In artichaud1/tidygrid: A package for Tidy Hyperparameter Tuning

• Prepare the recipe:
• Prepare your scoring function:
• Grid search:
• Random search:

This document showcases the two basic tidytune methods of doing hyperparameter optimization: grid search and random search.

We will be using the wollowing libraries for this example and most of the examples in the package.

library(recipes)
library(magrittr)
library(tidytune)
library(rsample)
library(ParamHelpers)
library(MLmetrics) # for LogLoss
library(dplyr)

Prepare the recipe:

data("attrition")

attrition %<>% mutate(Attrition = ifelse(Attrition == 'Yes', 1, 0))

resamples <- rsample::vfold_cv(attrition, v = 2)

rec <- 
  recipe(attrition) %>%
  add_role(Attrition, new_role = 'outcome') %>%
  add_role(-Attrition, new_role = 'predictor') %>%
  step_novel(all_nominal(), -Attrition) %>%
  step_dummy(all_nominal(), -Attrition) %>%
  step_zv(all_predictors())

Prepare your scoring function:

library(xgboost)

xgboost_classif_score <- 
  function(train_df, 
           target_var, 
           params, 
           eval_df, 
           ...){

  X_train <- train_df %>% select(-matches(target_var)) %>% as.matrix()
  y_train <- train_df[[target_var]]
  xgb_train_data <- xgb.DMatrix(X_train, label = y_train)

  X_eval <- eval_df %>% select(-matches(target_var)) %>% as.matrix()
  y_eval <- eval_df[[target_var]]
  xgb_eval_data <- xgb.DMatrix(X_eval, label = y_eval)

  model <- xgb.train(params = params,
                     data = xgb_train_data,
                     watchlist = list(train = xgb_train_data, eval = xgb_eval_data),
                     objective = 'binary:logistic',
                     verbose = FALSE,
                     ...)

  preds <- predict(model, xgb_eval_data)

  list(logloss = LogLoss(preds, y_eval), 
       acc = Accuracy(ifelse(preds > 0.5, 1, 0), y_eval))

  # You can also return a simple vector score:
  # LogLoss(preds, y_eval)
}

Grid search:

set.seed(123)

xgboost_param_grid <- expand.grid(eta = c(0.1, 0.05), max_depth = c(3:10))

results_grid_search <- 
  grid_search(
    resamples = resamples, 
    recipe = rec, 
    param_grid = xgboost_param_grid, 
    scoring_func = xgboost_classif_score, 
    nrounds = 100
  )

Random search:

xgboost_random_params <-
  makeParamSet(
    makeIntegerParam('max_depth', lower = 1, upper = 15),

To get the performance of parameter combinations across folds and extract your optimal parameters, simply do:

library(dplyr)

results_random_search %>%
  group_by_at(getParamIds(xgboost_random_params)) %>%
  summarise(logloss = mean(logloss),
            accuracy = mean(acc)) %>%
  arrange(logloss, accuracy)
#> # A tibble: 4 x 8
