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.

The phases of an engagement model

A very well-known modeling process is CRISP-DM for data mining and predictive analytics projects, and it involves six steps:

  1. Business understanding
  2. Data understanding
  3. Data preparation
  4. Modeling
  5. Evaluation
  6. Deployment

Each of these phases follows each other, and some of them happen in a recursive fashion by providing feedback to the preceding phase. The deployment phase is particularly important in terms of model monitoring and maintenance, which is the focus of this chapter.

Let's quickly look at each of these phases and their purpose in the overall process.

Business understanding

This is the phase where you fully focus on the business objectives in terms of project goals, scope, resources...
