Optimizing Data Processing and Feature Selection for Model Training

A method includes training a first machine learning model based on a set of training data and based on the training, determining a first performance metric corresponding to the first machine learning model. The method also includes determining one or more past performance metrics corresponding to one or more machine learning models that were previously trained based on the set of training data. Based on the first performance metric and the one or more past performance metrics, the method includes automatically selecting a second machine learning model to train based on the set of training data.
