What is random search?

Can you explain what random search is?

Sure! Random search is an optimization technique that randomly samples points in the search space to find the best solution.

How does it compare to grid search?

Unlike grid search, which evaluates all combinations systematically, random search samples randomly, which can be more efficient.

In what scenarios is random search preferred?

It's preferred when the search space is large and complex, as it can explore more diverse areas without being exhaustive.

Are there any downsides to using random search?

Yes, it can be less reliable than other methods since it may miss optimal solutions if they are in less sampled areas.
