Hyperparameter Selection

AbstractThe use of machine learning (ML)-based surrogate models is a promising technique to significantly accelerate simulation-driven design optimization of internal combustion (IC) engines, due to the high computational cost of running computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations. However, training the ML models requires hyperparameter selection, which is often done using trial-and-error and domain expertise. Another challenge is that the data required to train these models are often unknown a priori. In this work, we present an automated hyperparameter selection technique coupled with an active learning approach to address these challenges. The technique presented in this study involves the use of a Bayesian approach to optimize the hyperparameters of the base learners that make up a super learner model. In addition to performing hyperparameter optimization (HPO), an active learning approach is employed, where the process of data generation using simulations, ML training, and surrogate optimization is performed repeatedly to refine the solution in the vicinity of the predicted optimum. The proposed approach is applied to the optimization of a compression ignition engine with control parameters relating to fuel injection, in-cylinder flow, and thermodynamic conditions. It is demonstrated that by automatically selecting the best values of the hyperparameters, a 1.6% improvement in merit value is obtained, compared to an improvement of 1.0% with default hyperparameters. Overall, the framework introduced in this study reduces the need for technical expertise in training ML models for optimization while also reducing the number of simulations needed for performing surrogate-based design optimization.

Time Required

Traditional antenna optimization solves the modified version of the original antenna design for each iteration. Thus, the total time required to optimize a given antenna design is highly dependent on the convergence criteria of the selected algorithm and the time taken for each iteration. The use of machine learning enables the antenna designer to generate trained mathematical model that replicates the original antenna design and then apply optimization on the trained model. Use of trained model allows to run thousands of optimization iterations in a span of few seconds.
