AutoML (Automated Machine Learning)
Automate model selection and tuning.
Let AI build AI models for you.
What is AutoML?
Automatically find best model and hyperparameters.
**Goal**: Make ML accessible to non-experts!
Why AutoML?
**Speed**: Try hundreds of models automatically **Accuracy**: Often beats manual tuning **Efficiency**: Saves data scientist time
AutoML with Auto-sklearn
Install: ```bash pip install auto-sklearn ```
Use it: ```python import autosklearn.classification from sklearn.model_selection import train_test_split from sklearn.datasets import load_digits
Load data X, y = load_digits(return_X_y=True) X_train, X_test, y_train, y_test = train_test_split(X, y, random_state=42)
AutoML automl = autosklearn.classification.AutoSklearnClassifier( time_left_for_this_task=120, # 2 minutes per_run_time_limit=30 ) automl.fit(X_train, y_train)
Test score = automl.score(X_test, y_test) print(f"Accuracy: {score:.2f}")
See best model print(automl.show_models()) ```
AutoML with TPOT
```python from tpot import TPOTClassifier
AutoML with genetic programming tpot = TPOTClassifier( generations=5, population_size=20, verbosity=2, random_state=42 ) tpot.fit(X_train, y_train)
Test print(f"Score: {tpot.score(X_test, y_test):.2f}")
Export best pipeline tpot.export('best_model.py') ```
Popular AutoML Tools
**Auto-sklearn**: Based on scikit-learn **TPOT**: Genetic programming approach **H2O AutoML**: Enterprise solution **Google AutoML**: Cloud-based **AutoKeras**: For deep learning
When to Use AutoML
**Good for**: Quick prototypes, baseline models **Not ideal for**: Very specialized problems, when you need full control
Remember
- AutoML saves time on model selection - Still need good data and feature engineering - Great for getting started quickly - Understand the basics before using AutoML
