Question

What does CV stand for in GridSearchCV and why?

• a) cross-validation: once we found the best parameters we estimate the model performance through cross-validation on the full data

• b) circular values: we do a permutation of all the possible parameter value combinations

• c) cross-validation: the score of each combination of parameters on the grid is computed by using an internal cross-validation procedure

• d) contribution value: we estimate how much each parameter contributes to the model generalization performance

Question

Given pipeline defined by:

from sklearn.preprocessing import StandardScaler
from sklearn.linear_model import LogisticRegression
from sklearn.pipeline import Pipeline
from sklearn.model_selection import GridSearchCV
from sklearn.datasets import load_iris

X, y = load_iris(return_X_y=True)
pipeline = Pipeline([
('scaler', StandardScaler()),
('classifier', LogisticRegression())
])


We want to find the best C through a grid-search where C takes the values 0.1, 1, and 10:

param_grid = ...  # complete this line in your answer
model = GridSearchCV(
pipeline,
param_grid=param_grid
).fit(X, y)
model.best_params_


How should the param_grid variable be defined:

• a) param_grid = {'logisticregression__C': [0.1, 1, 10]}

• b) param_grid = {'classifier__C': [0.1, 1, 10]}

• c) param_grid = {'classifier__C': 0.1, 'classifier__C': 1, 'classifier__C': 10}

• d) param_grid = {'C': [0.1, 1, 10]}

Question

Select the true statements about RandomizedSearchCV and GridSearchCV below:

• a) RandomizedSearchCV has a fixed computation budget through its n_iter parameter

• b) RandomizedSearchCV allows to test all the combinations of a fixed set of parameter values

• c) GridSearchCV can become very computationally intensive when the number of parameters grows

• d) both GridSearchCV and RandomizedSearchCV have the attributes cv_results_ and best_params_

• e) both GridSearchCV and RandomizedSearchCV can use probability distributions to draw parameter values from

Copy and execute the following code in the sandbox notebook to load the results of the randomized-search performed in the previous notebook. Executing this code will display an interactive plot to analyze the impact of the hyper-parameters on the test score of the models.

import numpy as np
import pandas as pd
import plotly.express as px

def shorten_param(param_name):
if "__" in param_name:
return param_name.rsplit("__", 1)[1]
return param_name

index_col=0)

fig = px.parallel_coordinates(
cv_results.rename(shorten_param, axis=1).apply({
"learning_rate": np.log10,
"max_leaf_nodes": np.log2,
"max_bins": np.log2,
"min_samples_leaf": np.log10,
"l2_regularization": np.log10,
"mean_test_score": lambda x: x}),
color="mean_test_score",
color_continuous_scale=px.colors.sequential.Viridis,
)
fig.show()


Note

We transformed most axis values by taking a log10 or log2 to spread the active ranges and improve the readability of the plot.

Question

In the parallel coordinate plot obtained by the running the above code snippet, select the bad performing models.

We define bad performing models as the models with a mean_test_score below 0.8. You can select the range [0.0, 0.8] by clicking and holding on the mean_test_score axis of the parallel coordinate plot.

Looking at this plot, which parameter values always cause the model to perform badly?

• a) too large l2_regularization

• b) too small l2_regularization

• c) too large learning_rate

• d) too small learning_rate

• e) too large max_bins

• f) too small max_bins

Question

In the parallel coordinate plot shown above, select the models with a score higher than 0.85. You can select the range [0.85, max] by clicking and holding on the mean_test_score axis of the parallel coordinate plot.

Identify ranges of values for hyperparameters that always prevent the model to reach a test score higher than 0.85, irrespective of the other values. In other words, which hyperparameters values are never used to get a good model (i.e. with mean_test_score higher than 0.85).

• a) too large l2_regularization

• b) too small l2_regularization

• c) too large learning_rate

• d) too low learning_rate

• e) too large max_bins

• f) too low max_bins
