Automated Machine Learning -- A Paradigm Shift That Accelerates Data Scientist Productivity @ Airbnb

A fair amount of our data science projects involve machine learning, and many parts of this workflow are repetitive. Model Diagnostics: Learning curves, partial dependence plots, feature importances, ROC and other diagnostics are extremely useful to generate automatically. AML is a powerful set of techniques for faster data exploration as well as improving model accuracy through model tuning and better diagnostics. The above case study highlights AML's capability to improve model accuracy, however we have realized AMLs other benefits as well.
