Consider TPOT your Data Science Assistant. TPOT is a Python Automated Machine Learning tool that optimizes machine learning pipelines using genetic programming.

TPOT Demo

TPOT will automate the most tedious part of machine learning by intelligently exploring thousands of possible pipelines to find the best one for your data.

Once TPOT is finished searching (or you get tired of waiting), it provides you with the Python code for the best pipeline it found so you can tinker with the pipeline from there.

An example TPOT pipeline

TPOT is built on top of scikit-learn, so all of the code it generates should look familiar... if you're familiar with scikit-learn, anyway.

TPOT is still under active development and we encourage you to check back on this repository regularly for updates.

For further information about TPOT, please see the project documentation.

License

Please see the repository license for the licensing and usage information for TPOT.

Generally, we have licensed TPOT to make it as widely usable as possible.

Installation

We maintain the TPOT installation instructions in the documentation. TPOT requires a working installation of Python.

Usage

TPOT can be used on the command line or with Python code.

Examples

Classification

Below is a minimal working example with the practice MNIST data set.

from tpot import TPOTClassifier
from sklearn.datasets import load_digits
from sklearn.model_selection import train_test_split

digits = load_digits()
X_train, X_test, y_train, y_test = train_test_split(digits.data, digits.target,
                                                    train_size=0.75, test_size=0.25)

tpot = TPOTClassifier(generations=5, population_size=20, verbosity=2)
tpot.fit(X_train, y_train)
print(tpot.score(X_test, y_test))
tpot.export('tpot_mnist_pipeline.py')

Running this code should discover a pipeline that achieves about 98% testing accuracy, and the corresponding Python code should be exported to the tpot_mnist_pipeline.py file and look similar to the following:

import numpy as np
import pandas as pd
from sklearn.model_selection import train_test_split
from sklearn.neighbors import KNeighborsClassifier

# NOTE: Make sure that the class is labeled 'target' in the data file
tpot_data = pd.read_csv('PATH/TO/DATA/FILE', sep='COLUMN_SEPARATOR', dtype=np.float64)
features = tpot_data.drop('target', axis=1).values
training_features, testing_features, training_target, testing_target = \
            train_test_split(features, tpot_data['target'].values, random_state=None)


exported_pipeline = KNeighborsClassifier(n_neighbors=6, weights="distance")

exported_pipeline.fit(training_features, training_classes)
results = exported_pipeline.predict(testing_features)

Regression

Similarly, TPOT can optimize pipelines for regression problems. Below is a minimal working example with the practice Boston housing prices data set.

from tpot import TPOTRegressor
from sklearn.datasets import load_boston
from sklearn.model_selection import train_test_split

housing = load_boston()
X_train, X_test, y_train, y_test = train_test_split(housing.data, housing.target,
                                                    train_size=0.75, test_size=0.25)

tpot = TPOTRegressor(generations=5, population_size=20, verbosity=2)
tpot.fit(X_train, y_train)
print(tpot.score(X_test, y_test))
tpot.export('tpot_boston_pipeline.py')

which should result in a pipeline that achieves about 12.77 mean squared error (MSE), and the Python code in tpot_boston_pipeline.py should look similar to:

import numpy as np
import pandas as pd
from sklearn.ensemble import GradientBoostingRegressor
from sklearn.model_selection import train_test_split

# NOTE: Make sure that the class is labeled 'target' in the data file
tpot_data = pd.read_csv('PATH/TO/DATA/FILE', sep='COLUMN_SEPARATOR', dtype=np.float64)
features = tpot_data.drop('target', axis=1).values
training_features, testing_features, training_target, testing_target = \
            train_test_split(features, tpot_data['target'].values, random_state=None)

exported_pipeline = GradientBoostingRegressor(alpha=0.85, learning_rate=0.1, loss="ls",
                                              max_features=0.9, min_samples_leaf=5,
                                              min_samples_split=6)

exported_pipeline.fit(training_features, training_classes)
results = exported_pipeline.predict(testing_features)
