Practical Automated Machine Learning Using H2O.ai

By: Salil Ajgaonkar

Overview of this book

With the huge amount of data being generated over the internet and the benefits that Machine Learning (ML) predictions bring to businesses, ML implementation has become a low-hanging fruit that everyone is striving for. The complex mathematics behind it, however, can be discouraging for a lot of users. This is where H2O comes in – it automates various repetitive steps, and this encapsulation helps developers focus on results rather than handling complexities. You’ll begin by understanding how H2O’s AutoML simplifies the implementation of ML by providing a simple, easy-to-use interface to train and use ML models. Next, you’ll see how AutoML automates the entire process of training multiple models, optimizing their hyperparameters, as well as explaining their performance. As you advance, you’ll find out how to leverage a Plain Old Java Object (POJO) and Model Object, Optimized (MOJO) to deploy your models to production. Throughout this book, you’ll take a hands-on approach to implementation using H2O that’ll enable you to set up your ML systems in no time. By the end of this H2O book, you’ll be able to train and use your ML models using H2O AutoML, right from experimentation all the way to production without a single need to understand complex statistics or data science.

Understanding H2O AutoML integration in scikit-learn

Scikit-learn is one of the most commonly used open source ML libraries in the field of ML and data science. It is a library for the Python programming language and focuses on ML tooling functions. It involves modules that perform mathematical and statistical analysis, general-purpose ML algorithms, as well as functions to train, test, and evaluate ML models.

Scikit-learn was originally developed by David Cournapeau and was initially called scikits.learn. It was created as a Google Summer of Code project in 2007, which was later picked up as a thesis project by Matthieu Brucher that same year. It was later re-written and further developed by Fabian Pedregosa, Gael Varoquaux, Alexandre Gramfort, and Vincent Michel from the French Institute of Research in Computer Science and Automation in Rocquencourt, France. Scikit-learn’s first public release of version 1 was made on February 1, 2010.
