Pycon Israel 2021

Enabling Super Fast DS Research using AutoML
05-03, 15:30–15:55 (Asia/Jerusalem), PyData Track 2

AutoML is a python driven tool we built in Outbrain Recommendations group. In this talk we'll share motivation for creating this tool, describe the general architecture and do a live short demo.


Recently Outbrain CTR prediction system was heavily reworked. In this talk, we will share our key enabler in this journey, a Python-based AutoML engine which allows data scientists to perform faster offline research iterations. This tool is a robust and highly parallel search engine built solely in Python. In this talk we'll share the motivation for building this tool, go through the general architecture and showcases some of its capabilities in a live demo.
