Many advanced recommender models are implemented using matrix factorization algorithms. Experiments show that the quality of their performance depends significantly on the selected hyperparameters. Analysis of the effectiveness of using various methods for solving this problem of optimizing hyperparameters was made. It has shown that the use of classical Bayesian optimization which treats the model as a «black box» remains the standard solution. However, the models based on matrix factorization have a number of characteristic features. Their use makes it possible to introduce changes in the optimization process leading to a decrease in the time required to find the sought points without losing quality. Modification of the Gaussian process core which is used as a surrogate model for the loss function when performing the Bayesian optimization was proposed. The described modification at first iterations increases the variance of the values predicted by the Gaussian process over a given region of the hyperparameter space. In some cases, this makes it possible to obtain more information about the real form of the investigated loss function in less time. Experiments were carried out using well-known data sets for recommender systems. Total optimization time when applying the modification was reduced by 16 % (or 263 seconds) at best and remained the same at worst (less than 1-second difference). In this case, the expected error of the recommender model did not change (the absolute difference in values is two orders of magnitude lower than the value of error reduction in the optimization process). Thus, the use of the proposed modification contributes to finding a better set of hyperparameters in less time without loss of quality. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
