"""Automated classifier pipeline search
Arguments:
objective (Object): the objective to optimize
multiclass (bool): If True, expecting multiclass data. By default: False.
max_pipelines (int): Maximum number of pipelines to search. If max_pipelines and
max_time is not set, then max_pipelines will default to max_pipelines of 5.
max_time (int, str): Maximum time to search for pipelines.
This will not start a new pipeline search after the duration
has elapsed. If it is an integer, then the time will be in seconds.
For strings, time can be specified as seconds, minutes, or hours.
patience (int): Number of iterations without improvement to stop search early. Must be positive.
If None, early stopping is disabled. Defaults to None.
tolerance (float): Minimum percentage difference to qualify as score improvement for early stopping.
Only applicable if patience is not None. Defaults to None.
model_types (list): The model types to search. By default searches over all
model_types. Run evalml.list_model_types("classification") to see options.
cv: cross validation method to use. By default StratifiedKFold
tuner: the tuner class to use. Defaults to scikit-optimize tuner
detect_label_leakage (bool): If True, check input features for label leakage and
warn if found. Defaults to true.
start_iteration_callback (callable): function called before each pipeline training iteration.
Passed two parameters: pipeline_class, parameters.
add_result_callback (callable): function called after each pipeline training iteration.
Passed two parameters: results, trained_pipeline.
additional_objectives (list): Custom set of objectives to score on.
Will override default objectives for problem type if not empty.
random_state (int): the random_state
verbose (boolean): If True, turn verbosity on. Defaults to True
