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.

ML in the AWS landscape

Gartner is among a few major advisory companies that regularly review the landscape of technology and provide a comprehensive overview of their findings in their Magic Quadrant reports. In its latest release, the Magic Quadrant contains Anaconda and Altair as niche players, Microsoft, DataRobot, KNIME, Google, H2O.ai, RapidMiner, and Domino as visionaries, IBM as a challenger, and Alteryx, SAS, Databricks, MathWorks, TIBCO, and Dataiku as leaders in the data science and ML space.

It is surprising for us to not see AWS mentioned here. There are six companies in the leadership quadrant due to their consistent record of data science and AI solution deliveries, and seven are classified as visionaries. However, AWS not making it to the visionaries and/or the leaders quadrant is attributed to the announcement delay. The AWS flagship AI products SageMaker Studio and SageMaker Autopilot were announced after the deadline for Gartner submission; hence they didn&apos...
