🤔 Why AutoML Lite?

The Problem with Traditional ML Workflows

Hours of boilerplate code for data preprocessing
Manual hyperparameter tuning that takes forever
Complex configuration management across different projects
No standardized way to track experiments
Limited interpretability out of the box
Difficult deployment and model management

The AutoML Lite Solution

✅ Zero Configuration Required - Works out of the box

✅ Complete ML Pipeline - From data to deployment

✅ Production Ready - Built for real-world applications

✅ Advanced Features - Deep learning, time series, interpretability

✅ Experiment Tracking - MLflow, W&B, TensorBoard integration

✅ Interactive Reports - Beautiful HTML reports with visualizations

🚀 Installation & Quick Start

Install in 30 seconds

pip install automl-lite

Build Your First Model in 5 Lines

from automl_lite import AutoMLite
import pandas as pd

# Load your data
data = pd.read_csv('your_data.csv')

# Initialize AutoML (that's it!)
automl = AutoMLite(time_budget=300)

# Train and get the best model
best_model = automl.fit(data, target_column='target')

# Make predictions
predictions = automl.predict(new_data)

That's it! Your model is trained, optimized, and ready for production. No more endless configuration files or manual tuning!

🛠️ Advanced Usage Examples

Custom Configuration

from automl_lite import AutoMLite

# Custom configuration
config = {
    'time_budget': 600,
    'max_models': 20,
    'cv_folds': 5,
    'feature_engineering': True,
    'ensemble_method': 'voting',
    'interpretability': True
}

automl = AutoMLite(**config)

Time Series Forecasting

# Time series data
automl = AutoMLite(problem_type='time_series')
model = automl.fit(data, target_column='sales', date_column='date')

# Get forecasts
forecast = automl.predict_future(periods=30)

Deep Learning

# Deep learning with TensorFlow
automl = AutoMLite(
    include_deep_learning=True,
    deep_learning_framework='tensorflow'
)
model = automl.fit(data, target_column='target')

📈 CLI Interface

Command Line Usage

# Basic usage
automl-lite train data.csv --target target_column

# With custom config
automl-lite train data.csv --target target_column --config config.yaml

# Generate report
automl-lite report --model model.pkl --output report.html

🎨 Interactive Dashboard

Launch the interactive dashboard for real-time monitoring:

from automl_lite.ui import launch_dashboard

# Launch dashboard
launch_dashboard(automl)

🔍 Model Interpretability

AutoML Lite provides comprehensive model interpretability:

# Get SHAP values
shap_values = automl.explain_model(X_test)

# Feature importance
importance = automl.get_feature_importance()

# Partial dependence plots
automl.plot_partial_dependence('feature_name')
