Compared to a fixed evaluation budget per configuration, ERAHBO uses an adaptive stopping rule to halt evaluation of bad configurations immediately. Supported by a new, large-scale benchmark dataset with 50 seeds per configuration, ERAHBO efficiently identifies reliable hyperparameters across - [ARLBench: Flexible and Efficient Benchmarking for Hyperparameter Optimization in Reinforcement Learning](https://automl.space/arlbench/) - Highlight: ARLBench provides a standardized AutoRL benchmark by combining JAX-powered implementations with representative subsets, making high-performance AutoRL research accessible. Speed: Delivers up to 10x faster evaluation than standard libraries, using JAX-based training and statistically selected environment subsets. Flexibility: Supports static, multi-fidelity, and dynamic HPO (like PBT) through a Gymnasium-like interface with full checkpointing capabilities. Validity: - [Provable Sample Cost Reduction in Prior-Guided Hyperparameter Optimization](https://automl.space/provable-sample-cost-reduction-in-prior-guided-hyperparameter-optimization/) - We set out to understand: How exactly does prior informativeness translate into lower sample complexity? And how can we exploit that safely in practice? Reframing HPO Through the Lens of ϵ-Best-Arm Identification To answer these questions, we model HPO as a fixed-budget ϵ-Best-Arm Identification (BAI) problem. Each configuration becomes an arm with an unknown full-fidelity - [Auto-nnU-Net: towards Automated Medical Image Segmentation](https://automl.space/auto-nnu-net-towards-automated-medical-image-segmentation/) - Medical Image Segmentation (MIS) encompasses a variety of objectives, ranging from bone segmentation to organ segmentation, with each task presenting its own set of difficulties in identifying an optimal segmentation model. While the state-of-the-art nnU-Net framework has successfully automated many aspects of model configuration, it surprisingly remains constrained by fixed hyperparameters and manually designed heuristics. - [When Are RL Hyperparameters Benign? Disentangling Objective and Data Quality](https://automl.space/when-are-rl-hyperparameters-benign-disentangling-objective-and-data-quality/) - When it comes to training Deep Reinforcement Learning (RL) agents, the experience can often be described as "hyperparameter hell" - small changes to learning rate, target update rates, or regularization can flip a run from strong performance to complete collapse. Worse, the knobs that matter can change over training, as previously demonstrated by (TODO: Add - [DynaBO: Allowing Expert users to Speedup HPO](https://automl.space/dynabo-allowing-expert-users-to-speedup-hpo/) - Automatic Hyperparameter Optimization (HPO) has proven its usefulness across various applications, but users still prefer to retain control over the selected hyperparameters. To tackle this, we recently proposed a new approach for Dynamic Bayesian Optimization (DynaBO) that allows users to exert dynamic control visualised below. Motivation for DynaBO While Hyperparameter optimization is great at finding - [Neural Attention Search: NAS beyond Layer Level](https://automl.space/neural-attention-search-nas-beyond-layer-level/) - Neural Architecture Search (NAS) has achieved great success by searching for optimal architectures for specific tasks by selecting the best operations across different layers. However, in the era of Large Language Models (LLMs), people tend to use a single model with a unified architecture, e.g., the transformer, and apply it to diverse tasks. However, this does - [Towards Token-Level Hybrid Attention Architectures](https://automl.space/towards-token-level-hybrid-attention-architectures/) - The softmax attention models have become a keystone in modern large language models (LLMs). However, the quadratic computational and linear memory complexities have gradually become bottlenecks in the long term. In the meantime, recent advances in linear attention models have provided another promising direction for more efficient attention models. Linear attention replaces the non-linear softmax - [AutoML@AAAI26](https://automl.space/automlaaai26/) - Having recently returned from the 40th Annual AAAI Conference on Artificial Intelligence (AAAI-26) held in Singapore, I was curious to see the current trajectory of Automated Machine Learning (AutoML) research within our community.

Let me give you - [Dynamic Hyperparameter Importance for Multi-Objective AutoML](https://automl.space/dynamic-hyperparameter-importance-for-multi-objective-automl/) - Multi-objective hyperparameter optimization is now routine in many application settings, where practitioners must balance predictive performance against competing objectives such as inference time, model size, or energy consumption. Despite this, most hyperparameter optimization methods for multi-objective problems still treat the hyperparameter space as static: all dimensions are assumed to be equally relevant throughout the search, - [HyperSHAP: Opening the Black Box of Hyperparameter Optimization with Explainable AI](https://automl.space/hypershap-opening-the-black-box-of-hyperparameter-optimization-with-explainable-ai/) - Which value of a hyperparameter configuration was doing the trick? Why does tuning optimizer momentum help only when weight decay is tuned as well? And why does the optimizer keep “missing” the best configuration? These are the kinds of questions every machine learning practitioner eventually asks, and often struggles to answer. Hyperparameter optimization (HPO) delivers - [10 years of Auto-sklearn](https://automl.space/10-years-of-auto-sklearn/) - With NeurIPS just around the corner let’s take some time to reflect on Auto-sklearn, a project that we published ten years ago at NeurIPS and that started my career as a machine learning researcher and brought me into my current position as assistant professor for "AutoML and Optimization" at TU Dortmund University and the Lamarr - [AutoML'25: Iterative Monte Carlo Tree Search for NAS](https://automl.space/automl25-iterative-monte-carlo-tree-search-for-nas/) - Submitted by Mehraveh Javan Roshtkhari, Matthew Toews and Marco Pedersoli as part of the AutoML’25 conference The architecture of a neural network (number of layers, connections, operations etc.) has a great impact on its performance: a well-designed architecture can lead to significant improvements in a model's accuracy and efficiency.
