More on Fully Automated Machine Learning

Summary: Recently we've been profiling Automated Machine Learning (AML) platforms, both of the professional variety, and particularly those proprietary one-click-to-model variety that are being pitched to untrained analysts and line-of-business managers. Since our first article, readers have suggested some additional companies we should look at which are profiled here along with some interesting observations about who is buying and why. Recently we've written a series of articles on Automated Machine Learning (AML) which are platforms or packages designed to take over the most repetitive elements of preparing predictive models. Typically these cover cleaning, preprocessing, some feature engineering, feature selection, and then model creation using one or several algorithms including hyperparameter optimization. Most will then offer code export and an API for scoring. These are grouped into two major schools.
