⭐ Priority: MEDIUM

Session Goal

The session aimed to enhance and troubleshoot various aspects of machine learning model pipelines, including naming conventions, training, evaluation, retraining, and data preprocessing.

Key Activities

  • Discussed best practices for naming conventions in model saving to ensure clarity and organization.
  • Outlined steps to fit a machine learning model using a pipeline, evaluate its performance, and save the trained model with a descriptive filename.
  • Developed methods for saving model predictions to CSV files during retraining to enhance data accessibility.
  • Implemented dynamic model retraining and plot updating in web applications using JavaScript and Flask.
  • Troubleshot issues related to undefined model names in API calls and float conversion errors in model predictions.
  • Integrated preprocessing steps in model prediction pipelines and addressed errors related to unknown categories in data transformation.

Achievements

  • Established a comprehensive guide for naming conventions and model management.
  • Successfully implemented and tested model training, evaluation, and retraining pipelines.
  • Enhanced API endpoints for better error handling and data preprocessing integration.

Pending Tasks

  • Further refine the preprocessing pipeline to handle new categories more gracefully.
  • Continue testing and debugging API endpoints to ensure robust backend communication and frontend updates.
