Experiment Configuration Agent for AutoGluon

This agent uses a Large Language Model to recommend optimal configurations for AutoGluon's TabularPredictor based on your machine learning problem context. By providing details about your domain, use case, and dataset, the agent will generate a set of TabularPredictor parameters designed to optimize for performance and efficiency.

Features

• Intelligent Configuration: Leverages LLMs to recommend eval_metric, presets, time_limit, and ensembling parameters.
• Context-Aware: Considers the business domain, specific use case, ML methodology (e.g., classification, regression), and dataset characteristics.
• Flexible Backend: Powered by sfn-blueprint, allowing for a configurable LLM backend.
• Multiple Scenarios: Provides recommendations for different optimization goals, such as maximizing accuracy, balancing performance and speed, or fast prototyping.

Installation

This project uses uv for dependency management and requires Python 3.10 or higher.

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/stepfnAI/experiment_config_agent.git
   cd experiment-configuration-agent
   

2. Set up the environment and install dependencies: It is recommended to use a virtual environment. uv can create one for you.

   # Create a virtual environment and install dependencies
   uv sync --extra dev
    source .venv/bin/activate
   

Usage

Basic usage

python ./examples/basic_usage.py

To get a configuration recommendation, instantiate the AutoGluonConfigAgent and pass a dictionary containing the problem context.

1. Create a .env file in the project root to configure the LLM provider. See the Configuration section for more details.

   PROVIDER="openai"
   MODEL="gpt-4-turbo"
   # Add your API key, e.g., OPENAI_API_KEY="sk-..."
   

2. Create your Python script:

   from experiment_configuration_agent.agent import AutoGluonConfigAgent
   
   # 1. Define the problem context
   task_data = {
       "domain": {
           "name": "Manufacturing",
           "description": "An automotive parts manufacturing facility with multiple production lines."
       },
       "use_case": {
           "name": "Predictive Maintenance",
           "description": "Detect unusual temporal patterns in sensor data to predict equipment failure and prevent breakdowns."
       },
       "methodology": "binary_classification",
       "dataset_insights": {
           "num_samples": 5000,
           "num_features": 10,
           "target": {
               "name": "failure_flag",
               "imbalance_ratio": 0.05 # Highly imbalanced
           },
           "feature_summary": {
               "sensor_A": {"min": 0.1, "max": 100.5, "dtype": "float"},
               "production_line_id": {"unique_count": 3, "dtype": "category"}
           }
       }
   }
   
   # 2. Initialize the agent
   agent = AutoGluonConfigAgent()
   
   # 3. Get the configuration recommendation
   result = agent(task_data)
   
   # 4. Print the result
   print("Recommended AutoGluon Configuration:")
   print(result.get("configuration"))
   print("\nCost Summary:")
   print(result.get("cost_summary"))
   

Configuration

The agent is configured via environment variables, which can be placed in a .env file in the project root. The primary configurations are inherited from the GluonConfig class.

• PROVIDER: The LLM provider to use (e.g., "openai", "anthropic").
• MODEL: The specific model to use (e.g., "gpt-4-turbo", "claude-3-opus-20240229").
• TEMPERATURE: The model's temperature setting (e.g., 0.3).
• MAX_TOKENS: The maximum number of tokens for the response (e.g., 4000).

You will also need to set the API key for your chosen provider, for example OPENAI_API_KEY="your-key-here".

Testing

This project uses pytest. To run the test suite, execute the following command from the project root:

pytest
