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.

Implementing Docker

Docker is one of the most popular containerization platforms, which constitutes the basic building block to run DevOps applications. Podman and BuildKit are other popular containerization platforms that are available as alternatives to Docker. In general, a containerization platform permits you to run a single application in an isolated environment. In Docker, this is achieved by wrapping your application in a Docker container, which contains your code, the operating system, and all required libraries used by your code. Within a Docker container, you can run a Docker image, which is the object in your filesystem that wraps your application.

As an alternative to Docker, you can use a virtual machine, which also provides an isolated environment and a ready-to-run code for your application. However, Docker is much smaller and easier to port than virtual machines.

As with any application, a Comet experiment can also be launched in a Docker container. In this section...
