Workshop content for the KNIME Pros Learnathon: Come to our new Learnathon for Advanced Users of KNIME! Today's topic is... components! Are you ready to learn how to build a component, give it its own configuration window and/or its own composite view? In this session you will learn how to build and share reliable and user friendly components that act just like standard KNIME nodes. The learnathon will begin with a detailed introduction to components and related KNIME features, then we will split into three groups. Each group will work on a different category of Verified Components, focusing on use cases. Current Group: Automation Paolo Tamagnini and Mahantesh Pattadkal, the authors behind the AutoML and XAI View KNIME Verified Components, will guide you through building a simple automation strategy for a machine learning regression task.
