AutoML with SmartCore

AutoML is Automated Machine Learning, referring to processes and methods to make machine learning more accessible for a general audience. This crate builds on top of the smartcore machine learning framework, and provides some utilities to quickly train and compare models.

Install

To use the latest released version of AutoML, add this to your Cargo.toml:

automl = "0.3.0"

To use the bleeding edge instead, add this:

automl = { git = "https://github.com/cmccomb/rust-automl" }

Usage

Running the following:

let dataset = smartcore::dataset::breast_cancer::load_dataset();
let settings = automl::Settings::default_classification();
let mut classifier = automl::SupervisedModel::new(dataset, settings);
classifier.train();

will perform a comparison of classifier models using cross-validation. Printing the classifier object will yield:

You can then perform inference using the best model with the predict method.
