Class HyperparameterSearchSpace

Namespace

AiDotNet.Models

Assembly

AiDotNet.dll

Defines the search space for hyperparameter optimization.

public class HyperparameterSearchSpace

Inheritance

object

HyperparameterSearchSpace

Inherited Members

object.Equals(object)

object.Equals(object, object)

object.GetHashCode()

object.GetType()

object.MemberwiseClone()

object.ReferenceEquals(object, object)

object.ToString()

Remarks

For Beginners: A search space defines all possible values for each hyperparameter. For example, learning rate might be between 0.001 and 0.1, and batch size might be 16, 32, or 64.

Constructors

HyperparameterSearchSpace()

Initializes a new instance of the HyperparameterSearchSpace class.

public HyperparameterSearchSpace()

Properties

Parameters

Gets or sets the parameter distributions/ranges.

public Dictionary<string, ParameterDistribution> Parameters { get; set; }

Property Value

Dictionary<string, ParameterDistribution>

Methods

AddBoolean(string)

Adds a boolean parameter.

public void AddBoolean(string name)

Parameters

name string

Exceptions

ArgumentException

Thrown when name is null or empty.

AddCategorical(string, params object[])

Adds a categorical parameter (discrete choices).

public void AddCategorical(string name, params object[] choices)

Parameters

name string

choices object[]

Remarks

For Beginners: Use this when you have specific choices like optimizer type ("adam", "sgd") or activation function ("relu", "tanh").

Exceptions

ArgumentException

Thrown when choices is null or empty.

AddContinuous(string, double, double, bool)

Adds a continuous (real-valued) parameter.

public void AddContinuous(string name, double min, double max, bool logScale = false)

Parameters

name string

min double

max double

logScale bool

Remarks

For Beginners: Use this for decimal numbers like learning rate (0.001) or dropout (0.5).

Exceptions

ArgumentException

Thrown when min is greater than or equal to max, or when logScale is true and min is not positive.

AddInteger(string, int, int, int)

Adds an integer parameter.

public void AddInteger(string name, int min, int max, int step = 1)

Parameters

name string

min int

max int

step int

Remarks

For Beginners: Use this for whole numbers like batch size (32) or number of layers (5).

Exceptions

ArgumentException

Thrown when min is greater than or equal to max, or when step is not positive.
