Hyperparameter tuning is a systematic procedure for selecting the optimal hyperparameters — configuration settings that govern the training process of a model — by searching a defined space of possible values. The practice persists through documentation, automated tooling, and scientific literature. [formal: hyperparameter tuning | substrate: behavior | horizon: hours | explicit: yes | epoch: 0.01]

Remove machine learning — hyperparameter tuning stops operating, because there are no ML models whose hyperparameters to tune. The removal test passes: the practice exists solely to configure ML models, and without ML it has no domain or purpose.

Hyperparameter tuning IS a specific kind of optimization — it systematically adjusts model hyperparameters to optimize performance metrics. A competent speaker calls it an optimization process. Specific→general.
