4th AutoML
School 2024

Date: September 2nd - 6th 2024 Place: Hannover, Germany

Motivation 

By increasing the efficiency of ML-application development and supporting users in crucial design decisions, AutoML became a key approach in the toolkit of many developers and researchers. Although there is an exponentially growing interest in AutoML, AutoML is so far only rarely taught at universities and there is a large gap between the current state of the art in research and disseminated knowledge. The AutoML Summer School will cover core topics of AutoML, covering basics, state-of-the-art approaches and hands-on sessions. Enthusiastic AutoML experts will present their diverse views on AutoML to ML practitioners, developers, research engineers, researchers and students.
