• Abstract: The evaluation of machine learning (ML) pipelines is essential during automatic ML pipeline composition and optimisation. The previous methods such as Bayesian-based and genetic-based optimisation, which are implemented in Auto-Weka, Auto-sklearn and TPOT, evaluate pipelines by executing them. Therefore, the pipeline composition and optimisation of these methods requires a tremendous amount of time that prevents them from exploring complex pipelines to find better predictive models. To further explore this research challenge, we have conducted experiments showing that many of the generated pipelines are invalid, and it is unnecessary to execute them to find out whether they are good pipelines. To address this issue, we propose a novel method to evaluate the validity of ML pipelines using a surrogate model (AVATAR). The AVATAR enables to accelerate automatic ML pipeline composition and optimisation by quickly ignoring invalid pipelines. Our experiments show that the AVATAR is more efficient in evaluating complex pipelines in comparison with the traditional evaluation approaches requiring their execution.

  We propose the Observation-Aware Spectral (OAS) estimation technique, which enables the POMDP parameters to be learned from samples collected using a belief-based policy. We show the consistency of the OAS procedure, and we prove a regret guarantee of order $mathcalO(sqrtT log(T)$ for the proposed OAS-UCRL algorithm.

Based on these plans, we automatically infer pipeline semantics and instrument and rewrite the ML pipelines to enable diverse use cases without requiring data scientists to manually annotate or rewrite their code.

  Data scientists develop ML pipelines in an iterative manner: they repeatedly screen a pipeline for potential issues, debug it, and then revise and improve its code according to their findings. We propose to support data scientists during this development cycle with automatically derived interactive suggestions for pipeline improvements. We discuss our vision to generate these suggestions with so-called shadow pipelines, hidden variants of the original pipeline that modify it to auto-detect potential issues, try out modifications for improvements, and suggest and explain these modifications to the user. We envision to apply incremental view maintenance-based optimisations to ensure low-latency computation and maintenance of the shadow pipelines
