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 3: Model Evaluation in Comet

Before accepting a data science model, we need to evaluate it, to establish whether it is ready for production or not. Model evaluation is the process of assessing whether a trained model performs as expected. Usually, we perform model evaluation on a different dataset from the one on which the model was trained.

In this chapter, you will review the basic concepts behind model evaluation, such as data splitting, how to choose metrics for evaluation, and basic concepts behind error analysis. In addition, you will see the main model evaluation techniques for the different data science tasks (classification, regression, and clustering).

Finally, you will learn how to perform model evaluation in Comet by deepening some concepts that you already know, such as experiments, panels, and reports, as well as introducing new concepts, including hyperparameter tuning, model registry, and queries.

Throughout the chapter, you will also implement a practical...
