Abstract (in Japanese) (See Japanese page) 
(in English) Hyperparameter optimization problem is an important problem that appears in areas such as machine learning. Hyperparameter is classified into continuous variable or categorical variable. It is conceivable that an optimal value of the continuous variable is different per the categorical variable. So continuous variable should be represented by the form that ties to categorical variable. Also in the optimization for continuous variable, the optimal algorithm is clearly different per problems. Therefore, we need a framework that have the form that continuous variable ties to categorical variable and the mechanism that an optimization algorithm can be replaced with other one for continuous variable per problems. However, in case of using the framework, it is difficult to decide to optimize for which categorical variable and continuous variable that ties to it because the performance of categorical variable changes depending on the search situation for continuous variable. In this paper, we consider that the above problem arise from the non-stationarity of the distribution of the evaluation value, and we propose the framework HOTS using Thompson Sampling to resolve the problem. On the benchmark problem that the distribution of a evaluation value is non-stationary and on the hyperparameter optimization problem for Deep Neural Network, our experimental results show that HOTS achieves better performance than the comparison methods.
