Machine learning (ML) methods have been developing rapidly, but configuring and selecting proper methods to achieve a desired performance is increasingly difficult and tedious. To address this challenge, automated machine learning (AutoML) has emerged, which aims to generate satisfactory ML configurations for given tasks in a data-driven way. In this paper, we provide a comprehensive survey on this topic. We begin with the formal definition of AutoML and then introduce its principles, including the bi-level learning objective, the learning strategy, and the theoretical interpretation. Then, we summarize the AutoML practices by setting up the taxonomy of existing works based on three main factors: the search space, the search algorithm, and the evaluation strategy. Each category is also explained with the representative methods. Then, we illustrate the principles and practices with exemplary applications from configuring ML pipeline, one-shot neural architecture search, and integration with foundation models. Finally, we highlight the emerging directions of AutoML and conclude the survey.

    cs.LG 2025-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Meta-IR trains meta-classifiers on 218 datasets to recommend a regression model and a resampling strategy from dataset meta-features, with a chained variant that slightly improves F1-scoreR but not SERA.

  2. Automated Phytosensing: Ozone Exposure Classification Based on Plant Electrical Signals

    cs.LG 2024-12 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    An automated pipeline using tsfresh features and AutoML can separate ozone-exposed from non-exposed ivy plant signals in the lab, but the held-out accuracy is lower than the headline.

  3. Monte Carlo Tree Search based Space Transfer for Black-box Optimization

    cs.LG 2024-12 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    MCTS-transfer uses Monte Carlo tree search to partition the search space and adaptively reweight source-task data for faster Bayesian optimization on new tasks.

  4. Variability-Aware Machine Learning Model Selection: Feature Modeling, Instantiation, and Experimental Case Study

    cs.SE 2024-12 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10
