Google’s AutoML is a new up-and-coming (alpha stage) cloud software suite of Machine Learning tools. It’s based on Google’s state-of-the-art research in image recognition called Neural Architecture Search (NAS). NAS is basically an algorithm that, given your specific dataset, searches for the most optimal neural network to perform a certain task on that dataset. AutoML is then a suite of machine learning tools that will allow one to easily train high-performance deep networks, without requiring the user to have any knowledge of deep learning or AI; all you need is labelled data! Google will use NAS to then find the best network for your specific dataset and task. They’ve already shown how their methods can achieve performance that is far better than that of hand-designed networks.
AutoML totally changes the whole machine learning game because for many applications, specialised skills and knowledge won’t be required. Many companies only need deep networks to do simpler tasks, such as image classification. At that point they don’t need to hire 5 machine learning PhDs; they just need someone who can handle moving around and organising their data.
