Time series forecasting has become a common problem in day-to-day applications and various machine learning algorithms have been developed to tackle this task. Finding the model that performs the best forecasting on a given dataset can be time consuming as multiple algorithms and hyperparameter configurations must be examined to find the best model. This problem can be solved using automated machine learning, an approach that automates all steps required for developing a machine learning algorithm including finding the best algorithm and hyperparameter configuration. This study develops and builds an automated machine learning pipeline focused on finding the best forecasting model for a given dataset. This includes choosing different forecasting algorithms to cover a wide range of tasks and identifying the best method to find the best model in these algorithms. Lastly, the final pipeline will then be tested on a variety of datasets to evaluate the performance on time series data with different characteristics.:Abstract
