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.

Using H2O AutoML and Spring Boot

In today’s times, most software services that are created are hosted on the internet, where they can be made accessible to all internet users. All of this is done using web applications hosted on web servers. Even prediction services that use ML can be made available to the public by hosting them on web applications.

The Spring Framework is one of the most commonly used open source web application frameworks to create websites and web applications. It is based on the Java platform and, as such, can be run on any system with a JVM. Spring Boot is an extension of the Spring Framework that provides a preconfigured setup for your web application out of the box. This helps you quickly set up your web application without the need to implement the underlying pipelining needed to configure and host your web service.

So, let’s dive into the implementation by understanding the problem statement.
