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.

Exploring the Comet UI

The Comet UI provides a very useful dashboard that you can use to organize and track experiments. As already described in Chapter 1, An Overview of Comet, the Comet UI is organized into workspaces and projects. Conceptually, a workspace is a container for similar projects, while a project is a container for experiments involving the same task.

In this section, you will learn some advanced concepts regarding workspaces and projects. So, let’s start with the first one: workspaces.

Workspaces

A Comet workspace is a collection of projects. In Chapter 1, An Overview of Comet, you have already learned how to create a new workspace and how to add a new project to an existing workspace. In this section, you will learn how to add collaborators to a workspace.

To add a collaborator to a workspace, you need to sign up for at least a Teams plan or, alternatively, an Academic plan, which is free, as explained in Chapter 1, An Overview of Comet. Depending...
