🌲 Tree Segmentation Performance Optimization Dataset

Fractional–Factorial Hyperparameter Search Results (64‑run, Resolution V DOE)

This dataset contains the experimental results from a 64‑run fractional factorial design (2⁸⁻² Resolution V) used to optimize hyperparameters for a SegFormer semantic segmentation model trained to detect trees.


📂 Dataset Structure

results/fractional_factorial_partial.csv

A cumulative CSV file updated after each experiment.
It contains all completed runs so far, enabling:

  • real‑time monitoring
  • ability to resume experiments
  • incremental analysis

results/fractional_factorial_results.csv

The final CSV produced once all 64 runs finish.
It includes for each run:

  • experiment ID
  • fractional‑factorial coded levels (A–H)
  • the decoded hyperparameters
  • best‑epoch metrics for train, validation, and test splits
  • training time

Both CSV files share the same schema but differ in completeness.


🧪 Experimental Design Overview

A 2⁸⁻² fractional factorial experiment was used with:

  • 8 factors (A–H)
  • 64 total runs
  • Resolution V, allowing estimation of main effects and most two‑factor interactions
  • Generators:
    • G = A × B × C × D
    • H = A × B × E × F

Factors A–F are independent; G and H are derived.

This design allows efficient exploration of a large hyperparameter space using only 64 experiments instead of 256.


🎛 Hyperparameter Coding

Each coded factor { -1, +1 } is mapped to an actual hyperparameter:

Factor −1 Level +1 Level
A learning rate = 1e-5 1e-4
B weight decay = 0.0 0.1
C scheduler = linear cosine
D warmup ratio = 0.0 0.15
E grad. accumulation = 1 4
F epochs = 50 200
G train batch size = 2 4
H eval batch size = 2 4

The dataset includes both the coded values and the decoded hyperparameters.
