Setting up a sweep job for random sampling

As we saw with setting up a command for grid sampling, a command for random sampling is simply a job command with the hyperparameters included in the command. One difference between the grid command and the random command is that the hyperparameters can be continuous in a random sampling sweep job.

Here’s the code for the job command for random sampling:

Figure 4.20 – Sweep job command with hyperparameters for random sampling

As shown in Figure 4.20 in line 25, the value of C is defined to follow a uniform distribution from 0.01 to 10.0, making this a continuous hyperparameter across the search space.

Just as with the grid sampling sweep job, we set parameters for our sweep but specify them using a random sampling algorithm as shown here:

Given the parameters for the sweep job and the limits have...
