Automated Machine Learning (AutoML)
What is Automated Machine Learning?
Automated Machine Learning (AutoML) automates the process of building, training, and optimizing machine learning models—making AI accessible even without deep data science expertise. In Edge AI, AutoML helps rapidly deploy efficient models directly on edge devices for faster, smarter decision-making.
Why Is It Used?
AutoML is used to accelerate AI development by removing the need for manual model selection, hyperparameter tuning, and feature engineering. At the Edge, it ensures models are lightweight, energy-efficient, and adaptive to local data conditions—vital for IoT and real-time applications.
How Is It Used?
In Edge AI systems, AutoML tools automatically train and optimize models on-device or in hybrid (cloud-edge) environments. These models are then deployed to edge nodes—such as cameras, sensors, or IoT gateways—where they continuously learn and improve with minimal human input.
Types of Automated Machine Learning
Model Selection AutoML – Chooses the best algorithm for given data.
Feature Engineering AutoML – Automates data preprocessing and transformation.
Neural Architecture Search (NAS) – Designs deep learning architectures automatically.
Hyperparameter Optimization (HPO) – Fine-tunes parameters for peak accuracy.
