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.

Deploying machine learning models to the cloud

Cloud deployment of machine learning models means creating a cloud virtual machine, transferring our API to it, and running it. It's a tedious process that gets easier with repetition since a lot of steps are involved. If you follow every step precisely from this section, everything will work fine. Just make sure not to miss any minor details:

  1. To start, head over to https://portal.aws.amazon.com/billing/signup#/start and create an account (assuming you don't already have one). Here's what the website currently looks like (as of February 2021):

    The registration process will take some time, and you will have to enter your credit card information. Don't worry; we'll create entirely free virtual machine instances so you won't be charged a dime.

  2. Once the registration process is complete, click on the Launch a virtual machine With EC2 option:
