Hyperparameter Tuning & Experiment Comparison
💡
Hey — It's Sandip Das 👋

Hyperparameter tuning and experiment comparison enable us to systematically optimize model performance while maintaining full reproducibility and traceability of every training run.

Mastering these practices with tools like MLflow helps build reliable, data-driven model selection workflows that scale from experimentation to production.

📚 Key Learnings

  • Understand the hyperparameter search problem and why it matters
  • Run Grid Search with cross-validation using scikit-learn
  • Run Random Search over 10 hyperparameter combinations
  • Log every search combination as a separate MLflow run
  • Compare experiments in the MLflow UI and identify the best run
