\u00a0 \u00a0<\/p>\n Automated machine learning is a fundamental shift to machine learning and data science. Data science as it stands today, is resource-intensive, expensive and challenging. It requires skills which are in high demand. Automated Machine learning may not quite lead to the beach lifestyle for the data scientist \u2013 but automated machine learning will fundamentally change the job of a data scientist. It\u2019s an irony that AI \/ ML could replace many jobs \u2013 and the first it seems is that of the data scientist himself! But we have been there before. In the 90s and 2000 we had CASE tools<\/a>. Managers loved them because they were supposed to replace those expensive Programmers. That has not happened. So, would automated machine learning be any different?<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n Automated machine learning solves a different problem.\u00a0 It does not advocate zero human intervention for data science (data in \u2013 model out).\u00a0 More specifically, automated machine learning solves three technical problems: feature engineering, model selection and hyperparameter tuning<\/strong>. We do not discuss these here because you can find a lot about them by searching the Web. Rather, we see how fast automated machine learning is advancing<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n Last week, Google launched an AI platform for collaborative machine learning<\/a>. It points to how rapidly automated machine learning is moving. Here are some key takeaways which \u00a0point to its rapid growith<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n In a weekend post Charles Givre pointed out that AutoML came second in a Kaggle contest<\/a>. This is indeed impressive(albeit a bit contrived). At the moment, I believe AutoML is not poised to address the top 10% of the solutions (which require skill and design) \u2013 but this development shows how far AutoML has come already<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n So, what can we expect of AutoML in the near future? Based on the Google AtoML announcement webinar<\/a> which I watched \u2013 here are seven ways in which the Data Scientist\u2019s job will change<\/p>\n<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n \u00a0 Image source:\u00a0Google AtoML announcement webinar<\/a>\u00a0<\/p>\n Image source:Beach<\/p>\n https:\/\/www.bvca.co.uk\/Media-and-publications\/Case-Studies\/Technology-media-and-telecoms\/On-the-Beach<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n Go to Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<\/a><\/p>\n
