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.

Support Vector Machines

SVM is a supervised ML algorithm used primarily for classification tasks, however, it can be used for regression problems as well.

What is SVM?

SVM is a classifier that works on the principle of separating hyperplanes. Given a training dataset, the algorithms find a hyperplane that maximizes the separation of the classes and uses these partitions for the prediction of a new dataset. The hyperplane is a subspace of one dimension less than its ambient plane. This means the line is a hyperplane for a two-dimensional dataset.
