On Cross-Validation for Hyperparameter Optimization of Deep Learning Image Classifiers

Excerpt

arXiv:2608.14705v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Hyperparameter optimization (HPO) can materially affect the performance of deep learning (DL) image classifiers, but there is little empirical guidance on how to derive the validation signal that drives it, especially for the small sample sizes common in fields such as medical imaging. We compared three HPO protocols in terms of {\em absolute performance-estimation error} (AEE; the absolute difference between the winning configuration's validatio
