## Getting Started
Let us start with the simplest case. You have a csv file where the features are numbers
and you would like to run let AutoML find the best model architecture for you.

Below is a code snippet for doing so:

```python
import model_search
from model_search import constants
from model_search import single_trainer
from model_search.data import csv_data

trainer = single_trainer.SingleTrainer(
    data=csv_data.Provider(
        label_index=0,
        logits_dimension=2,
        record_defaults=[0, 0, 0, 0],
        filename="model_search/data/testdata/csv_random_data.csv"),
    spec=constants.DEFAULT_DNN)

trainer.try_models(
    number_models=200,
    train_steps=1000,
    eval_steps=100,
    root_dir="/tmp/run_example",
    batch_size=32,
    experiment_name="example",
    experiment_owner="model_search_user")
```

The above code will try 200 different models - all binary classification models,
as the `logits_dimension` is 2. The root directory will have a subdirectory of all
models, all of which will be already evaluated.
You can open the directory with tensorboard and see all the models with the
evaluation metrics.

The search will be performed according to the default specification. That can be found in:
`model_search/configs/dnn_config.pbtxt`.

For more details about the fields and if you want to create your own specification, you
can look at: `model_search/proto/phoenix_spec.proto`.
