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.

Exploring the TensorFlow package

TensorFlow is an open source library for deep learning released by the Google Brain team. It supports different programming languages, including Python and Javascript. You can use TensorFlow for different purposes, especially for audio and image analysis. In this chapter, we will focus on TensorFlow 2.x. Since training a model in TensorFlow could be time and resource-consuming, TensorFlow also provides many pre-trained models, stored in the TensorFlow Hub, available at the following link: https://www.tensorflow.org/hub.

Running TensorFlow on your local machine could be computationally expensive and resource-consuming, thus you use Google Colab, a collaborative framework provided by Google, to train your models. In fact, Google Colab provides you with free access to GPU and powerful machines. Google Colab is a valid alternative to Jupyter Notebook and is compatible with it. You can run your first Google Colab notebook at the following link: https...
