To produce any sufficiently accurate machine learning model, the process requires tuning parameters and hyperparameters. Your model’s parameters are variables that your chosen machine learning technique uses to adjust to your data, like weights in neural networks to minimize loss. Hyperparameters are variables that control the training process itself. For example, in a multilayer perceptron, …
