Abstract
A computing system provides distributed training of a neural network model. Explore phase options, exploit phase options, a subset of a training dataset, and a validation dataset are distributed to a plurality of computing devices. (a) Execution of the model by the computing devices is requested using the subset stored at each computing device. (b) A first result of the execution is received from a computing device. (c) Next configuration data for the neural network model is selected based on the first result and distributed to the computing device. (a) to (c) is repeated until an exploration phase is complete. (d) Execution of the neural network model is requested. (e) A second result is received. (f) Next configuration data is computed based on the second result and distributed to the computing device. (d) to (f) is repeated until an exploitation phase is complete. The next configuration data defines the model.
