自动机器学习组件的深度解析：超越AutoML框架的底层架构
引言：自动化机器学习的范式演进
传统机器学习工作流严重依赖数据科学家的经验与直觉，从特征工程、算法选择到超参数调优，每个环节都需要大量人工干预。自动机器学习（AutoML）应运而生，旨在将这一过程系统化、自动化。然而，大多数开发者仅停留在使用H2O、Auto-sklearn等高层框架的层面，对自动化组件的内在机制缺乏深入理解。
本文将通过架构视角，深入剖析自动机器学习核心组件的实现原理与技术挑战，并提供可复用的实现方案。我们特别关注元学习引导的自动化流水线构建 与动态资源感知的优化策略这两个较少被深入探讨的领域。
一、自动化特征工程：超越传统转换
1.1 深度特征合成与关系感知
传统特征工程自动化多限于多项式展开、分箱等基础操作。现代方法需要理解数据中的复杂关系（尤其在多表场景下）。

include=[np.number]), agg)().mean() if len(window_data) > 0 else np.nan

对于高维稀疏特征（如文本、分类变量），传统编码方法会丢失语义信息。我们可以利用预训练语言模型或图神经网络挖掘深层语义。
