Abstract

Neural networks have several useful applications in machine learning. However, benefiting from the neural-network architecture can be tricky in some instances due to the large number of parameters that can influence performance. In general, given a particular dataset, a data scientist cannot do much to improve the efficiency of the model. However, by tuning certain hyperparameters, the model's accuracy and time of execution can be improved. Hence, it is of utmost importance to select the optimal values of hyperparameters. Choosing the optimal values of hyperparameters requires experience and mastery of the machine learning paradigm. In this paper, neural network-based architectures are tested based on altering the values of hyperparameters for handwritten-based digit recognition. Various neural network-based models are used to analyze different aspects of the same, primarily accuracy based on hyperparameter values. The extensive experimentation setup in this article should, therefore, provide the most accurate and time-efficient solution models. Such an evaluation will help in selecting the optimized values of hyperparameters for similar tasks. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
