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.

Summary

In this chapter, you learned how to get started with the Microsoft Azure platform, the ML services ecosystem capabilities, and learned about Microsoft's AI and ML offerings. You were also briefed on different capabilities within the Azure platform, such as collaborative notebooks, drag and drop ML, MLOPS, RStudio integration, reinforcement learning, enterprise-grade security, automated ML, data labeling, autoscaling compute, integration with other Azure services, responsible ML, and cost management. Finally, to test your newly discovered Azure superpowers, you configured, built, deployed, and tested a classification web service using an Azure Machine Learning notebook.

In the next chapter, we will further dive into using the automated ML features of the Azure Machine Learning service.
