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

This was the second hands-on chapter in the book. You've learned how to solve classification machine learning tasks in an automated fashion with two in-depth examples on well-known datasets. Without any kind of doubt, you are now ready to use TPOT to solve any type of classification problem.

By now, you know how to solve regression and classification tasks. But what about parallel training? What about neural networks? The following chapter, Chapter 5, Parallel Training with TPOT and Dask, will teach you what parallel training is and how to utilize it with TPOT. Later, in Chapter 6, Getting Started with Deep Learning – Crash Course in Neural Networks, you'll reinforce your knowledge of basic deep learning and neural networks. As the icing on the cake, you'll learn how to use deep learning with TPOT in Chapter 7, Neural Network Classifier with TPOT.

Please feel encouraged to practice solving classification problems automatically with tools and techniques...
