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 4: Workspaces, Projects, Experiments, and Models

Comet is an experimentation platform that permits you to track, monitor, and compare experiments within a data science project. So far, you have learned some basic concepts, including how to create and deal with workspaces, projects, experiments, panels, and reports. You have also learned how to compare experiments, customize panels, and store models in the Comet Registry.

In this chapter, you will deepen your understanding of some concepts regarding Comet, including how to add collaborators to your workspaces or projects, how to publish your projects, advanced techniques to manage experiments, and how to perform parameter optimization in Comet. In addition, you will learn how to implement a Comet experiment using R or Java as the main programming language. Finally, you will extend the basic examples implemented in Chapter 1, An Overview of Comet, with the advanced concepts learned in this chapter.
