The goal of this project is to create a simple framework
for [hyperparameter](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperparameter_(machine_learning)) tuning of machine learning models,
like Neural Networks and Gradient Boosting Trees, using a genetic algorithm. Evaluating the fitness of an individual in
a population involves training a model with a specific set of hyperparameters, which is a time-consuming process. To
address this problem, we provide a controller-worker . Multiple workers can handle model training and cross-validation
of individuals provided by a controller while this controller manages the generation of offspring through reproduction
and mutation.
