Thanks for the PR @SebastienMelo! Here are a couple of suggestions of more in-depth rewording.

- A grid-search is expensive and does not scale when the number of
hyperparameters to optimize increase. Besides, the combination are sampled
hyperparameters to optimize increase. Additionally, the combination are sampled
only on a regular grid.

This whole paragraph can be improved to avoid a possible confusion with mathematical scaling. How about something in the line of:

  • A grid-search can be computationally expensive and becomes less attractive as
    the number of hyperparameters to explore increases. Moreover, the combinations
    are sampled on a fixed, regular grid.

Comment on lines 14 to 16
- A randomized-search allows a search with a fixed budget even with an
increasing number of hyperparameters. Besides, the combination are sampled
increasing number of hyperparameters. Additionally, the combination are sampled
on a non-regular grid.

  • A randomized-search allows exploring within a fixed budget, even as the number
    of hyperparameters increases. In this case, combinations can be sampled either
    on a regular grid or from a given distribution.
