AutoML-Implementation-for-Static-and-Dynamic-Data-Analytics

This code provides an Automated Machine Learning (AutoML) implementation for static and dynamic data analytics problems. It provides a case study of IoT anomaly detection using many ML algorithms and optimization/AutoML methods (for automating and optimizing ML algorithms). It involves the automation of all important procedures in the machine learning/data analytics pipeline, including automated data pre-processing, automated feature engineering, automated model selection, Hyper-Parameter Optimization (HPO), and automated model updating (model drift adaptation). It can also be used as a tutorial to help machine learning researchers to automatically obtain optimized machine learning models with the optimal learning performance on any specific task.

This code is also the implementation of a review paper published in Engineering Applications of Artificial Intelligence (IF: 7.8):
L. Yang and A. Shami, “IoT Data Analytics in Dynamic Environments: From An Automated Machine Learning Perspective,” Engineering Applications of Artificial Intelligence, vol. 116, pp. 1-33, 2022, doi: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.engappai.2022.105366.

This paper and code will help industrial users, data analysts, and researchers to better develop machine learning models using automation technology.
