Description

Embark on a transformative journey into the heart of machine learning advancements with 'Optimizing Machine Learning Models: From Hyperparameter Tuning to Landslide Susceptibility Mapping.' In this groundbreaking book, the intricate interplay between cutting-edge optimization techniques and real-world applications takes center stage, offering readers a comprehensive understanding of how to elevate the performance of machine learning models. Delving into the nuanced world of hyperparameter optimization, the book explores metaheuristic algorithms, deep learning-based optimization, Bayesian techniques, and quantum optimization. Through detailed insights and practical guidance, readers will gain a profound understanding of these techniques and their impact on various machine learning models. The narrative unfolds in the dynamic backdrop of the Karakoram region in Pakistan, addressing the pressing issue of landslides through innovative applications of artificial neural networks (ANNs). The authors showcase the efficacy of metaheuristic and Bayesian optimization in fine-tuning machine learning models, presenting compelling results that outshine conventional baseline algorithms. The focus on landslide susceptibility mapping, a critical concern in the Karakoram region, adds a practical dimension to the theoretical underpinnings, illustrating the immediate real-world relevance of these advanced techniques. Beyond hyperparameter optimization, the book explores feature selection algorithms, shedding light on the pivotal role of geospatial variables in predicting landslide occurrence.
