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 basic NLP concepts

NLP is a subfield of artificial intelligence, aimed at analyzing and synthesizing human language and speech. You can use these models for different purposes, such as translation, chatbots, spam filters, grammar correction software, and voice assistants. NLP has become very popular in the last few years, thanks to the spread of huge quantities of text that can be analyzed to build very domain-specific tools.

The section is organized as follows:

  • Exploring the NLP workflow
  • Classifying NLP systems
  • Exploring NLP challenges
  • Reviewing the most popular models’ hubs

Let’s start from the first step, exploring the NLP workflow.

Exploring the NLP workflow

The following figure shows the simplest NLP workflow:

The workflow involves the following steps:

  • Text preprocessing – This step involves preparing text for further analysis. Typically...
