Session Goal

The session aimed to troubleshoot and resolve various issues related to the integration of Flask APIs with JavaScript for model prediction and management.

Key Activities

  • KeyError Troubleshooting: Addressed a KeyError in the prediction logic by ensuring data consistency and proper preprocessing.
  • 404 Error Resolution: Resolved multiple 404 Not Found errors by verifying route definitions, registering blueprints, and correcting AJAX requests in the Flask application.
  • Model Retrieval Update: Modified the get_models() function and updated JavaScript code to dynamically populate dropdown menus with model filenames.
  • Model Metadata Management: Improved the handling of model metadata in both JavaScript and Python.
  • Prediction Logic Integration: Integrated data preprocessing and model prediction within the Flask /predict endpoint.
  • Git Commit Organization: Structured Git commits for clarity and logical grouping.

Achievements

  • Successfully resolved 404 errors and improved API endpoint accessibility.
  • Enhanced the model selection and prediction logic in the web application.
  • Improved the management and retrieval of model metadata.
  • Organized Git commits to reflect best practices in version control.

Pending Tasks

  • Further testing of the /retrain endpoint to ensure no additional 404 errors occur.
  • Continuous monitoring and debugging of the Flask and JavaScript integration to maintain robust data flow.
