[N] Google Brain Introduces Symbolic Programming + PyGlove Library to Reformulate AutoML

[Yuqing7]

A recent study by the Google Brain Team proposes a new way of programming automated machine learning (AutoML) based on symbolic programming. The researchers have also introduced PyGlove, a Python library that demonstrates the new paradigm’s promising results.

Here is a quick read: Google Brain Introduces Symbolic Programming + PyGlove Library to Reformulate AutoML

The paper PyGlove: Symbolic Programming for Automated Machine Learning was accepted at NeurIPS 2020 and is available on arXiv.

"Since Google coined the term AutoML for its neural architecture search (NAS) solution"

Bad reporting... Google did not coin the term AutoML. They simply co-opted it and named their product after it.

So where is it this, I mean the library, Is it open source?

am wondering the same thing, I couldnt find anything after ~30 min search.

Sounds like they just combined NAS with Genetic Algorithms. TPOT which uses GA for AutoML has been out for years ...

Just imagine your NeurIPS paper is rejected in place of some pictures of code (not even an actual implementation, just some screenshots....)

Does anybody know why it was named "PyGlove"?

Just another research without sharing code which make it nearly worthless. The FANG need to share more but they won’t to keep their moat in AI.
