Comet for Data Science

By: Angelica Lo Duca

Overview of this book

This book provides concepts and practical use cases which can be used to quickly build, monitor, and optimize data science projects. Using Comet, you will learn how to manage almost every step of the data science process from data collection through to creating, deploying, and monitoring a machine learning model. The book starts by explaining the features of Comet, along with exploratory data analysis and model evaluation in Comet. You’ll see how Comet gives you the freedom to choose from a selection of programming languages, depending on which is best suited to your needs. Next, you will focus on workspaces, projects, experiments, and models. You will also learn how to build a narrative from your data, using the features provided by Comet. Later, you will review the basic concepts behind DevOps and how to extend the GitLab DevOps platform with Comet, further enhancing your ability to deploy your data science projects. Finally, you will cover various use cases of Comet in machine learning, NLP, deep learning, and time series analysis, gaining hands-on experience with some of the most interesting and valuable data science techniques available. By the end of this book, you will be able to confidently build data science pipelines according to bespoke specifications and manage them through Comet.

Chapter 8: Comet for Machine Learning

Artificial intelligence (AI) is the ability of a computer to perform operations and tasks that are usually done by humans. AI includes different subfields, such as machine learning, natural language processing, deep learning, and time series analysis. In this chapter, we will focus on machine learning, and in the following ones, you will review other subfields of AI, including natural language processing (Chapter 9,Comet for Natural Language Processing), deep learning (Chapter 10, Comet for Deep Learning), and time series analysis (Chapter 11, Comet for Time Series Analysis).

Machine learning aims at using computational algorithms to transform data into usable models. In other words, machine learning tries to build models that learn from data. You can use machine learning algorithms for different purposes and in different domains, such as describing a phenomenon, predicting future values, or detecting anomalies in a phenomenon under investigation...
