Description: Neural network hyperparameters are the parameters that are set before the training process begins. These parameters are crucial for the model’s performance, as they determine the structure and behavior of the network. Unlike model parameters, which are adjusted during training through optimization algorithms, hyperparameters must be defined manually and can include elements such as learning rate, number of hidden layers, number of neurons in each layer, type of activation function, and batch size. The appropriate choice of these hyperparameters can significantly influence the network’s ability to generalize to unseen data, as well as the speed and effectiveness of the training process. Therefore, hyperparameter optimization is an essential part of developing deep learning models, and is often performed using techniques such as grid search or random search. In the context of machine learning frameworks, hyperparameters can be easily adjusted using built-in tools that allow developers to experiment with different configurations and assess their impact on model performance.
