In recent years, the scope of Machine Learning algorithms and its techniques are taking up a notch in every industry (for example, recommendation systems, user behavior analytics, financial applications and many more). In practice, they play an important role in utilizing the power of the vast data we currently generate on a daily basis in our digital world. In this study, we present a comprehensive comparison of different supervised Machine Learning algorithms and feature selection techniques to build a best predictive model as an output. Thus, this predictive model helps companies predict unwanted behavior in their business processes. In addition, we have researched for the automation of all the steps involved (from understanding data to implementing models) in the complete Machine Learning Pipeline, also known as AutoML, and provide a comprehensive survey of the various frameworks introduced in this domain. These frameworks were introduced to solve the problem of CASH (combined algorithm selection and Hyper-parameter optimization), which is basically automation of various pipelines involved in the process of building a Machine Learning predictive model.
