optimisers
Those who refine
Optimisers is the British spelling of optimizers—people or things that make something as effective or efficient as possible.
In computing, an optimiser is software or a component that improves code performance or resource allocation.
In machine learning, optimisers are algorithms that adjust model parameters to minimize error: The Adam optimiser converges faster than basic gradient descent.
