## We Are Hiring！
Dear folks, we are offering challenging opportunities located in Beijing for both professionals and students who are keen on AutoML/NAS. Come be a part of DataCanvas! Please send your CV to yangjian@zetyun.com. (Application deadline: TBD.)  

## Hypernets: A General Automated Machine Learning Framework
Hypernets is a general AutoML framework, based on which it can implement automatic optimization tools for various machine learning frameworks and libraries, including deep learning frameworks such as tensorflow, keras, pytorch, and machine learning libraries like sklearn, lightgbm, xgboost, etc.
It also adopted various state-of-the-art optimization algorithms, including but not limited to evolution algorithm, monte carlo tree search for single objective optimization and multi-objective optimization algorithms such as MOEA/D,NSGA-II,R-NSGA-II.
We introduced an abstract search space representation, taking into account the requirements of hyperparameter optimization and neural architecture search(NAS), making Hypernets a general framework that can adapt to various automated machine learning needs. As an abstraction computing layer, tabular toolbox, has successfully implemented in various tabular data types: pandas, dask, cudf, etc.
