Obtaining better AutoML performance
Congratulations! You have built your first model and it performs very well. However, there are a lot of little things you can do to improve performance. You will build many more models in the future, after all, and in order to build the best models, you need to know all of the tips and tricks. Here's a list of tips and tricks to end this chapter:
- Additional feature engineering will often provide superior results. Feature engineering just means transforming data in ways that make it easier for machine learning algorithms to find patterns. Binning ticket prices and age into buckets in the Titanic data, for example, may provide you with superior results compared to just using prices and age as numeric columns.
- Speaking of binning, you can always bin a regression problem to turn it into a classification problem. If you're trying to predict the average lifespan of a human being, for example, you can try to predict a range of numbers...
