A hands-on guide to automating data and modeling pipelines for faster machine learning applications
Key Features
- Build automated modules for different machine learning components
- Develop in-depth understanding for each component of a machine learning pipeline
- Learn to use different open source AutoML and feature engineering platforms
Book Description
AutoML is designed to automate parts of machine learning. The readily available AutoML tools are easing the tasks of Data Science practitioners and are being well-received in the advanced analytics community. This book covers the necessary foundations needed to create automated machine learning modules, and how you can get up to speed with them in the most practical way possible.
You will learn to automate different tasks in the machine learning pipeline such as data pre-processing, feature selection, model training, model optimization and much more. The book also demonstrates you how to use the already available automation libraries such as auto-sklearn and auto-weka, or create and extend your own custom AutoML components for machine learning.
By the end of this book, you will have a clearer understanding of what the different aspects of automated machine learning are, and incorporate the automation tasks using practical datasets. The learning you get from this book can be leveraged to implement machine learning in your projects or get a step closer to win various machine learning competitions.
