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.

Summary

We just completed our first steps in the journey of getting started with Comet!

Throughout this chapter, we described the motivation and purpose of the Comet platform, as well as how to get started with it. We showed that Comet can be used in almost all the steps of a data science project.

We also illustrated the concepts of workspaces, projects, experiments, and panels, and we set up the environment to work with Comet. Finally, we implemented two practical examples to get familiar with Comet.

Now that you have learned the basic concepts and we have set up the environment, we can move on to more specific and complex features provided by Comet.

In the next chapter, we will review some concepts about EDA and how to perform it in Comet.
