  text: 'Automated machine learning (AutoML) supports the algorithmic construction
    and data-specific customization of machine learning pipelines, including the selection,
    combination, and parametrization of machine learning algorithms as main constituents.
    Generally speaking, AutoML approaches comprise two major components: a search
    space model and an optimizer for traversing the space. Recent approaches have
    shown impressive results in the realm of supervised learning, most notably (single-label)
    classification (SLC). Moreover, first attempts at extending these approaches towards
    multi-label classification (MLC) have been made. While the space of candidate
    pipelines is already huge in SLC, the complexity of the search space is raised
    to an even higher power in MLC. One may wonder, therefore, whether and to what
    extent optimizers established for SLC can scale to this increased complexity,
    and how they compare to each other. This paper makes the following contributions:
    First, we survey existing approaches to AutoML for MLC. Second, we augment these
    approaches with optimizers not previously tried for MLC. Third, we propose a benchmarking
    framework that supports a fair and systematic comparison. Fourth, we conduct an
    extensive experimental study, evaluating the methods on a suite of MLC problems.
    We find a grammar-based best-first search to compare favorably to other optimizers.'

  text: "In practical, large-scale networks, services are requested\r\nby users across
    the globe, e.g., for video streaming.\r\nServices consist of multiple interconnected
    components such as\r\nmicroservices in a service mesh. Coordinating these services\r\nrequires
    scaling them according to continuously changing user\r\ndemand, deploying instances
    at the edge close to their users,\r\nand routing traffic efficiently between users
    and connected instances.\r\nNetwork and service coordination is commonly addressed\r\nthrough
    centralized approaches, where a single coordinator\r\nknows everything and coordinates
    the entire network globally.\r\nWhile such centralized approaches can reach global
    optima, they\r\ndo not scale to large, realistic networks. In contrast, distributed\r\napproaches
    scale well, but sacrifice solution quality due to their\r\nlimited scope of knowledge
    and coordination decisions.\r\n\r\nTo this end, we propose a hierarchical coordination
    approach\r\nthat combines the good solution quality of centralized approaches\r\nwith
    the scalability of distributed approaches. In doing so, we divide\r\nthe network
    into multiple hierarchical domains and optimize\r\ncoordination in a top-down
    manner. We compare our hierarchical\r\nwith a centralized approach in an extensive
    evaluation on a real-world\r\nnetwork topology. Our results indicate that hierarchical\r\ncoordination
    can find close-to-optimal solutions in a fraction of\r\nthe runtime of centralized
    approaches."

  text: Automated machine learning (AutoML) seeks to automatically select, compose,
    and parametrize machine learning algorithms, so as to achieve optimal performance
    on a given task (dataset). Although current approaches to AutoML have already
    produced impressive results, the field is still far from mature, and new techniques
    are still being developed. In this paper, we present ML-Plan, a new approach to
    AutoML based on hierarchical planning. To highlight the potential of this approach,
    we compare ML-Plan to the state-of-the-art frameworks Auto-WEKA, auto-sklearn,
    and TPOT. In an extensive series of experiments, we show that ML-Plan is highly
    competitive and often outperforms existing approaches.

  text: "In automated machine learning (AutoML), the process of engineering machine
    learning applications with respect to a specific problem is (partially) automated.\r\nVarious
    AutoML tools have already been introduced to provide out-of-the-box machine learning
    functionality.\r\nMore specifically, by selecting machine learning algorithms
    and optimizing their hyperparameters, these tools produce a machine learning pipeline
    tailored to the problem at hand.\r\nExcept for TPOT, all of these tools restrict
    the maximum number of processing steps of such a pipeline.\r\nHowever, as TPOT
    follows an evolutionary approach, it suffers from performance issues when dealing
    with larger datasets.\r\nIn this paper, we present an alternative approach leveraging
    a hierarchical planning to configure machine learning pipelines that are unlimited
    in length.\r\nWe evaluate our approach and find its performance to be competitive
    with other AutoML tools, including TPOT."

  text: In multinomial classification, reduction techniques are commonly used to decompose
    the original learning problem into several simpler problems. For example, by recursively
    bisecting the original set of classes, so-called nested dichotomies define a set
    of binary classification problems that are organized in the structure of a binary
    tree. In contrast to the existing one-shot heuristics for constructing nested
    dichotomies and motivated by recent work on algorithm configuration, we propose
    a genetic algorithm for optimizing the structure of such dichotomies. A key component
    of this approach is the proposed genetic representation that facilitates the application
    of standard genetic operators, while still supporting the exchange of partial
    solutions under recombination. We evaluate the approach in an extensive experimental
    study, showing that it yields classifiers with superior generalization performance.

  text: Microphone arrays represent the basis for many challenging acoustic sensing
    tasks. The accuracy of techniques like beamforming directly depends on a precise
    knowledge of the relative positions of the sensors used. Unfortunately, for certain
    use cases manually measuring the geometry of an array is not feasible due to practical
    constraints. In this paper we present an approach to unsupervised shape calibration
    of microphone array networks. We developed a hierarchical procedure that first
    performs local shape calibration based on coherence analysis and then employs
    SRP-PHAT in a network calibration method. Practical experiments demonstrate the
    effectiveness of our approach especially for highly reverberant acoustic environments.
