Automating the full Data Science pipeline
Building a good machine learning model end-to-end requires creativity but it also includes several tedious, repetitive, time-consuming, or error-prone steps. Several flavors of AutoML -- frameworks to automate building machine learning models -- have been proposed but they mostly focused on feature generation and frequently ignored meta-data and domain knowledge. In this talk, we present an end-to-end data science pipeline automation that includes feature generation, feature selection, sample building, model creation, hyperband parameter tuning, taking advantage of domain and meta-data knowledge. We evaluate several algorithmic choices and show order-of-magnitude benefits vs human generated models.
