Tuning
Discussion on the hyperparameter tuning and evaluation process
How it works: Quick introduction to SigOpt
Data Augmentation
There are only 183 total COVID-19 examples (as of mid-April), but 14000
non-COVID examples.
● To help treat this imbalance, we add a fixed fraction of COVID-19 examples
to each batch during stochastic gradient descent.
● Data augmentation is a necessary element to produce more COVID-19
“knowledge” for our network to learn.
○ Zooming
○ Translation
○ Rotation
○ Brightness
○ Trimming

Tuning COVID-Net
Olivia and Mike met with Linda to learn about the design of COVID-Net.
● In particular, we wanted to learn how parameters of the training process
and data augmentation were chosen.
● The only work that had been done thus far was a manual search.
○ Linda confirmed that the hyperparameters are important, but did not
thoroughly explore the situation.
● We identified 7 parameters to tune in a multimetric experiment.
Data augmentation - 4 parameters
Loss function - 1 parameter
Training process - 2 parameters

Results
Doctors have said that high sensitivity is
preferable to high PPV -- this has the effect of
minimizing the false negatives.

Analysis
Our real value in this project is being able to produce
insights about the relevance of certain parameters to
the success of the model building process.
