Deep Learning models have become an integrated component of modern software systems. In response to the challenge of model design, researchers proposed Automated Machine Learning (AutoML) systems, which automatically search for model architecture and hyperparameters for a given task. Like other software systems, existing AutoML systems have shortcomings in their design. We identify two common and severe shortcomings in AutoML, performance issue (i.e., searching for the desired model takes an unreasonably long time) and ineffective search issue (i.e., AutoML systems are not able to find an accurate enough model). After analyzing the workflow of AutoML, we observe that existing AutoML systems overlook potential opportunities in search space, search method, and search feedback, which results in performance and ineffective search issues. Based on our analysis, we design and implement DREAM, an automatic and general-purpose tool to alleviate and repair the shortcomings of AutoML pipelines and conduct effective model searches for diverse tasks. It monitors the process of AutoML to collect detailed feedback and automatically repairs shortcomings by expanding search space and leveraging a feedback-driven search strategy. Our evaluation results show that DREAM can be applied on two state-of-the-art AutoML pipelines and effectively and efficiently repair their shortcomings.
