Today we’re joined by Erez Barak, Partner Group Manager of Azure ML at Microsoft. In our conversation, Erez gives us a full breakdown of his AutoML philosophy, and his take on the AutoML space, its role, and its importance. We also discuss the application of AutoML as a contributor to the end-to-end data science process, which Erez breaks down into 3 key areas; Featurization, Learner/Model Selection, and Tuning/Optimizing Hyperparameters. We also discuss post-deployment AutoML use cases, and much more!
