AutoML-Conf

Goals

The first international conference on automated machine learning (AutoML) is the premier gathering of professionals focussed on the progressive automation of machine learning (ML), aiming to develop automated methods for making ML methods more efficient, robust, trustworthy, and available to everyone. A special focus of the AutoML conference lies on openness: via sharing of code, we hope to facilitate a culture of open collaborations across academic and industrial partners.
