gensim VS MLflow

This is our optimization problem. Now, we hope that you have an idea of what our goal is. Luckily for us, this is already implemented in a Python module called gensim. Yes, these guys are brilliant in natural language processing and we will make use of it. 🤝

Standout python NLP libraries include Spacy and Gensim, as well as pre-trained model availability in Hugginface. These libraries have widespread use in and support from industry and it shows. Spacy has best-in-class methods for pre-processing text for further applications. Gensim helps you manage your corpus of documents, and contains a lot of different tools for solving a common industry task, topic modeling.

Here we have to install the gensim library in a jupyter notebook to be able to use it in our project, consider the code below;

Nice work! I wonder if you're going the same challenges that gensim had for being generic in summarization.

For context:

> Despite its general-sounding name, the module will not satisfy the majority of use cases in production and is likely to waste people's time.

TextRank will work without any problems. https://radimrehurek.com/gensim/

For the topic modelling itself, I am going to use Gensim library by Radim Rehurek, which is very developer friendly and easy to use.

How can this be? The current state of practice in AI/ML work requires adaptivity, which is uncommon in classical computational fields. There are myriad tools that capture the work across the many instances of the AI/ML lifecycle. The idea that any one tool could sufficiently capture the dynamic work is unrealistic. Take, for example, an experiment tracking tool like W&B or MLFlow; some form of experiment tracking is necessary in typical model training lifecycles. Such a tool requires some notion of a dataset. However, a tool focusing on experiment tracking is orthogonal to the needs of analyzing model performance at the data sample level, which is critical to understanding the failure modes of models. The way one does this depends on the type of data and the AI/ML task at hand. In other words, MLOps is inherently an intricate mosaic, as the capabilities and best practices of AI/ML work evolve.

MLflow is an open-source platform for managing the end-to-end machine learning lifecycle. It includes features for experiment tracking, model versioning, and deployment, enabling developers to track and compare experiments, package models into reproducible runs, and manage model deployment across multiple environments.

Platforms such as MLflow monitor the development stages of machine learning models. In parallel, Data Version Control (DVC) brings version control system-like functions to the realm of data sets and models.

MLflow:

In search for a tool that needs comparable configuration I looked into mlflow and found this. https://github.com/mlflow/mlflow/blob/master/mlflow/environment_variables.py There they define a class _EnvironmentVariable and create many objects out of it, for any variable they need. The get method of this class is in principle a decorated os.getenv. Maybe that is something I can take as orientation.

I have been using DVC and MLflow since then DVC had only data tracking and MLflow only model tracking. I can say both are awesome now and maybe the only factor I would like to mention is that IMO, MLflow is a bit harder to learn while DVC is just a git practically.
