Machine learning has achieved considerable successes in recent years, but these successes crucially rely on human machine learning experts, who select appropriate ML architectures (deep learning architectures or more traditional ML workflows) and their hyperparameters. As the complexity of these tasks is often beyond non-experts, the rapid growth of machine learning applications has created a demand for off-the-shelf machine learning methods that can be used easily and without expert knowledge. We call the resulting research area that targets progressive automation of machine learning AutoML.
AutoML aims to automate many different stages of the machine learning process, such as:
- Model selection, hyper-parameter optimization, and model search
- Neural architecture search
- Meta learning and transfer learning
- Automatic feature extraction / construction
- Demonstrations (demos) of working AutoML systems
- Automatic generation of workflows / workflow reuse
- Automatic problem "ingestion" (from raw data and miscellaneous formats)
- Automatic feature transformation to match algorithm requirements
- Automatic detection and handling of skewed data and/or missing values
- Automatic acquisition of new data (active learning, experimental design)
- Automatic report writing (providing insight on automatic data analysis)
- Automatic selection of evaluation metrics / validation procedures
- Automatic selection of algorithms under time/space/power constraints
- Automatic prediction post-processing and calibration
- Automatic leakage detection
- Automatic inference and differentiation
- User interfaces and human-in-the-loop approaches for AutoML
Submission Guidelines
We welcome submissions up to 6 pages in JMLR Workshop and Proceedings format (not including references). A sample is attached to this page; it uses the JMLR class, which is available on CTAN: http://ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/jmlr.
(To install, either use your package/LaTeX package manager, or download the complete archive, run LaTeX on jmlr.ins and copy the produced jmlr.cls to the directory with the sources of your paper.)
Demo track: Submissions on (demonstrations of) working AutoML systems should use the same formatting and page limit but should be clearly labeled as such in the title.
Presentation only: We encourage submissions of previously-published material (clearly marked as such) that is closely related to the workshop topic.
Accepted original papers will be made available online and will be presented as posters and poster spotlight presentations at the workshop.
Important Dates
- Submission deadline: May 23, 2018, UTC-12 (anywhere in the world)
- Notification of acceptance: June 9, 2018
