LightAutoML
LightAutoML is an open-source Python library for automated machine learning on tabular and text data. It supports binary and multiclass classification and regression, using ready-made tabular, text and WhiteBox presets or modular custom pipelines. Pipeline creation can automate data processing and typing, feature selection, hyperparameter tuning, time utilization and report creation. Documented model classes include linear models, LightGBM and CatBoost boosted trees, neural networks and a WhiteBox scorecard. Its basic tutorial says the library can handle missing values and outliers automatically. Optional installation extras cover NLP, computer vision and reports, and a tutorial demonstrates a SQL data source. Installation is through PyPI with `pip install lightautoml`; the project is licensed under Apache License, Version 2.0. The maker describes it as a way for data scientists and analysts to reduce routine data preparation and model selection work. The current package handles datasets with independent samples in each row; multitable datasets and sequences remain in progress.
