Curating a list of AutoML-related research, tools, projects and other resources
AutoML is the tools and technology to use machine learning methods and processes to automate machine learning systems and make them more accessible. It existed for several decades so it's not a completely new idea.
Recent work by Google Brain and many others have re-kindled the enthusiasm of AutoML and some companies have already commercialized the technology. Thus, it has becomes one of the hosttest areas to look into.
There are many kinds of AutoML, including:
- Neural network architecture search
- Hyperparameter optimization
- Optimizer search
- Data augmentation search
- Learning to learn/Meta-learning
- And many more
