Title: Automated Machine Learning using OpenML
Abstract:
Algorithm Selection and Hyperparameter Optimization are two laborious but viable components of the Machine Learning pipeline. The field of Automated Machine Learning (AutoML) focuses, as the name suggests, on automating these processes. Automated Machine Learning builds upon knowledge from previous experiments. In this talk I will introduce OpenML.org, an on line platform containing almost 10 million Machine Learning experiments and 20.000 monthly unique visitors. Furthermore, I will talk about some of the projects that utilize this knowledge, in particular for determining which hyperparameters are most important and how to optimize them based on prior knowledge.
