Overview of this book

Every machine learning engineer deals with systems that have hyperparameters, and the most basic task in automated machine learning (AutoML) is to automatically set these hyperparameters to optimize performance. The latest deep neural networks have a wide range of hyperparameters for their architecture, regularization, and optimization, which can be customized effectively to save time and effort. This book reviews the underlying techniques of automated feature engineering, model and hyperparameter tuning, gradient-based approaches, and much more. You'll discover different ways of implementing these techniques in open source tools and then learn to use enterprise tools for implementing AutoML in three major cloud service providers: Microsoft Azure, Amazon Web Services (AWS), and Google Cloud Platform. As you progress, you’ll explore the features of cloud AutoML platforms by building machine learning models using AutoML. The book will also show you how to develop accurate models by automating time-consuming and repetitive tasks in the machine learning development lifecycle. By the end of this machine learning book, you’ll be able to build and deploy AutoML models that are not only accurate, but also increase productivity, allow interoperability, and minimize feature engineering tasks.

Automated machine learning for price prediction

So far, you have seen how AutoML Tables can be used for classification problems; that is, finding classes in a dataset. Now, let's do some regression; that is, predicting values. To do this, we will use the house sales prediction dataset. The King County house sales dataset contains prices for King County, which includes Seattle. The dataset can be downloaded from Kaggle at https://www.kaggle.com/harlfoxem/housesalesprediction.

For this experiment, our goal is to predict a house's sale value (price) by using 21 features and 21,613 observations or data points:

  1. Let's start in AI Platform by clicking on the CREATE DATASET button on the main page:

    Here, you must choose a dataset name and region, as shown in the following screenshot. Set the dataset's type to tabular since it currently has classification and regression automated...
