What hyperparameters are
How they are different from model parameters
And why to tune them
How tuning works in three R packages:
caret
mlr
h2o
Cartesian Grid Search
Random Search
Adaptive Resampling
Automatic Machine Learning
Evaluating tuning results with performance metrics
Stopping criteria
Find best hyperparameter set for your models
