Hyperparameter Optimization: Custom Search Strategy Design

Research Question

Design a novel hyperparameter optimization (HPO) strategy that achieves better final validation scores and faster convergence than standard approaches like Random Search, TPE, Hyperband, and their combinations (BOHB, DEHB).

Background

Hyperparameter optimization is a fundamental problem in machine learning: given a model and dataset, find the hyperparameter configuration that maximizes validation performance within a limited evaluation budget. This is a black-box optimization problem where each function evaluation (training + validation) is expensive.

Classic strategies include:

  • Random Search: Samples configurations uniformly. Simple but surprisingly effective, especially when some hyperparameters are more important than others (Bergstra & Bengio, 2012).
  • TPE (Tree-structured Parzen Estimator): Models p(x|y<y*) and p(x|y>=y*) using kernel density estimation and maximizes their ratio (Bergstra et al., 2011).
  • Hyperband: Uses multi-fidelity evaluation (early stopping) with successive halving to allocate resources to promising configurations (Li et al., 2017).

State-of-the-art methods combine these ideas:

  • BOHB: Replaces random sampling in Hyperband with TPE-guided suggestions (Falkner et al., 2018).
  • DEHB: Uses Differential Evolution within Hyperband's multi-fidelity framework (Awad et al., 2021).
  • CMA-ES: Adapts a full covariance matrix of a Gaussian distribution for efficient continuous optimization (Hansen & Ostermeier, 2001).

There is ongoing research into strategies that better adapt to the optimization landscape, leverage multi-fidelity evaluations more effectively, or combine model-based search with evolutionary approaches.

Task

Implement a custom HPO strategy by modifying the CustomHPOStrategy class in scikit-learn/custom_hpo.py. You should implement both __init__ and suggest methods. The class is called repeatedly in a sequential loop where each call proposes one configuration to evaluate.

Interface

class CustomHPOStrategy:
    def __init__(self, seed: int = 42):
        """Initialize the strategy with a random seed."""
        self.seed = seed
        self.rng = np.random.RandomState(seed)

    def suggest(
        self,
        space: SearchSpace,
        history: List[Trial],
        budget_left: int,
    ) -> Tuple[Dict[str, Any], float]:
        """Propose the next configuration to evaluate.

        Args:
            space: SearchSpace with .params (list of HParam), .dim,
                   .sample_uniform(rng), .clip(config)
            history: list of Trial(config, score, budget) from past evals
            budget_left: remaining budget in full-fidelity units

        Returns:
            config: dict mapping hyperparameter names to values
            fidelity: float in (0, 1] for multi-fidelity evaluation
        """
