Fine-Tuning ML Hyperparameters

"Just as electricity transformed almost every industry 100 years ago, today I actually have hard time thinking of an industry that I don't think AI (Artificial Intelligence) will transform in the next several years" -- Andrew NG I have long been fascinated with these algorithms, capable of something that we can as humans barely begin to comprehend. However, even with all these resources one of the biggest setbacks any ML practitioner has ever faced would be tuning the model's hyperparameters. A hyperparameter is a parameter whose value is used to control the learning process. By contrast, the values of other parameters (typically node weights) are learned. The same kind of machine learning model can be trained on different constraints, learning rates or kernels and other such parameters to generalize to different datasets, and hence these instructions have to be tuned so that the model can optimally solve the machine learning problem.
