Abstract: The process of identifying the optimal parameters for an optimization algorithm or a machine learning one is a costly combinatorial problem because it involves the search of a large, possibly infinite, space of candidate parameter sets. Our work compares grid search with a simple genetic algorithm when used to find the optimal parameter setting for an ID3 like learner operating on given datasets.
