Keynote: Boost AI Experimentation to Design, Explore, and Optimize Your Models
8 - 8:45am
Modeling is a scientific process that requires experimentation to get right. But experimentation is only as effective as the combination of tools and techniques applied to it. During this session, SigOpt GM Scott Clark discusses an intelligent approach to AI experimentation, including how to design experiments, explore model parameter spaces and optimize model hyperparameters. This discussion will include guidance on techniques and tools that make this workflow more efficient, effective, and scalable. You will leave the session with a framework for experimentation, including considerations around metrics, parameters, architectures, runs, compute and hyperparameter search methods. And you will receive a fully executable notebook that comes with free SigOpt access to begin to explore these lessons on your own.
