Resumen/Abstract  

Machine learning methods have gained significant popularity in recent times for addressing problems across various fields. While employing machine learning libraries or pre-implemented methods is straightforward, it is critical to delve deeper into the challenges that affect these methods and employ specific techniques to overcome them. Equally important is the ability to correctly interpret results and make informed decisions when utilizing a machine learning model for problem-solving. The upcoming presentation will cover three main topics: 1. A brief overview of machine learning and its key challenges. 2. An introduction to evolutionary algorithms, including genetic and breeder algorithms, along with nature-inspired metaheuristics such as ant and wasp-based algorithms. 3. Addressing the machine learning model selection problem, exemplified by the optimal selection of Support Vector Machine (SVM) and Support Vector Regression (SVR) hyperparameters using evolutionary algorithms and a wasp optimization algorithm. The presentation is flexible, adjusting its focus to align with the audience's interests, knowledge levels, and familiarity with the topics discussed in this talk.
