Question

You developed a Python module by using Keras to train a regression model. You developed two model architectures, linear regression and deep neural network (DNN), within the same module. You are using the training_method argument to select one of the two methods, and you are using the learning_rate and num_hidden_layers arguments in the DNN. You plan to use Vertex AI's hypertuning service with a budget to perform 100 trials. You want to identify the model architecture and hyperparameter values that minimize training loss and maximize model performance. What should you do?

Options

  • ARun one hypertuning job for 100 trials. Set num_hidden_layers as a conditional
  • BRun two separate hypertuning jobs, a linear regression job for 50 trials, and a DNN job for 50 trials.
  • CRun one hypertuning job with training_method as the hyperparameter for 50 trials. Select the
  • DRun one hypertuning job for 100 trials. Set and as

Explanation

This approach allows you to explore both model architectures (linear regression and DNN) within a single hypertuning job while effectively managing hyperparameters. By setting as a conditional hyperparameter based on training_method, you num_hidden_layers ensure that the DNN-specific hyperparameters are only considered when the DNN architecture is selected. The learning_rate can be tuned across both architectures as a non-conditional hyperparameter. This strategy maximizes the use of the 100 trials to identify the optimal architecture and hyperparameters while minimizing training loss and maximizing model
