Accelerated Bayesian optimization for CNN+LSTM learning rate tuning via precomputed Gaussian process subspaces in soil analysis by Xiaolong Chen, Hongfeng Zhang, Cora Un In Wong, Zhengchun Song

“…PurposeWe propose an accelerated Bayesian optimization framework for tuning the learning rate of CNN+LSTM models in soil analysis, addressing the computational inefficiency of traditional Gaussian Process (GP)-based methods. This work bridges the gap between computational efficiency and probabilistic robustness, with broader implications for automated machine learning in geoscientific applications.MethodThe key innovation lies in a subspace-accelerated GP surrogate model that precomputes low-rank approximations of covariance matrices offline, thereby decoupling the costly hyperparameter tuning from the online acquisition function evaluations. …”
