Reproducible Data Science with Pachyderm

By: Svetlana Karslioglu

Overview of this book

Pachyderm is an open source project that enables data scientists to run reproducible data pipelines and scale them to an enterprise level. This book will teach you how to implement Pachyderm to create collaborative data science workflows and reproduce your ML experiments at scale. You’ll begin your journey by exploring the importance of data reproducibility and comparing different data science platforms. Next, you’ll explore how Pachyderm fits into the picture and its significance, followed by learning how to install Pachyderm locally on your computer or a cloud platform of your choice. You’ll then discover the architectural components and Pachyderm's main pipeline principles and concepts. The book demonstrates how to use Pachyderm components to create your first data pipeline and advances to cover common operations involving data, such as uploading data to and from Pachyderm to create more complex pipelines. Based on what you've learned, you'll develop an end-to-end ML workflow, before trying out the hyperparameter tuning technique and the different supported Pachyderm language clients. Finally, you’ll learn how to use a SaaS version of Pachyderm with Pachyderm Notebooks. By the end of this book, you will learn all aspects of running your data pipelines in Pachyderm and manage them on a day-to-day basis.

NLP example overview

In this section, we will review the end-to-end machine learning workflow that will help us understand how to schedule it in Pachyderm.

To demonstrate this functionality, we will create an NLP pipeline that will perform various text optimizations against the The Legend of Sleepy Hollow short story book written by Washington Irving.

But first, let's review what NLP is and the typical stages that are involved in NLP.

Introduction to NLP

NLP is a machine learning technique that enables you to analyze natural text, namely speech or written text. This branch of artificial intelligence has existed for many years, but with the advancement of computer and internet technologies, it has found new implementations.

So, how can you use NLP in your business or academic research? There are many ways, but the most common ones include the following:

  • Speech recognition: Technology that enables computers to understand human voice and speech.
  • Chatbots...
