Totally Tidy Tuning Tools:

Many machine learning models have hyperparameters whose values cannot be analytically estimated from the data. For example, the number of neighbors in a nearest-neighbor classification model. The tidymodels collection or R packages are a tidyverse interface to modeling. In this talk, the new tune package will be introduced. Examples of the tidy interface to model tuning will be demonstrated.

Max Kuhn is a software engineer with RStudio and formerly of Pfizer. Max is a leader in the R community on predictive modelling. He is the author of the caret package and the book Applied Predictive Modelling. (https://resources.rstudio.com/authors/max-kuhn)
