Automated Machine Learning : Methods Systems Challenges 1 Hyperparameter Optimization 2 Meta Learning 3 Neural Architecture Search 4 Auto WEKA 5 Hyperopt Sklearn 6 Auto sklearn 7 Towards Automatically Tuned Deep Neural Networks 8 TPOT 9 The Automatic Statistician 10 AutoML Challenges This open access book presents the first comprehensive overview of general methods in Automated Machine Learning (AutoML) collects descriptions of existing systems based on these methods and discusses the first series of international challenges of AutoML systems. The recent success of commercial ML applications and the rapid growth of the field has created a high demand for off the shelf ML methods that can be used easily and without expert knowledge. However many of the recent machine learning successes crucially rely on human experts who manually select appropriate ML architectures (deep learning architectures or more traditional ML workflows) and their hyperparameters. To overcome this problem the field of AutoML targets a progressive automation of machine learning based on principles from optimization and machine learning itself. This book serves as a point of entry into this quickly developing field for researchers and advanced students alike as well as providing a reference for practitioners aiming to use AutoML in their work
