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.

Understanding AutoML Tables model deployment

In order to deploy the model that we trained in the previous section, perform the following steps:

  1. We must click on the TEST & USE tab to deploy the model. There are multiple ways of testing the trained model: you can either test it as a batch prediction (file-based), as an online prediction (API), or export it in a Docker container. The option at the top of the page lets you toggle between online predictions via the REST API and batch predictions. This allows you to upload a CSV file or point to a BigQuery table and get prediction results for that entire file or table. Considering the amount of time it takes to use, AutoML Tables enables you to achieve a much higher level of model performance than you could reach manually. We will be doing online API-based prediction in this section:
