Automated Machine Learning

Overview of this book

Every machine learning engineer deals with systems that have hyperparameters, and the most basic task in automated machine learning (AutoML) is to automatically set these hyperparameters to optimize performance. The latest deep neural networks have a wide range of hyperparameters for their architecture, regularization, and optimization, which can be customized effectively to save time and effort. This book reviews the underlying techniques of automated feature engineering, model and hyperparameter tuning, gradient-based approaches, and much more. You'll discover different ways of implementing these techniques in open source tools and then learn to use enterprise tools for implementing AutoML in three major cloud service providers: Microsoft Azure, Amazon Web Services (AWS), and Google Cloud Platform. As you progress, you’ll explore the features of cloud AutoML platforms by building machine learning models using AutoML. The book will also show you how to develop accurate models by automating time-consuming and repetitive tasks in the machine learning development lifecycle. By the end of this machine learning book, you’ll be able to build and deploy AutoML models that are not only accurate, but also increase productivity, allow interoperability, and minimize feature engineering tasks.

Getting started with Google Cloud AutoML Tables

AutoML Tables helps harness the insights in your structured data. In any large enterprise, there are multiple modalities of data, including structured, unstructured, and semi-structured data. For most organizations dealing with databases and transactions, there is indeed a lot of structured data out there. This data is quite suitable for advances analytics, and GCP's AutoML Tables is just the tool to help you automatically build and deploy machine learning models based on structured data.

AutoML Tables enables machine learning engineers and data scientists to automatically build and deploy state-of-the-art machine learning models on structured data faster than anyone could manually do. It automates modeling on a wide range of data types, from numbers and classes to strings, timestamps, lists, and nested fields. Google Cloud AutoML tables make this happen with minimal code. In this chapter, we will learn how to take an exported...
