Machine Learning Automation with TPOT

By: Dario Radečić

Overview of this book

The automation of machine learning tasks allows developers more time to focus on the usability and reactivity of the software powered by machine learning models. TPOT is a Python automated machine learning tool used for optimizing machine learning pipelines using genetic programming. Automating machine learning with TPOT enables individuals and companies to develop production-ready machine learning models cheaper and faster than with traditional methods. With this practical guide to AutoML, developers working with Python on machine learning tasks will be able to put their knowledge to work and become productive quickly. You'll adopt a hands-on approach to learning the implementation of AutoML and associated methodologies. Complete with step-by-step explanations of essential concepts, practical examples, and self-assessment questions, this book will show you how to build automated classification and regression models and compare their performance to custom-built models. As you advance, you'll also develop state-of-the-art models using only a couple of lines of code and see how those models outperform all of your previous models on the same datasets. By the end of this book, you'll have gained the confidence to implement AutoML techniques in your organization on a production level.

Chapter 8: TPOT Model Deployment

In this chapter, you'll learn how to deploy any automated machine learning model, both to localhost and the cloud. You'll learn why the deployment step is necessary if you aim to make machine learning-powered software. It's assumed you know how to train basic regression and classification models with TPOT. Knowledge of the topics of the last couple of chapters (Dask and neural networks) isn't required, as we won't deal with those here.

Throughout the chapter, you'll learn how easy it is to wrap your models in an API and expose their predictive capabilities to other users that aren't necessarily data scientists. You'll also learn which cloud providers are the best to get you started entirely for free.

This chapter will cover the following topics:

  • Why do we need model deployment?
  • Introducing Flask and Flask-RESTful
  • Best practices for deploying automated models
  • Deploying machine learning...
