AutoML with SmartCore

AutoML (Automated Machine Learning) streamlines machine learning workflows, making them more accessible and efficient for users of all experience levels. This crate extends the smartcore machine learning framework, providing utilities to quickly train, compare, and deploy models.

Install

Add AutoML to your Cargo.toml to get started:

Stable Version

automl = "0.2.9"

Latest Development Version

automl = { git = "https://github.com/cmccomb/rust-automl" }

Example Usage

Here’s a quick example to illustrate how AutoML can simplify model training and comparison:

let dataset = smartcore::dataset::breast_cancer::load_dataset();
let settings = automl::Settings::default_classification();
let mut classifier = automl::SupervisedModel::new(dataset, settings);
classifier.train();

will perform a comparison of classifier models using cross-validation. Printing the classifier object will yield:

You can then perform inference using the best model with the predict method.
