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.

Automated ML – an accelerator for enterprise advanced analytics

While building your AI playbook and reimagining the AI talent strategy for your organization, you should consider automated ML as an accelerator. The following are some of the reasons why you would want to consider using automated ML for your organization.

The democratization of AI with human-friendly insights

Automated ML is rapidly becoming an inherent part of all major ML and deep learning platforms and will play an important part in democratizing advanced analytics. All major platforms tout these capabilities, but for it to be an accelerator for an enterprise, automated ML must play an important role in the democratization of AI. The toolset should enable a citizen data scientist to perform daunting ML tasks with ease and get human-friendly insights. Anything short of explainable, transparent, and repeatable AI and automated ML would not be the advanced analytics accelerator you had hoped for.
