auto-sklearn2 1.0.0

Python 3.11+ compatible version of auto-sklearn

Auto-Sklearn2

A Python 3.11+ compatible version of auto-sklearn for automated machine learning.

Overview

Auto-Sklearn2 is a lightweight, Python 3.11+ compatible alternative to the popular auto-sklearn package. It provides automated machine learning capabilities without the dependency on ConfigSpace, which currently has compatibility issues with newer Python versions and NumPy 2.0.

Features

• Python 3.11+ Compatible: Works with Python 3.11, 3.12, and 3.13
• Automated Machine Learning: Automatically selects the best model and preprocessing pipeline
• Classification and Regression: Supports both classification and regression tasks
• Time-Limited Optimization: Set a time budget for model selection
• Extensive Model Selection: Includes over 15 classification models and 20 regression models from scikit-learn
• Multiple Preprocessors: Includes StandardScaler, MinMaxScaler, and RobustScaler
• Cross-Validation: Uses cross-validation for model evaluation

Installation

pip install auto-sklearn2

Quick Start for Classification

from auto_sklearn2 import AutoSklearnClassifier
from sklearn.datasets import load_breast_cancer
from sklearn.model_selection import train_test_split

# Load data
X, y = load_breast_cancer(return_X_y=True)
X_train, X_test, y_train, y_test = train_test_split(X, y, test_size=0.2, random_state=42)

# Create and fit the auto-sklearn classifier
auto_sklearn = AutoSklearnClassifier(time_limit=120, random_state=42)
auto_sklearn.fit(X_train, y_train)

# Make predictions
y_pred = auto_sklearn.predict(X_test)

# Get the best model details
print(f"Best model: {auto_sklearn.best_params}")
print(f"Accuracy: {auto_sklearn.score(X_test, y_test):.4f}")

# Show all models performance
for model_name, score in auto_sklearn.get_models_performance().items():
    print(f"{model_name}: {score:.4f}")

Quick Start for Regression

from auto_sklearn2 import AutoSklearnRegressor
from sklearn.datasets import load_diabetes
from sklearn.model_selection import train_test_split
from sklearn.metrics import r2_score, mean_squared_error
import numpy as np

# Load data
X, y = load_diabetes(return_X_y=True)
X_train, X_test, y_train, y_test = train_test_split(X, y, test_size=0.2, random_state=42)

# Create and fit the auto-sklearn regressor
auto_sklearn = AutoSklearnRegressor(time_limit=120, random_state=42)
auto_sklearn.fit(X_train, y_train)

# Make predictions
y_pred = auto_sklearn.predict(X_test)

# Calculate metrics
r2 = r2_score(y_test, y_pred)
rmse = np.sqrt(mean_squared_error(y_test, y_pred))

print(f"Best model: {auto_sklearn.best_params}")
print(f"R² Score: {r2:.4f}")
print(f"Root Mean Squared Error: {rmse:.4f}")

# Show all models performance
for model_name, score in auto_sklearn.get_models_performance().items():
    print(f"{model_name}: {score:.4f}")

Differences from auto-sklearn

Auto-Sklearn2 is a simplified version of auto-sklearn with the following differences:

1. No ConfigSpace Dependency: Uses scikit-learn's built-in models and preprocessing methods
2. Python 3.11+ Compatible: Works with the latest Python versions
3. No Meta-Learning: Does not use meta-learning to warm-start the optimization
4. No Ensemble Building: Does not build ensembles of models
5. Simpler Hyperparameter Optimization: Uses cross-validation instead of Bayesian optimization
