Bases: object

Automatic Machine Learning

The Automatic Machine Learning (AutoML) function automates the supervised machine learning model training process. The current version of AutoML trains and cross-validates a Random Forest, an Extremely-Randomized Forest, a random grid of Gradient Boosting Machines (GBMs), a random grid of Deep Neural Nets, and a Stacked Ensemble of all the models.

Parameters:

nfolds (int) – Number of folds for k-fold cross-validation. Defaults to 5. Use 0 to disable cross-validation; this will also disable Stacked Ensemble (thus decreasing the overall model performance).
balance_classes (bool) – Balance training data class counts via over/under-sampling (for imbalanced data). Defaults to false.
class_sampling_factors – Desired over/under-sampling ratios per class (in lexicographic order). If not specified, sampling factors will be automatically computed to obtain class balance during training. Requires balance_classes.
max_after_balance_size (float) – Maximum relative size of the training data after balancing class counts (can be less than 1.0). Requires balance_classes. Defaults to 5.0.
max_runtime_secs (int) – This argument controls how long the AutoML run will execute. Defaults to 3600 seconds (1 hour).
max_models (int) – Specify the maximum number of models to build in an AutoML run. (Does not include the Stacked Ensemble model.)
stopping_metric (str) – Specifies the metric to use for early stopping. Defaults to "AUTO". The available options are: AUTO (This defaults to logloss for classification, deviance for regression), deviance, logloss, mse, rmse, mae, rmsle, auc, lift_top_group, misclassification, mean_per_class_error, r2.
stopping_tolerance (float) – This option specifies the relative tolerance for the metric-based stopping to stop the AutoML run if the improvement is less than this value. This value defaults to 0.001 if the dataset is at least 1 million rows; otherwise it defaults to a value determined by the size of the dataset and the non-NA-rate. In that case, the value is computed as 1/sqrt(nrows * non-NA-rate).
stopping_rounds (int) – This argument stops training new models in the AutoML run when the option selected for stopping_metric doesn’t improve for the specified number of models, based on a simple moving average. To disable this feature, set it to 0. Defaults to 3 and must be an non-negative integer.
seed (int) – Set a seed for reproducibility. AutoML can only guarantee reproducibility if max_models or early stopping is used because max_runtime_secs is resource limited, meaning that if the resources are not the same between runs, AutoML may be able to train more models on one run vs another. Defaults to None.
project_name (str) – Character string to identify an AutoML project. Defaults to None, which means a project name will be auto-generated based on the training frame ID. More models can be trained on an existing AutoML project by specifying the same project name in muliple calls to the AutoML function (as long as the same training frame is used in subsequent runs).
exclude_algos – List of character strings naming the algorithms to skip during the model-building phase. An example use is exclude_algos = [“GLM”, “DeepLearning”, “DRF”], and the full list of options is: “GLM”, “GBM”, “DRF” (Random Forest and Extremely-Randomized Trees), “DeepLearning” and “StackedEnsemble”. Defaults to None, which means that all appropriate H2O algorithms will be used, if the search stopping criteria allow. Optional.
keep_cross_validation_predictions – Whether to keep the predictions of the cross-validation predictions. If set to False then running the same AutoML object for repeated runs will cause an exception as CV predictions are required to build additional Stacked Ensemble models in AutoML. Defaults to True.
keep_cross_validation_models – Whether to keep the cross-validated models. Deleting cross-validation models will save memory in the H2O cluster. Defaults to True.

:param sort_metric Metric to sort the leaderboard by. Defaults to "AUTO" (This defaults to auc for binomial classification, mean_per_class_error for multinomial classification, deviance for regression). For binomial classification choose between auc, "logloss", "mean_per_class_error", "rmse", "mse".

For regression choose between "deviance", "rmse", "mse", "mae", "rmlse". For multinomial classification choose between "mean_per_class_error", "logloss", "rmse", "mse".

search_criteria –

A dictionary of directives which control the search of the hyperparameter space. The default strategy “Cartesian” covers the entire space of hyperparameter combinations. Specify the “RandomDiscrete” strategy to get random search of all the combinations of your hyperparameters. RandomDiscrete should usually be combined with at least one early stopping criterion: max_models and/or max_runtime_secs, e.g:

>>> criteria = {"strategy": "RandomDiscrete", "max_models": 42,
...             "max_runtime_secs": 28800, "seed": 1234}
>>> criteria = {"strategy": "RandomDiscrete", "stopping_metric": "AUTO",
...             "stopping_tolerance": 0.001, "stopping_rounds": 10}
>>> criteria = {"strategy": "RandomDiscrete", "stopping_rounds": 5,
...             "stopping_metric": "misclassification",
...             "stopping_tolerance": 0.00001}

Returns:

a new H2OGridSearch instance
