MLflow VS Prophet

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.

Dumb question, how does this lib compare to other libs like MLFlow, https://mlflow.org/?

While Transformers already includes integration with MLflow, users still have to provide their own MLflow server, either locally or on a Cloud provider. And that can be a bit of a pain.

I have an old labmate who uses a similar setup with MLFlow and can endorse it.

MLflow - an open-source platform for managing your ML lifecycle. What’s great is that they also support popular Python libraries like TensorFlow, PyTorch, scikit-learn, and R.

even for people who don't have an ML background there's now a lot of very fully-featured model deployment environments that allow self-hosting (kubeflow has a good self-hosting option, as do mlflow and metaflow), handle most of the complicated stuff involved in just deploying an individual model, and work pretty well off the shelf.

Here, we’ll implement the experimentation workflow using DagsHub, Google Colab, MLflow, and data version control (DVC). We’ll focus on how to do this without diving deep into the technicalities of building or designing a workbench from scratch. Going that route might increase the complexity involved, especially if you are in the early stages of understanding ML workflows, just working on a small project, or trying to implement a proof of concept.

MLflow

I am seeing growing demand for MLflow (https://mlflow.org/) and I am seeing a lot of people looking at Databricks as commercial offering for MLflow. Alternatively, some popele are implementing something like Managing your Machine Learning lifecycle with MLflow. Therefore, I think this was on my wish list last year, but I really hope AWS announce a Managed MLFlow Service. I know version 2.X is too new but at least 1.X would be great start.

My rescue came from discovering some of the alternatives to ARIMA/SARIMA, which was the extent of what we had covered for time series data. A series of searches eventually led me to some automated time series analysis packages, one of which was Prophet, an open source time series package released by Facebook's core data science team. This was a life saver, being a much more efficient and more effective forecasting tool than sloooowly iterating through ARIMA/SARIMA models that seemed to want to fight with me. If you're going to do a time series analysis for your capstone, I strongly suggest taking a look at using Prophet.

Prophet

Prophet

Prophet: Automação preditiva.

Prophet - It is a time-series forecasting library built by Facebook. Prophet is a procedure for forecasting time series data based on an additive model where non-linear trends are fit with yearly, weekly, and daily seasonality, plus holiday effects. It works best with time series that have strong seasonal effects and several seasons of historical data. Prophet is robust to missing data and shifts in the trend, and typically handles outliers well. Link - https://github.com/facebook/prophet

We run an anomaly detection app powered by Facebook's Prophet forecasting library. It tells us if metrics dip or rise in unexpected ways ("Did signups drop? Is something broken with that flow?"). We built the service because customers kept reaching out to tell us some feature broke before we noticed. Normally these issues show up in product data, so the app looks for these anomalies and tells us when they happen.
