G.O.D. Framework

Introduction

The ai_cross_validation_hyperparameter_optimization.py script is a key module in the G.O.D. Framework dedicated to optimizing machine learning models through cross-validation and hyperparameter tuning. By automating these processes, the script ensures optimal configuration for the model under evaluation.

Purpose

• Performance Evaluation: Accurately assesses the performance of machine learning models using cross-validation.
• Optimization: Finds the ideal hyperparameter configuration for maximizing model accuracy and efficiency.
• Robustness Testing: Quantifies model resilience under different train-validation splits.
• Pipeline Integration: Streamlines model selection and evaluation for larger data science workflows.

Key Features

• Multi-Fold Cross-Validation: Utilizes techniques like k-fold cross-validation to provide robust model metrics.
• Grid Search: Performs grid-based hyperparameter optimization for exhaustive search.
• Random Search: Implements random hyperparameter search for faster results when the search space is large.
• Visualization: Includes utilities to visualize and compare results from different parameter sets.

Logic and Implementation

At its core, this script automates the evaluation and optimization of machine learning models. The workflow follows these steps:

1. Model Preparation: Receives a model, dataset, and parameter grid for tuning.
2. Tuning Configuration: Configures a hyperparameter tuning approach (grid search or random search).
3. Cross-Validation: Validates the model using k-fold cross-validation for each parameter combination.
4. Evaluation: Records and saves performance metrics (e.g., accuracy, precision, F1 score) for each trial.
5. Result Selection: Selects the best hyperparameter configuration based on a scoring function (e.g., validation accuracy).

Dependencies

The script requires the following Python libraries, which are common for ML workflows:

• scikit-learn: Core library for machine learning and cross-validation.
• numpy (optional): For numerical computations used in feature processing.

How to Use This Script

1. Prepare your dataset as feature matrix X and target vector y.
2. Define a candidate machine learning model (e.g., RandomForest, SVM).
3. Specify a hyperparameter grid or distribution to tune.
4. Run the perform_search method to start optimization.
5. Review and apply the best hyperparameters for your final trained model.

            # Example usage
            optimizer = HyperparameterOptimizer(
                model=RandomForestClassifier(),
                param_grid={"n_estimators": [100, 200], "max_depth": [10, 20]},
                search_type="grid",
                cv=3
            )
            best_params, best_score = optimizer.perform_search(X, y)
            print("Optimization Complete:", best_params, best_score)
