AutoML for Text, Image, and Tabular Data

AutoML for Text, Image, and Tabular Data

AutoGluon automates machine learning tasks enabling you to easily achieve strong predictive performance in your applications. With just a few lines of code, you can train and deploy high-accuracy machine learning and deep learning models on text, image, and tabular data.

Example

# First install package from terminal:
# python3 -m pip install -U pip
# python3 -m pip install -U setuptools wheel
# python3 -m pip install -U "mxnet<2.0.0"
# python3 -m pip install autogluon  # autogluon==0.2.0

from autogluon.tabular import TabularDataset, TabularPredictor
train_data = TabularDataset('https://autogluon.s3.amazonaws.com/datasets/Inc/train.csv')
test_data = TabularDataset('https://autogluon.s3.amazonaws.com/datasets/Inc/test.csv')
predictor = TabularPredictor(label='class').fit(train_data, time_limit=120)  # Fit models for 120s
leaderboard = predictor.leaderboard(test_data)

News

Announcement for previous users: The AutoGluon codebase has been modularized into namespace packages, which means you now only need those dependencies relevant to your prediction task of interest! For example, you can now work with tabular data without having to install dependencies required for AutoGluon's computer vision tasks (and vice versa). Unfortunately this improvement required a minor API change (eg. instead of from autogluon import TabularPrediction, you should now do: from autogluon.tabular import TabularPredictor), for all versions newer than v0.0.15. Documentation/tutorials under the old API may still be viewed for version 0.0.15 which is the last released version under the old API.
