Overview
Onegin is an intelligent hyperparameter optimization system designed to automatically tune machine learning models for optimal performance. By leveraging advanced search algorithms and efficient trial management, Onegin significantly reduces the time and expertise required to fine-tune AI models for production deployment.
The system automates the traditionally tedious and time-consuming process of hyperparameter tuning, allowing data scientists and ML engineers to focus on higher-level model architecture decisions while Onegin handles the optimization of learning rates, batch sizes, regularization parameters, and other critical hyperparameters.

Future Research
Onegin lays the mechanical groundwork for future research into the importance of incorporating health metrics into the model architecture optimization process. By building a robust hyperparameter optimization system, we've created the infrastructure needed to rigorously investigate a fundamental question: Does optimizing for model health metrics produce models that perform better in real-world scenarios?
Planned research areas include:
- Generalization Performance: Comparing accuracy-only vs. health-aware optimization on truly unseen holdout data to measure real-world generalization capability
- Robustness Testing: Evaluating model performance under corrupted and noisy conditions (Gaussian noise, motion blur, JPEG compression) to assess resilience to real-world data degradation
- Distribution Shift Analysis: Testing model adaptation to related but different datasets and geometric transformations to measure transfer learning capability
- Calibration Quality: Analyzing whether model confidence scores match actual prediction accuracy through Expected Calibration Error (ECE) and reliability diagrams
- Cross-Dataset Transfer: Measuring how well models trained on one dataset perform on related datasets to evaluate knowledge transfer
- Health Metric Ablation Study: Identifying which specific health metrics (gradient flow, convergence quality, neuron utilization, etc.) are most predictive of practical model performance
This research framework aims to demonstrate that test accuracy alone is insufficient for real-world model deployment, and that health metrics can predict superior practical performance even when validation accuracy is slightly lower.
