With the release of the new version of mlrMBO we added some minor fixes and added a practical feature called Human-in-the-loop MBO. It enables you to sequentially visualize the state of the surrogate model, obtain the suggested parameter configuration for the next iteration and update the surrogate model with arbitrary ...

Hyperparameter tuning with mlr is rich in options as they are multiple tuning methods: Simple Random Search Grid Search Iterated F-Racing (via irace) Sequential Model-Based Optimization (via mlrMBO) Also the search space is easily definable and customizable for each of the 60+ learners of mlr using the ParamSets from the ParamHelpers ...

We are happy to finally announce the first release of mlrMBO on cran after a quite long development time. For the theoretical background and a nearly complete overview of mlrMBOs capabilities you can check our paper on mlrMBO that we presubmitted to arxiv. The key features of mlrMBO are: Global ...

We are happy to announce that we can finally answer the question on how to cite mlr properly in publications. Our paper on mlr has been published in the open-access Journal of Machine Learning Research (JMLR) and can be downloaded on the journal home page.

In this post I want to shortly introduce you to the great visualization possibilities of mlr. Within the last months a lot of work has been put into that field. This post is not a tutorial but more a demonstration of how little code you have to write with mlr ...
