PyCaret is an open-source, low-code Python library designed to simplify machine learning workflows.

See Machine Learning Workflow

It allows users to build, evaluate, and deploy machine learning models with minimal coding and effort.

PyCaret provides an end-to-end solution for automating repetitive tasks in machine learning, such as Preprocessing, model training, hyperparameter tuning, and deployment.

Key Features of PyCaret

  1. Ease of Use: PyCaret is designed to be beginner-friendly, enabling users to build models without deep expertise in coding.
  2. Modular Design: PyCaret supports various machine learning tasks through its modular APIs:
    • Classification: pycaret.classification
    • Regression: pycaret.regression
    • Clustering: pycaret.clustering
    • Anomaly Detection: pycaret.anomaly
    • NLP: pycaret.nlp
    • Time Series Forecasting: pycaret.time_series
  3. Automated Machine Learning (AutoML): PyCaret automates data preprocessing, feature engineering, model selection, and hyperparameter tuning.
  4. Integration: PyCaret integrates well with other Python libraries, such as Pandas, NumPy, and Plotly.
  5. Model Evaluation and Comparison: Model Selection: It provides an easy way to compare multiple models and their performance metrics in a single function call.
  6. Deployment Model Deployment: Facilitates the deployment of trained models using tools like Flask, FastAPI, or Microsoft Power BI.
