Automated Machine Learning
🚀
The mljar-supervised is an Automated Machine Learning Python package that works with tabular data. It is designed to save time for a data scientist. It abstracts the common way to preprocess the data, construct the machine learning models, and perform hyper-parameters tuning to find the best model
The mljar-supervised will help you with:
- explaining and understanding your data (Automatic Exploratory Data Analysis),
- trying many different machine learning models (Algorithm Selection and Hyper-Parameters tuning),
- creating Markdown reports from analysis with details about all models (Atomatic-Documentation),
- saving, re-running and loading the analysis and ML models.
It has four built-in modes of work:
Explainmode, which is ideal for explaining and understanding the data, with many data explanations, like decision trees visualization, linear models coefficients display, permutation importances and SHAP explanations of data,Performfor building ML pipelines to use in production,Competemode that trains highly-tuned ML models with ensembling and stacking, with a purpose to use in ML competitions.Optunamode that can be used to search for highly-tuned ML models, should be used when the performance is the most important, and computation time is not limited (it is available from version0.10.0)
Of course, you can further customize the details of each mode to meet the requirements.
What's good in it?
💥
- It is using many algorithms:
Baseline,Linear,Random Forest,Extra Trees,LightGBM,Xgboost,CatBoost,Neural Networks, andNearest Neighbors. - It can compute Ensemble based on greedy algorithm from Caruana paper.
- It can stack models to build level 2 ensemble (available in
Competemode or after settingstack_modelsparameter). - It can do features preprocessing, like: missing values imputation and converting categoricals. What is more, it can also handle target values preprocessing.
- It can do advanced features engineering, like: Golden Features, Features Selection, Text and Time Transformations.
- It can tune hyper-parameters with
not-so-random-searchalgorithm (random-search over defined set of values) and hill climbing to fine-tune final models. - It can compute the
Baselinefor your data. That you will know if you need Machine Learning or not! - It has extensive explanations. This package is training simple
Decision Treeswithmax_depth <= 5, so you can easily visualize them with amazing dtreeviz to better understand your data. - The
mljar-supervisedis using simple linear regression and include its coefficients in the summary report, so you can check which features are used the most in the linear model. - It cares about explainability of models: for every algorithm, the feature importance is computed based on permutation. Additionally, for every algorithm the SHAP explanations are computed: feature importance, dependence plots, and decision plots (explanations can be switched off with
explain_levelparameter). - There is automatic documnetation for every ML experiment run with AutoML. The
mljar-supervisedcreates markdown reports from AutoML training full of ML details, metrics and charts.
Automatic Documentation
The AutoML Report
The report from running AutoML will contain the table with infomation about each model score and time needed to train the model. For each model there is a link, which you can click to see model's details. The performance of all ML models is presented as scatter and box plots so you can visually inspect which algorithms perform the best
The Decision Tree Report
The example for Decision Tree summary with trees visualization. For classification tasks additional metrics are provided:
- confusion matrix
- threshold (optimized in the case of binary classification task)
- F1 score
- Accuracy
- Precision, Recall, MCC
The LightGBM Report
The example for LightGBM summary:
Available Modes
📚
In the docs you can find details about AutoML modes are presented in the table .
Explain
automl = AutoML(mode="Explain")
It is aimed to be used when the user wants to explain and understand the data.
- It is using 75%/25% train/test split.
- It is using:
Baseline,Linear,Decision Tree,Random Forest,Xgboost,Neural Networkalgorithms and ensemble. - It has full explanations: learning curves, importance plots, and SHAP plots.
Perform
automl = AutoML(mode="Perform")
It should be used when the user wants to train a model that will be used in real-life use cases.
- It is using 5-fold CV.
- It is using:
Linear,Random Forest,LightGBM,Xgboost,CatBoostandNeural Network. It uses ensembling. - It has learning curves and importance plots in reports.
Compete
automl = AutoML(mode="Compete")
It should be used for machine learning competitions.
- It adapts the validation strategy depending on dataset size and
total_time_limit. It can be: train/test split (80/20), 5-fold CV or 10-fold CV. - It is using:
Linear,Decision Tree,Random Forest,Extra Trees,LightGBM,Xgboost,CatBoost,Neural NetworkandNearest Neighbors. It uses ensemble and stacking. - It has only learning curves in the reports.
Optuna
automl = AutoML(mode="Optuna", optuna_time_budget=3600)
It should be used when the performance is the most important and time is not limited.
- It is using 10-fold CV
- It is using:
Random Forest,Extra Trees,LightGBM,Xgboost, andCatBoost. Those algorithms are tuned byOptunaframework foroptuna_time_budgetseconds, each. Algorithms are tuned with original data, without advanced feature engineering. - It is using advanced feature engineering, stacking and ensembling. The hyperparameters found for original data are reused with those steps.
- It produces learning curves in the reports.

Binary Classification Example
There is a simple interface available with fit and predict methods.
import pandas as pd
from sklearn.model_selection import train_test_split
from supervised.automl import AutoML
df = pd.read_csv(
"https://raw.githubusercontent.com/pplonski/datasets-for-start/master/adult/data.csv",
skipinitialspace=True,
)
X_train, X_test, y_train, y_test = train_test_split(
df[df.columns[:-1]], df["income"], test_size=0.25
)
automl = AutoML()
automl.fit(X_train, y_train)
predictions = automl.predict(X_test)
AutoML fit will print:
Create directory AutoML_1
