Abstract

The problem of fine-tuning parameters in deep learning techniques has been considerably focused in the last years, since to hand-tune them is painful and prone to errors. In this proposal, we model the problem of adjusting parameters as an optimization task, since meta- heuristic techniques have obtained very interesting results in a number of problems. There is one inspired on the behavior of microbats that use echolocation to find their prey: the Bat Algorithm (BA) and we decided to evaluate its performance in the context of deep learning-based techniques and for face-based emotion recognition. Additionally, this proposal aims to bring together two research groups from leading universities and to allow an international experience for the student. (AU)
