[BioC] How to best include hyperparameter optimization in MLInterfaces?

Hi,

I am currently working with MLInterfaces and have a question regarding the optimization of hyperparameters of the learning functions (that are given to MLearn by the .methods parameter). Is it somehow possible to do optimization of hyperparameters, e.g the k in knn? Or in other words is it intended to have hyperparameter optimization included in MLInterfaces?

Thank you very much!
