Abstract

Masterful is a software platform to train deep learning computer vision models. Data and model architecture are inputs to the platform, and the output is a trained model. The platform's primary goal is to maximize a trained model's accuracy, which it achieves through its regularization and semi-supervised learning implementations. The platform's secondary goal is to minimize the amount of manual experimentation typically required to tune training hyperparameters, which it achieves via multiple metalearning algorithms which are custom built to control the platform's regularization and semi-supervised learning implementations. The platform's tertiary goal is to minimize the computing resources required to train a model, which it achieves via another set of metalearning algorithms which are purpose built to control Tensorflow's optimization implementations. The platform builds on top of Tensorflow's data management, architecture, automatic differentiation, and optimization implementations.
