Follow a hands-on approach to AutoML implementation and associated methodologies and get to grips with automated machine learning

Key Features

• Get up to speed with AutoML using the platform of your choice, such as OSS, Azure, AWS, or GCP
• Eliminate mundane tasks in data engineering and reduce human errors in ML models that occur mainly due to manual steps
• Make machine learning accessible for all users, helping promote a decentralized process

Book Description

Every machine learning engineer deals with systems that have hyperparameters, and the most basic task in automated machine learning (AutoML) is to automatically set these hyperparameters to optimize performance. The latest deep neural networks have a wide range of hyperparameters for their architecture, regularization, and optimization, which can be customized effectively to save time and effort.

This book reviews the underlying techniques of automated feature engineering, model and hyperparameter tuning, gradient-based approaches, and more. You’ll explore different ways of implementing these techniques in open-source tools. Next, you’ll focus on enterprise tools, learning different ways of implementing AutoML in three major cloud service providers, including Microsoft Azure, Amazon Web Services (AWS), and the Google Cloud Platform. As you progress, you’ll explore the features of cloud AutoML platforms by building machine learning models using AutoML. Later chapters will show you how to develop accurate models by automating time-consuming and repetitive tasks involved in the machine learning development lifecycle.

By the end of this book, you’ll be able to build and deploy automated machine learning models that are not only accurate, but also increase productivity, allow interoperability, and minimize featuring engineering tasks.
