 Welcome to DEHB, an algorithm for Hyperparameter Optimization (HPO). DEHB uses Differential Evolution (DE) under-the-hood as an Evolutionary Algorithm to power the black-box optimization that HPO problems pose.
 
 `dehb` is a python package implementing the [DEHB](https://arxiv.org/abs/2105.09821) algorithm. It offers an intuitive interface to optimize user-defined problems using DEHB.
