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.

Summary

You've learned a lot in this section – or had a brief recap, at least. You are now fresh on the concepts of machine learning, regression, classification, and automation. All of these are crucial for the following, more demanding sections.

The chapters after the next one will dive deep into the code, so you will get a full grasp of the library. Everything from the most basic regression and classification automation, to parallel training, neural networks, and model deployment will be discussed.

In the next chapter, we'll dive deep into the TPOT library, its use cases, and its underlying architecture. We will discuss the core principle behind TPOT – genetic programming – and how is it used to solve regression and classification tasks. We will also fully configure the environment for the Windows, macOS, and Linux operating systems.
