SHERPA is a Python library for hyperparameter tuning of machine learning models. It provides:

* hyperparameter optimization for machine learning researchers
* a choice of hyperparameter optimization algorithms
* parallel computation that can be fitted to the user's needs
* a live dashboard for the exploratory analysis of results.

The documentation at http://parameter-sherpa.readthedocs.io/ provides installation instructions for parallel hyperparameter
optimizations and using the different optimization algorithms. See below for
a short example on what working with SHERPA looks like.
