   In machine learning, what is the primary purpose of hyperparameter tuning?

   • ATo reduce the number of features in the dataset to simplify the model
   • BTo find the optimal configuration of settings that control the learning process and model complexity
   • CTo adjust the values of weights and biases learned from the training data
   • DTo increase the size of the training dataset to improve model accuracy

   A team is tuning a model with a very large hyperparameter space. They have a fixed compute budget and want to maximize the chance of finding a good configuration. They are considering random search with N iterations versus grid search with a similar number of evaluations. Which statement is true?

   • ABoth are equally efficient in high-dimensional spaces.
   • BRandom search is more efficient because it explores a wider variety of values for each hyperparameter.
   • CGrid search is always better when the number of hyperparameters is small.
   • DGrid search is more efficient because it covers the space systematically.
