If you've got the data, try tossing it into auto_ml: https://github.com/ClimbsRocks/auto_ml

Super easy automated machine learning in Python. Fast enough to run at production speeds. I'm the author, and would love any feedback you have! The whole point of the project is to make ML available to people like you who just like building things, and think their thing could be better with a bit of ML.

auto_ml: Automated machine learning at production speeds.

My dad keeps asking me how I plan on making money from this project, given the amount of effort I've poured into it. He grew even more confused once I told him that a company called DataRobot raised over a hundred million dollars to build essentially the same product.

But it just brings me joy to make ML available to everyone.

If you have any feedback, please let me know! I'd love to know how I can make automl better for you.

A couple notes on backwards compatibility I ran into yesterday when upgrading auto_ml to use the latest:

Keras now throws errors when trying to use some of the metrics they've deprecated. If you run into `UnboundLocalError: local variable 'class_name' referenced before assignment`, check that all your metrics are supported.

Keras also now ignores `nb_epoch` in favor of `epochs`. I must have misread the blog post, because I thought it would support `nb_epoch` for a bit and just use that in place of `epochs`.

So glad to finally have some data for the age-old debate over whether a JS framework is hot or past it's peak! I'll be curious to see how the team extends this, as it seems like there's so many new directions you can take this data over time.

Seems like a great way to have a public-facing email without worrying about useless spam.

Given your experiences, would you recommend picking up Python or Clojure for data processing/data science?

I'm currently quite deep into Javascript/Node, and am already comfortable with functional programming. Next I'm looking to gain more data abilities, and had assumed Python would be the natural next step. You're making me wonder whether Clojure would be a smarter step, though I am concerned that most of the jobs still appear to be in Python.

Haha, easily the funniest song about JavaScript I've ever seen!
