Winning Solutions and Post-Challenge Analyses of the ChaLearn AutoDL Challenge 2019.

This paper reports the results and post-challenge analyses of ChaLearn's AutoDL challenge series, which helped sorting out a profusion of AutoML solutions for Deep Learning (DL) that had been introduced in a variety of settings, but lacked fair comparisons. All input data modalities (time series, images, videos, text, tabular) were formatted as tensors and all tasks were multi-label classification problems. Code submissions were executed on hidden tasks, with limited time and computational resources, pushing solutions that get results quickly.

Evolving Fully Automated Machine Learning via Life-Long Knowledge Anchors.

Automated machine learning (AutoML) has achieved remarkable progress on various tasks, which is attributed to its minimal involvement of manual feature and model designs. However, most of existing AutoML pipelines only touch parts of the full machine learning pipeline, e.g.
