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 just completed the journey through advanced concepts in Comet!

Throughout this chapter, you learned how to share projects and workspaces with your collaborators, as well as how to make them public or private. In addition, you learned some advanced concepts on experiments and models.

Regarding experiments, you learned about the concept of offline experiments, which permitted you to run an experiment if the internet connection is not available. In addition, you learned about the concept of existing experiments, which permitted you to continue an experiment—for example, by enriching or extending it.

Regarding models, you learned how to optimize model parameters, through the concept of the Comet Optimizer. Using the Comet Optimizer makes it simple to choose the best parameters for a given model.

Finally, you extended the basic examples defined in Chapter 1, An Overview of Comet, with the concepts described in this chapter.

In the next chapter, you will...
