AutoML will not replace your data science profession

Many people who are already data scientists or new to the field of data science are looking at an answer to the question “Will AutoML (Automated Machine Learning) replace data scientists?” Asking a question like this is very reasonable because Automation has already been introduced to Machine Learning and it plays a key role in the modern world. In addition to that, people who want to become data scientists are thinking about ways to secure a spot in the job market for a long period of time.

AutoML will NOT replace your data science profession. It’s just here to make things easier for you, such as assisting you in boring repetitive tasks, saving your valuable time, assisting you in code maintenance and consistency, etc!

Let’s walk through the steps of a machine learning process to find out why. Read More

A ‘Glut’ of Innovation Spotted in Data Science and ML Platforms

These are heady days in data science and machine learning (DSML) according to Gartner, which identified a “glut” of innovation occurring in the market for DSML platforms. From established companies chasing AutoML or model governance to startups focusing on MLops or explainable AI, a plethora of vendors are simultaneously moving in all directions with their products as they seek to differentiate themselves amid a very diverse audience.

“The DSML market is simultaneously more vibrant and messier than ever,” a gaggle of Gartner analysts led by Peter Krensky wrote in the Magic Quadrant for DSML Platforms, which was published earlier this month. “The definitions and parameters of data science and data scientists continue to evolve, and the market is dramatically different from how it was in 2014, when we published the first Magic Quadrant on it.”

The 2021 Magic Quadrant for DSML is heavily represented by companies to the right of the axis, which anybody who’s familiar with Gartner’s quadrant-based assessment method knows represents the “completeness of vision.” No fewer than 13 of the 20 vendors to make the quadrant’s cut landed on the right side, which indicates active innovation.

A Multi-Part Series on AutoML

Over the previous couple of years, I’ve been holding tabs on the most recent choices within the endeavor autoML area. I’ve observed reside and faraway demos of a dozen programs all over this time. Developments on this area make holding up to the moment a problem as competition upload options and varnish up their interfaces often. Recently AWS SageMaker Studio Autopilot turned into to be had, so I’ve a suite of industrial circumstances I need to run by way of it. For this text, I’m working tabular Kaggle datasets throughout the Autopilot function and sharing the person revel in.

Low-code platforms and the democratization of AI

Tech giants like IBM and Amazon are developing products that will make it easier for people without a coding background to build apps that integrate with AI services.

Key Takeaway: Low-code and no-code platforms are seeing new life, as access to artificial intelligence and fast deployment of applications becomes increasingly critical with the popularity of Cloud-based software development. These products enable those without a coding background to more easily access the benefits of AI. Read More

Low-Code Can Lower the Barrier to Entry for AI

Organizations that want to get started quickly with machine learning may be interested in investigating emerging low-code options for AI. While low-code techniques will never completely replace hand-coded systems, they can help accelerate smaller, less experienced data science teams, as well as help with prototyping for professional data scientists.

First of all, what is low-code? Well, the phrase can mean different things to different people, and its applicability to AI is not entirely nailed down. Mainstream developers have been using low-code (or no-code) approaches to creating business and consumer applications for years, and that largely forms the basis for low-code approaches in AI.

Why Best-of-Breed is a Better Choice than All-in-One Platforms for Data Science

All-in-one platforms built from open source software make it easy to perform certain workflows, but make it hard to explore and grow beyond those boundaries.

So you need to redesign your company’s data infrastructure.

Do you buy a solution from a big integration company like IBM, Cloudera, or Amazon?  Do you engage many small startups, each focused on one part of the problem?  A little of both?  We see trends shifting towards focused best-of-breed platforms. That is, products that are laser-focused on one aspect of the data science and machine learning workflows, in contrast to all-in-one platforms that attempt to solve the entire space of data workflows.

This article, which examines this shift in more depth, is an opinionated result of countless conversations with data scientists about their needs in modern data science workflows. Read More

AutoML-Zero: Evolving Machine Learning Algorithms From Scratch

Machine learning research has advanced in multiple aspects, including model structures and learning methods. The effort to automate such research, known as AutoML, has also made significant progress. However, this progress has largely focused on the architecture of neural networks, where it has relied on sophisticated expert-designed layers as building blocks—or similarly restrictive search spaces. Our goal is to show that AutoML can go further: it is possible today to automatically discover complete machine learning algorithms just using basic mathematical
operations as building blocks. We demonstrate this by introducing a novel framework that significantly reduces human bias through a generic search space. Despite the vastness of this space, evolutionary search can still
discover two-layer neural networks trained by backpropagation. These simple neural networks can then be surpassed by evolving directly on tasks of interest, e.g. CIFAR-10 variants, where modern techniques emerge in
the top algorithms, such as bilinear interactions, normalized gradients, and weight averaging. Moreover, evolution adapts algorithms to different task types: e.g., dropout-like techniques appear when little data is available. We
believe these preliminary successes in discovering machine learning algorithms from scratch indicate a promising new direction for the field. Read More

Automated machine learning or AutoML explained

The two biggest barriers to the use of machine learning (both classical machine learning and deep learning) are skills and computing resources. You can solve the second problem by throwing money at it, either for the purchase of accelerated hardware (such as computers with high-end GPUs) or for the rental of compute resources in the cloud (such as instances with attached GPUs, TPUs, and FPGAs).

On the other hand, solving the skills problem is harder. Data scientists often command hefty salaries and may still be hard to recruit. Google was able to train many of its employees on its own TensorFlow framework, but most companies barely have people skilled enough to build machine learning and deep learning models themselves, much less teach others how.
