Why can't I Hyper tune my KNNBasic Algorithm?

I've been trying to hyper tuning my KNNBasic algorithm by the help of grid search for recommendation system for movie review data. The problem is that both of my KNNBasicTuned and KNNBasicUntuned shows the same result. Here is my code for KNNTuning.. I have tried the SVD algo tuning and it worked perfectly so all my libraries are working perfectly. However my all libraries are in my github linke : https://github.com/iSarcastic99/KNNBasicTuning

Code of KNNBasicTuning :

gs.fit(evaluationData)

• Hi and welcome to AI SE! You say "The problem is that both of my KNNBasicTuned and KNNBasicUntuned shows the same result.", but what do you mean by "result"?

• @nbro, Thanks for welcoming me. By result, I meant my RMSE and MAE score of both KNNBasicTuned and KNNBasicUntuned are same. Apr 7 '20 at 20:58
• All the parameters you set on the grid search are completely irrelevant for KNN. You probably get the same results cause you're always training the model with default parameters. The only parameters you can fine tune are k, min_k and eventually extra options (like the metric to use to compute the distances). Check the documentation link Apr 10 '20 at 1:20
• @EdoardoGuerriero, First thanks for trying to help. However, as you can see that i've used GridSearchCV and it requires the given parameters above. For more infor pls check the link here GridSearchCV Apr 10 '20 at 21:04
• @techPirate99 In a grid search you need to specify the parameters you want to tune, but a KNN is not trained using epochs, and it doesn't require a learning rate, it is not a neural network. I'll write an answer in an hour to show you what you can tune. Apr 10 '20 at 21:17
