 * Home * Automated Tuning * CLOP**

a program used for parameter tuning, created by Rémi Coulom. The CLOP principle, which stands for [|Confident] [|Local OPtimization], is an approach to [|local regression] that overcomes problems with very [|noisy] outputs and nonnegative [|Hessians] in a simple and efficient way. CLOP is suited to tune several parameters simultaneously, and requires polynomial [|time] for each additional parameter to verify the tuned values, that is playing a lot of games.
