Towards Human Centered AutoML
Building models from data is an integral part of the majority of data science workflows. While data scientists are often forced to spend the majority of the time available for a given project on data cleaning and exploratory analysis, the time available to practitioners to build actual models from data is often rather short due to time constraints for a given project. AutoML systems are currently rising in popularity, as they can build powerful models without human oversight. In this position paper, we aim to discuss the impact of the rising popularity of such systems and how a user-centered interface for such systems could look like. More importantly, we also want to point out features that are currently missing in those systems and start to explore better usability of such systems from a data-scientists perspective.
