Definition

AutoML (Automated Machine Learning) streamlines the development of ML models by automating tasks such as data preprocessing, feature engineering, model selection, and hyperparameter tuning. It enables non-experts to build effective models quickly while allowing experts to accelerate experimentation. By searching through vast spaces of possible configurations, AutoML identifies optimal pipelines for specific datasets. This democratizes access to advanced analytics and improves reproducibility in model development.
