We propose a method for the fast estimation of hyperparameters in large networks, based on the linear response relation in the cav(cid:173) ity method, and an empirical measurement of the Green's func(cid:173) tion. Simulation results show that it is efficient and precise, when compared with cross-validation and other techniques which require matrix inversion.
