## Decision facts: autoai

- **Adopt for:** Python based framework for automated machine learning focused on numerical data, providing model search, hyper-parameter tuning, and Jupyter Notebook code generation.

## Decision facts: awesome-AutoML

- **Adopt for:** Curates AutoML research across neural architecture search, hyperparameter optimization, and meta-learning.

## Choose when

### Choose autoai if…

- License: autoai is Apache-2.0, awesome-AutoML is GPL-3.0.
- Tags unique to autoai: ai, autoai, codegen, deep-learning.
- Use AutoAI when you need a tool that can handle both regression and classification tasks specifically over numerical datasets.

### Choose awesome-AutoML if…

- License: awesome-AutoML is GPL-3.0, autoai is Apache-2.0.
- Tags unique to awesome-AutoML: hyperparameter-optimization, meta-learning, neural-architecture-search.
- When seeking comprehensive resources on diverse AutoML topics from recent and impactful research.

## When NOT to use autoai

- Avoid using AutoAI if your dataset includes non-numerical data exclusively as the framework is tailored for numerical data processing.
- Do not use if generating model training scripts in formats other than Jupyter Notebooks is required, as this tool only supports Python code output within a Jupyter format.

## When NOT to use awesome-AutoML

- If looking for direct implementation advice as the repository focuses more on linking to resources rather than providing specific how-to guides.
- When requiring real-time or interactive AutoML features, since it's a curation hub rather than an application tool.
