Patent number: 11062792Abstract: A facility for identifying combinations of feature and machine learning algorithm parameters, where each combination can be combined with one or more machine learning algorithms to train a model, is disclosed. The facility evaluates each genome based on the ability of a model trained using that genome and a machine learning algorithm to produce accurate results when applied to a validation data set by, for example, generating a fitness or validation score for the trained model and the corresponding genome used to train the model.
