Hands-On Automated Machine Learning

By: Sibanjan Das, Umit Mert Cakmak

Overview of this book

AutoML is designed to automate parts of Machine Learning. Readily available AutoML tools are making data science practitioners’ work easy and are received well in the advanced analytics community. Automated Machine Learning covers the necessary foundation needed to create automated machine learning modules and helps you get up to speed with them in the most practical way possible. In this book, you’ll learn how to automate different tasks in the machine learning pipeline such as data preprocessing, feature selection, model training, model optimization, and much more. In addition to this, it demonstrates how you can use the available automation libraries, such as auto-sklearn and MLBox, and create and extend your own custom AutoML components for Machine Learning. By the end of this book, you will have a clearer understanding of the different aspects of automated Machine Learning, and you’ll be able to incorporate automation tasks using practical datasets. You can leverage your learning from this book to implement Machine Learning in your projects and get a step closer to winning various machine learning competitions.

Summary

The ML and its automation journey are long. The aim of this chapter was to familiarize ourselves with machine learning concepts; most importantly, the scikit-learn and other Python packages, so that we can smoothly accelerate our learning in the next chapters, create a linear regression model and six classification models, and learn about clustering techniques and compare the models with each other.

We used a single HR attrition dataset for creating all classifiers. We observed that there are many similarities in these codes. The libraries imported are all similar except the one used to instantiate the machine learning class. The data preprocessing module is redundant in all code. The machine learning technique changes based on the task and data of the target attribute. Also, the evaluation methodology is equivalent to the similar type of ML methods.
