By increasing the efficiency of ML-application development and supporting users in crucial design decisions, AutoML became a key approach in the toolkit of many developers and researchers. Although there is an exponentially growing interest in AutoML, AutoML is so far only rarely taught at universities and there is a large gap between the current state of the art in research and disseminated knowledge. The AutoML Fall School will cover core topics of AutoML, covering basics, state-of-the-art approaches and hands-on sessions. Enthusiastic AutoML experts will present their diverse views on AutoML to ML practitioners, developers, research engineers, researchers and students.

This year, our hackathon will focus on bringing you up to speed for the AutoML Decathlon. The AutoML Decathlon is likely the most important AutoML competition in 2022 and awards a prize money of $15.000 to the winning team.
Ameet, Nicholas and Samuel will give a hands-on introduction to the Decathlon setup. We hope that this, combined with all the other lectures and hands-ons, will enable participants of the AutoML Fall School to be ranked in the upper part of the AutoML Decathlon 2022.

For more information, see the Decathlon website and our hands-on session.
