Session Goal

The session aimed to explore and develop a REST API for integrating machine learning models, focusing on the diamonds dataset.

Key Activities

• Reviewed essential knowledge for creating REST APIs, including RESTful services and web development fundamentals.
• Developed a machine learning model as a REST API, covering data preparation, model training, API development, containerization, deployment, and documentation.
• Planned a GCP-based infrastructure for cloud-based training and serving, focusing on containerization and deployment.
• Considered architectural aspects for scalable and robust ML systems.
• Evaluated a forked repository for development skills, focusing on commit history and documentation.
• Proposed a repository structure for the Diamonds ML API project with a focus on modularity and GCP integration.
• Pitched the Diamonds ML API project, outlining project structure and cloud integration plans.
• Set the OPENAI_API_KEY environment variable for accessing OpenAI’s API.
• Handled Markdown characters in bash commands for documentation purposes.
• Analyzed the software structure for the Diamonds1 project using ChatDev.
• Optimized parameters in ChatDev’s run.py for the Diamonds ML API project.
• Compared Flask scripts for diamond price prediction, highlighting strengths and areas for improvement.

Achievements

• Successfully outlined the framework and workflow for developing a REST API for a machine learning model.
• Established a clear plan for GCP infrastructure and repository structure.
• Optimized ChatDev configurations for the specific project needs.

Pending Tasks

• Further refine the Flask applications for better integration and performance.
• Complete the deployment process on GCP and test the full API functionality.
