CMU Auton Lab Team continues to lead in DARPA AutoML evaluations

[Artur Dubrawski]

Team,

I feel stupid - blame it on my vacationinig mindset if you can - but I
completely overlooked the key contribution to the second part of the story
below from Kin Gutierrez. He was fundamental in developing and coding the
advanced time series forecasting tool that pushed our ML primitive
development team to #1 rank in the most recent evaluation. Thank you Kin,
very well earned congratulations, and please accept my
apologies for not including you in the note below.

Cheers
Artur
