Study on automated machine learning application

Abstract

With the development of science and technology, there is an increasing number of tasks which use machine learning algorithms for analysis. The use of machine learning needs professional experience, and some of the processes are time consuming. Automated machine learning (AutoML) is designed for automating the machine learning tasks, while it aims to save time for other important procedures such as data collection and model evaluation. In this thesis, we will introduce some open source AutoML frameworks and test them with the S&P 500 Index. The innovation of this study is the use of ensemble learning to optimize the AutoML frameworks.
