Shattering 5 Misconceptions about Automated Machine Learning

By Sachin Andhare

Ask data engineers about the most frustrating part of their job and the answer will most likely include “data preparation.”  Talk to a data scientist about the AI/ML workflow and what bogs them down, the answer invariably will be feature engineering. Analytics and data science leaders are well aware of the limitations of current AI/ML development platforms. They often lament about their team's ability to only manage a few projects per year. BI leaders, on the other hand, have been trying to embed predictive analytics in their dashboards but face the daunting task of learning how to build AI/ML models. Automated machine learning (AutoML) was built specifically to address some of the challenges of data science - the underlying practice at the heart of both problems. Like every new technology, there is a lot of confusion surrounding AutoML. Here are the top 5 misconceptions about AutoML: 1. AutoML means selecting the algorithms…
