Broadening AI Adoption with AutoML
Adoption of AI has been slowed the challenges involved in obtaining performant models, which require significant expertise and effort, and the limited number of practitioners with machine learning expertise. Automated machine learning (AutoML) eliminates the routine steps in the machine learning workflow, thus empowering domain experts without machine learning background to build good initial models, and allowing experienced practitioners to focus additional manual model optimization. This talk describes the extent of automation available for the various steps and demonstrates AutoML with a classifier for human activities based on accelerometer sensor data.
