hyperparameters for the model-based search method
  • Understanding and implementing a Bayesian optimization search method
  • Understanding and implementing an evolutionary search method

In this chapter, we will explore how to customize a sequential search method to iteratively explore the hyperparameter search space and discover better hyperparameters. You will learn how to implement different sequential search methods for selecting pipelines from the search space in each trial. These search methods fall into the following two categories:

  • History-independent sequential search methods cannot be updated ...
