The hyperparameter



Example: Hyperparameter controls model behavior during training and optimization

Definition


"The hyperparameter" refers to a parameter set before the learning process begins in machine learning models, which controls model behavior during training and optimization without being updated by the model itself.

Etymology


The term "hyperparameter" combines 'hyper-', meaning 'over' or 'beyond', with 'parameter', indicating a variable that defines a system. It was coined in the context of machine learning to distinguish fixed configurations from parameters learned during training.
