LALE: A Python Library Simplifying Automated Machine Learning

Add as a preferredsource on Google

Whenever any data scientist thinks of developing a pipeline, they try bringing automated machine learning into the picture to make the task easier. However, due to inconsistent syntax and limited support for advanced features like topology search or higher-order operators, the development becomes tedious. Introducing a solution to this, IBM Research, USA has published a research paper on ‘LALE’: high-level Python interfaces’ library, which simplifies automated machine learning. 

The research tends to overcome the following shortcomings of previous research on the inconsistency of Auto-ML libraries: 

1. There is inconsistency in pipeline specification syntax across the manual and automated spectrum. 
2. User needs to learn different syntax to rewrite the code while switching between various Auto-ML tools. 
3. Previous tools do not optimize the topology of the pipeline. 
4. Invalid configuration while combining different hyperparameters 

Characteristics of LALE: 

• LALE helps in selecting algorithms and tune hyperparameters of pipelines, compatible with scikit-learn. 
• LALE provides a highly consistent interface to existing tools such as Hyperopt, SMAC, and GridSearchCV for automation. 
• LALE uses JSON schema for checking correctness. 
• LALE has an expanding library of estimators and transformers for interoperability. 
• LALE uses Python subclassing to implement lifecycle states

 Users can install LALE just like any other Python package and edit it with off-the-shelf Python tools such as Jupyter notebooks.
