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 2: Exploratory Data Analysis in Comet

To successfully carry out a data science project, we must first try to understand the data and ask ourselves the right questions. Exploratory Data Analysis (EDA) is precisely this preliminary phase that allows you to extract important information from data, and understand which questions data can and cannot answer. Therefore, a data science project should always include the EDA phase.

There are several tools for carrying out EDA, some of which require specific programming skills, such as the many visual libraries provided by Python and JavaScript, as well as others that do not, such as Tableau and Weka.

As already seen in the previous chapter, Comet is an experimentation platform that can be used in almost all phases of a data science project life cycle. In this chapter, we will see how to use Comet to perform EDA. Comet provides different features we can use to perform EDA, including panels, reports, and metric logs. We will also...
