LightAutoML (LAMA) is an AutoML framework which provides automatic model creation for the following tasks:
- binary classification
- multiclass classification
- regression
Current version of the package handles datasets that have independent samples in each row. I.e. each row is an object with its specific features and target. Multitable datasets and sequences are a work in progress :)
Note: we use AutoWoE library to automatically create interpretable models.

To install LAMA framework on your machine from PyPI, execute following commands:
# Install base functionality:
pip install -U lightautoml
# For partial installation use corresponding option.
# Extra dependecies: [nlp, cv, report]
# Or you can use 'all' to install everything
pip install -U lightautoml[nlp]
Additionaly, run following commands to enable pdf report generation:
# MacOS
brew install cairo pango gdk-pixbuf libffi
# Debian / Ubuntu
sudo apt-get install build-essential libcairo2 libpango-1.0-0 libpangocairo-1.0-0 libgdk-pixbuf2.0-0 libffi-dev shared-mime-info

sudo yum install redhat-rpm-config libffi-devel cairo pango gdk-pixbuf2
# Windows
# follow this tutorial https://weasyprint.readthedocs.io/en/stable/install.html#windowsLet's solve the popular Kaggle Titanic competition below. There are two main ways to solve machine learning problems using LightAutoML:
- Use ready preset for tabular data:
import pandas as pd
from sklearn.metrics import f1_score
from lightautoml.automl.presets.tabular_presets import TabularAutoML
from lightautoml.tasks import Task
df_train = pd.read_csv('../input/titanic/train.csv')
df_test = pd.read_csv('../input/titanic/test.csv')
automl = TabularAutoML(
task = Task(
name = 'binary',
metric = lambda y_true, y_pred: f1_score(y_true, (y_pred > 0.5)*1))
)
oof_pred = automl.fit_predict(
df_train,
roles = {'target': 'Survived', 'drop': ['PassengerId']}
)
test_pred = automl.predict(df_test)
pd.DataFrame({
'PassengerId':df_test.PassengerId,
'Survived': (test_pred.data[:, 0] > 0.5)*1
}).to_csv('submit.csv', index = False)LighAutoML framework has a lot of ready-to-use parts and extensive customization options, to learn more check out the resources section.

Note 1: for production you have no need to use profiler (which increase work time and memory consomption), so please do not turn it on - it is in off state by default
Note 2: to take a look at this report after the run, please comment last line of demo with report deletion command.
