What is hyperparameter optimization in machine learning?

Tuning knobs like learning rate or tree count to boost model performance beyond defaults. Manual sucks; automate it.

Grid search vs random search vs Bayesian optimization—which is best?

Grid: exhaustive, slow. Random: fast, effective for high dims. Bayesian: smartest for expensive evals. Pick by budget and cost per trial.

Yes, shines there—hours per fit make smarts essential. Tools like Optuna handle it.

Your model hits 85% accuracy out of the box. But hyperparameter optimization can push it to 91%. Grid? Wasteful. Random? Meh. Bayesian? Smart.
