> Choose a parameter for your compiler, xxx

Most interesting cases don't really look like this. The heuristic is applied to the user's code; it's not a one-time knob in the compiler. If it were, then you would likely be able to afford an exhaustive search to pick it & wouldn't need ml.

Depends on the domain.

The analogy I'm making doesn't especially apply to compilers, which have human defined defaults in the first place.

What I've found is that it's important to not run the ML model then use its output as the default state. Have a human, heuristic choice as the default state.
