What you'll learn

  • Explore TransmogrifAI—Salesforce's open source AutoML library built on Spark
  • Learn how it automatically generates models that are automatically customized to a company's dataset and use case

Description

Salesforce powers a wide variety applications, many of which rely on custom predictions specified by end users—for example, companies predicting customer churn, college prep programs wanting to know the likelihood of students to enroll in college, and brands wanting to know how well their marketing campaigns are working and how to better target their efforts, to name just a few. These user-defined predictions require models automatically customized to each company’s dataset and use case.

Kevin Moore walks you through how TransmogrifAI—Salesforce’s open source AutoML library built on Spark—automatically generates these models and provides insights into why the model is making the predictions it does.
