Fine-tuning parameters for existing methods I'm comparing my method against existing methods by doing some experiments on one dataset.
The existing methods do not provide results on the considered dataset.
My question is: Can I use default parameters from the existing methods? The fact is that there are plenty of existing methods and it will take a lot of time to fine-tune for each existing method.
Thank you.

Yes, but should you? Default parameters are unlikely to provide optimal performance, so you may like to try various parameters.
