Abstract

Machine Learning model building is an important and complex task in Data Science but also a good target for automation as recently exploited by AutoML. In general, free and open-source packages offer a joint space of learning algorithms and their respective hyperparameter settings and an optimization method for model search and tuning. In this paper, Auto-WEKA’s performance has been tested by running it for short periods of time (5, 15 and 30 minutes) using a commodity machine and suitable datasets with a limited number of observations and features. Benchmarking was performed against the best human-generated solution available in OpenML for each selected dataset. We concluded that increasing the overall time budget available over the previous values didn’t improve significantly classifiers’ performance.
