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.

To get the most out of this book

You should have a basic knowledge of data science, as well as its general objectives. In addition, you should be familiar with the Python language, and, in particular with the pandas and matplotlib libraries.

You will need a version of Python installed on your computer – Python 3.8, if possible. Almost all code examples have been tested using macOS Monterey 12.0.1, with the exception of software in Chapter 10, Comet for Deep Learning, which has been tested on Google Colab. However, code examples should work with future version releases too.

You should notice that the code examples described in Chapter 4, Workspaces, Projects, Experiments, and Models, require a different version of Java with respect to those described in Chapter 9, Comet for Natural Language Processing.

In addition, to make Comet work, you need to sign up to the Comet platform (https://www.comet.com/signup) and create an account.

If you are using the digital version of this book, we advise you to type the code yourself or access the code from the book’s GitHub repository (a link is available in the next section). Doing so will help you avoid any potential errors related to the copying and pasting of code.
