Title
Bandit-Based Automated Machine Learning
Abstract
Machine Learning (ML) has been successfully applied to a wide range of domains and applications. Since the number of ML applications is growing, there is a need for tools that boost the data scientist's productivity. Automated Machine Learning (AutoML) is the field of ML that aims to address these needs through the development of solutions which enable data science practitioners, experts and non-experts, to efficiently create fine-tuned predictive models with minimum intervention. In this paper, we present the application of the multi-armed bandit optimization algorithm Hyperband to address the AutoML problem of generating customized classification workflows, a combination of preprocessing methods and ML algorithms including hyperparameter optimization. Experimental results comparing the bandit-based approach against Auto ML Bayesian Optimization methods show that this new approach is superior to the state-of-the-art methods in the test evaluation and equivalent to them in a statistical analysis.
