Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) In machine learning methods, an appropriate hyper-parameter tuning is really important for classifiers to perform its best. However, in general, the relationship between the performance of classifiers and their hyper-parameters is an unknown function. So the features with the objective function such as gradient are not available to optimize hyper-parameters. In this paper, we apply derivative-free optimization methods without the gradient information of the objective function in the hyper-parameter tuning of classifiers and evaluated their performance by computational experiments.
