yuhao yang updated SPARK-18755:
-------------------------------
Description:
Randomized Grid Search implements a randomized search over parameters, where
each setting is sampled from a distribution over possible parameter values.
This has two main benefits over an exhaustive search:
1. A budget can be chosen independent of the number of parameters and possible
values.
2. Adding parameters that do not influence the performance does not decrease
efficiency.
Randomized Grid search usually gives similar result as exhaustive search, while
the run time for randomized search is drastically lower.
For more background, please refer to:
sklearn: http://scikit-learn.org/stable/modules/grid_search.html
http://blog.kaggle.com/2015/07/16/scikit-learn-video-8-efficiently-searching-for-optimal-tuning-parameters/
http://www.jmlr.org/papers/volume13/bergstra12a/bergstra12a.pdf
https://www.r-bloggers.com/hyperparameter-optimization-in-h2o-grid-search-random-search-and-the-future/.
There're two ways to implement this in Spark as I see:
1. Add searchRatio to ParamGridBuilder and conduct sampling directly during
build. Only 1 new public function is required.
2. Add trait RadomizedSearch and create new class RandomizedCrossValidator and
RandomizedTrainValiationSplit, which can be complicated since we need to deal
with the models.
I'd prefer option 1 as it's much simpler and straightforward. We can support
Randomized grid search via some smallest change.
