-Description: Implements hyperband method for hyperparameter
-    tuning.  Various termination criteria can be set and combined. The
-    class 'AutoTuner' provides a convenient way to perform nested
-    resampling in combination with 'mlr3'. The hyperband algorithm was
-    proposed by Lisha Li, Kevin Jamieson, Giulia DeSalvo, Afshin
-    Rostamizadeh and Ameet Talwalkar (2018) <arXiv:1603.06560>.
