New AutoML framework LACE uses LLMs to evolve executable pipeline programs

Researchers have developed LACE, a novel AutoML framework that searches for complete executable pipeline programs rather than relying on pre-defined components. This approach uses a large language model, specifically GPT-5.4 Mini, as the variation operator within an evolutionary loop. LACE was evaluated on 68 OpenML classification tasks and demonstrated superior performance compared to auto-sklearn, H2O, and XGBoost, while matching the performance of AutoGluon. A key advantage of LACE is its ability to return editable Python code, allowing practitioners to inspect and modify the generated pipelines directly. AI

IMPACT This framework offers practitioners editable, task-specific code, potentially improving the reusability and transparency of AutoML-generated pipelines.

    Evolving Executable Pipeline Programs for AutoML with Language Models

    Automated machine learning (AutoML) systems search for pipelines within a space of preprocessing operators, learners, and hyper-parameters specified in advance: they can select and tune known components, but cannot produce structure outside that space. We present LACE, an AutoML …
