wwu_tinker

wwu-tinker is an API webservice for hyperparamenter optimization. This free machine learning web service in Python with extensible APIs that researcher can use to tune hyperparameter configuraions.

A simple analogy on hyperparameter tuning. Imagine a recording studio with a sound booth that has devices with dozens of knobs.
The musicians create the music (the parameters), the sound technician adjusts the knobs on the soundboard (the hyperparameters), the output is the quality of music (the cost function). wwu-tinker is your sound technician of your machine learning projects who adjusts the soundboard to produce quality music.
