Description

Background

Machine learning models in networking applications require careful tuning of numerous hyperparameters to achieve optimal performance. Manual hyperparameter optimization is time-consuming, resource-intensive, and often leads to suboptimal results. Automated hyperparameter optimization frameworks can systematically explore the parameter space and identify optimal configurations, significantly improving model performance and reducing development time. Recent advances in automated optimization techniques have shown promising results in various domains, making them particularly relevant for network-related ML applications.

Problem Description

This thesis focuses on developing an efficient hyperparameter optimization framework for network ML models. The project consists of the following steps:

Survey existing hyperparameter optimization methods and frameworks

Design and implement a flexible framework for hyperparameter tuning in Julia

Develop optimization algorithms (e.g., Bayesian Optimization, Random Search, Evolution Strategies)

Create benchmarking suite for different network ML models

Evaluate and compare optimization strategies
