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.

Introducing machine learning

Machine learning is a subfield of AI that aims to build models that automatically learn from data. You can use these models for different purposes, such as describing a particular phenomenon, predicting future values, or detecting anomalies in an observed phenomenon. Machine learning has become very popular in recent years thanks to the spread of huge quantities of data that derive from different sources, such as social media, open data, sensors, and so on.

The section is organized as follows:

  • Exploring the machine learning workflow
  • Classifying machine learning systems
  • Exploring machine learning challenges
  • Explaining machine learning models

Let’s start with the first step: exploring the machine learning workflow.
