Introduction

Abstract

Bartz & Bartz GmbH initiated the methods described in this book to achieve better results in hyperparameter tuning faster, with less effort and costs. Because, let’s face it, computational time entails a number of costs. First and foremost it entails the time of the researcher, furthermore a lot of energy. All this equals money. So if we manage to achieve better results in hyperparameter tuning in less time, everybody profits. On a larger scale the methods described may contribute a small part to address some of the challenges we face as a society.
