Education
- 2009-2014 Specialist Student (equiv. to MD). Faculty of Philosophy, SPBU, St. Petersburg, Russia. Specialization: Logic
- 2016-2020 Ph.D. student. Faculty of Software Engineering and Computer Systems, ITMO University, St. Petersburg, Russia. Thesis: The method of data models complex evaluation for automated unsupervised machine learning
PhD thesis
The goal of the thesis was complex automation of model selection and hyperparameter optimization for unsupervised learning algorithms based on information evaluation of learning models. Results:
- A formal model of unsupervised learning, describing learning models with set-theoretic operations, namely factorizations, compositions, and partitions. Provides a base for complex model selection and hyperparameter optimization
- A set of information measures for unsupervised learning models evaluation, namely for dimensionality, model complexity, and label partitions, using adjustment for chance technique. Provides complex model selection and hyperparameter optimization
- A method of hyperparameter selection for unsupervised learning algorithms via prior information criteria, based on objective prior distributions for partitions and decision-making rules, applied to the proposed information measures. The method exceeds random hyperparameter selection or using constant hyperparameters with equal time complexity
