What it does
AutoKeras is an AutoML tool, which stands for automated machine learning. Instead of designing an AI model by hand, you give it your data and it searches for a good model design and trains it.
For example, you can create an image classifier, train it on your pictures and make predictions in about three lines of Python. It is built on Keras, a popular deep-learning library.
It was developed at Texas A&M University, and its stated goal is to make machine learning accessible to everyone.
Who it's for
Programmers and students who want to train AI models without deep expertise in model design.
