Akkio vs Auto-PyTorch

Akkio has no write-up on Specifiction yet; its figures are above.

Auto-PyTorch is a free, self-hosted machine-learning toolkit based on PyTorch. It automates algorithm selection and hyperparameter tuning, including neural-network architecture and training settings, within a user-defined search budget. Documented search methods include Bayesian optimisation, meta-learning, SMAC and Hyperband. Supported work includes tabular classification, tabular regression and time-series forecasting. Tabular preprocessing can perform imputation, categorical encoding, scaling and feature processing, while related hyperparameters are tuned. The toolkit can build ensembles from validation-set predictions, with controls for ensemble size and candidate limits. Users can set estimator memory limits and total wall time. Parallel Bayesian optimisation uses Dask.distributed; workers need shared filesystem access to training data and models. Installation documentation specifies Linux, Python 3.7 or later, a C++11-capable compiler and SWIG 3.0. SWIG 4.0 or later is unsupported. Forecasting needs extra dependencies. A Docker image and PyPI installation are documented, under the 3-clause BSD license.
