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 have just completed the journey to perform model evaluation in Comet!

Throughout this chapter, we described some general concepts regarding model evaluation, as well as the main techniques to evaluate regression, classification, and clustering. We also illustrated the importance of model evaluation in a data science project; model evaluation permits us to define some metrics to choose the best model for production.

In the third part of the chapter, you learned which features Comet provides to perform model evaluation and how you can use them through a practical example. We deepened the concepts of logs and reports, which you already knew about, and illustrated two new concepts, the Comet Dashboard and the Model Registry.

Throughout this chapter, you learned how easy it is to use Comet to run model evaluation, as Comet provides very intuitive features that can be combined to build fantastic reports, as well as how to keep track of the best model for production...
