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 5: Building a Narrative in Comet

Data narrative, also known as data storytelling, is the art of telling stories starting from data. It is not simply a matter of summarizing the data but of building compelling stories, which can attract not only the attention of the audience they are aimed at but also arouse emotions that push the audience to action.

Data narrative is one of the final processes of the data science project life cycle and can be implemented either in parallel with the model deployment phase or immediately after.

In this chapter, you will review the basic concepts and techniques to build a narrative from data, including an overview of the Data, Information, Knowledge and Wisdom (DIKW) pyramid, and learn how to turn your data into a story. Then, you will learn how to build a narrative in Comet, using the concepts you are already familiar with, such as panels and reports. You will also implement two practical examples.
