A fast and lightweight autoML system
Project description
FLAML - Fast and Lightweight AutoML
FLAML is a Python library designed to automatically produce accurate machine learning models with low computational cost. It frees users from selecting learners and hyperparameters for each learner. It is fast and cheap. The simple and lightweight design makes it easy to extend, such as adding customized learners or metrics. FLAML is powered by a new, cost-effective hyperparameter optimization and learner selection method invented by Microsoft Research. FLAML is easy to use:
- With three lines of code, you can start using this economical and fast AutoML engine as a scikit-learn style estimator.
from flaml import AutoML
automl = AutoML()
automl.fit(X_train, y_train, task="classification")
- You can restrict the learners and use FLAML as a fast hyperparameter tuning tool for XGBoost, LightGBM, Random Forest etc. or a customized learner.
automl.fit(X_train, y_train, task="classification", estimator_list=["lgbm"])
- You can embed FLAML in self-tuning software for just-in-time tuning with low latency & resource consumption.
automl.fit(X_train, y_train, task="regression", time_budget=60)
Installation
FLAML requires Python version >= 3.6. It can be installed from pip:
pip install flaml
To run the notebook example,
install flaml with the [notebook] option:
pip install flaml[notebook]
Examples
A basic classification example.
from flaml import AutoML
from sklearn.datasets import load_iris
# Initialize the FLAML learner.
automl = AutoML()
# Provide configurations.
automl_settings = {
"time_budget": 10, # in seconds
"metric": 'accuracy',
"task": 'classification',
"log_file_name": "test/iris.log",
}
X_train, y_train = load_iris(return_X_y=True)
# Train with labeled input data.
automl.fit(X_train=X_train, y_train=y_train,
**automl_settings)
# Predict
print(automl.predict_proba(X_train))
# Export the best model.
print(automl.model)
A basic regression example.
from flaml import AutoML
from sklearn.datasets import load_boston
# Initialize the FLAML learner.
automl = AutoML()
# Provide configurations.
automl_settings = {
"time_budget": 10, # in seconds
"metric": 'r2',
"task": 'regression',
"log_file_name": "test/boston.log",
}
X_train, y_train = load_boston(return_X_y=True)
# Train with labeled input data.
automl.fit(X_train=X_train, y_train=y_train,
**automl_settings)
# Predict
print(automl.predict(X_train))
# Export the best model.
print(automl.model)
