"The current version of the Automatic Statistician is a system which explores an open-ended space of possible statistical models to discover a good explanation of the data, and then produces a detailed report with figures and natural-language text. While at Cambridge, James Lloyd, David Duvenaud and Zoubin Ghahramani, in collaboration with Roger Grosse and Joshua Tenenbaum at MIT, developed an early version of this system which not only automatically produces a 10-15 page report describing patterns discovered in data, but returns a statistical model with state-of-the-art extrapolation performance evaluated over real time series data sets from various domains. The system is based on reasoning over an open-ended language of nonparametric models using Bayesian inference."
