案例研究
前四部分在测试函数上构建方法,所选的测试函数便于把每个想法展示清楚。本部分把这些方法用于真实问题,每章一个,并保留测试函数略去的细节:一次评估的实际代价、噪声的来源、实践者在第一次查询之前必须做出的选择,以及已发表的研究在实际问题上应用这些方法时有何发现。
其中两章使用实测数据,图中的优化器面对的是真实结果而非公式:一是分类器在真实数据集上的验证误差,二是一组经过完全枚举的化学反应的产率。另一章用按已发表研究校准的模拟行走者重演人在回路中的外骨骼调节,并明确说明哪些部分属于模拟。最后一章的问题之所以真实,是因为读者本人就是问题的一部分:读者通过比较不同版本来增强一张照片,方法则从中学习读者的眼光。
本部分各章
- 22 为分类器调参
基于实测结果的贝叶斯优化。第一个问题是支持向量机在两个超参数上的验证误差地形:读者先亲自搜索,再观看网格搜索、随机搜索与贝叶斯搜索在同一地形上回放;第二个问题是梯度提升树模型七个超参数上的搜索记录,并给出代价、噪声与留出数据上的得分。
- 23 优化化学反应
在已发表且全部实测的反应数据集上回放贝叶斯优化:配体、碱、溶剂、浓度与温度共 1,728 种组合,每种组合都有实测产率。读者先在同一数据上参与化学家们做过的优化游戏,再观察优化器在独热编码或描述符编码、不同批量大小下的表现,并与随机选择、50 位有记录的化学家以及论文本身的运行结果比较。
- 24 人在回路中调节外骨骼
在按已发表研究校准的模拟行走者上重演人在回路的外骨骼调节:一次两分钟代谢估计的价值;一次调节会话,读者凭感觉调节装置,并在相同的行走时间内与贝叶斯优化、进化策略和偏好优化比较;以及仍在适应中的人对所有这些方法的影响。
- 25 通过比较增强照片
在一张真实照片上以六项调整进行偏好贝叶斯优化:读者通过二选一或沿直线滑动来增强照片,模型从中学习读者的品味;本章还将一次会话所揭示的现象(一致性、漂移、对提问顺序的依赖)与已发表的研究相对照。
