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 6: Integrating Comet into DevOps

Model deployment and monitoring are the last two steps in a data science project life cycle. The former permits you to move your project from testing to production, and the latter provides with you all the strategies and tools to ensure that your project is running without errors, secure, and updated.

You can implement model deployment by adopting a particular philosophy, called DevOps. DevOps (short for Development and Operations) is a set of best practices that permit software developers and operations teams to collaborate during the whole software project life cycle to improve software development, speed, and efficiency through automatic techniques.

As you have already learned from the previous chapters, Comet permits you to track and monitor all your experiments, thus you can use it during the monitoring phase. So, you can easily integrate Comet into the DevOps strategy to monitor your model during the production phase.
