Automated Machine Learning: Myth Versus Realty – #ODSC - Open Data Science – Medium

Witnessing the data science field's meteoric rise in demand across pretty much all industries and areas of scientific research, it's easy to anticipate efforts to create shortcuts to satisfy the need for more data science practitioners. The current trend of automated machine learning is a great case in point. This article will touch on a number of efforts to circumvent the need for data scientists to select and train machine learning models and determine metrics for measuring their performance. The search for automated approaches in computer science is not new. I can remember as far back as the 1980s when the birth of the Personal Computer triggered a steep advance in the demand for programmers to develop software for the small machines.
