Presenting My Research on Versioning Strategies for Data Science & ML Projects

I recently had the privilege of presenting my research on Data Version Control (DVC) at the Experts Meetup hosted by the Cloud Centre of Excellence at Vodafone Germany's Düsseldorf campus.

In my paper, I delved into various versioning strategies tailored for Data Science and Machine Learning projects, highlighting the importance of reproducible and collaborative research methodologies.

During my presentation, I included live demonstrations and hands-on exercises to illustrate key concepts and best practices in data versioning.

Feel free to check out my GitHub repository for the live demo code and a comprehensive tutorial.

Topics Covered in My Research Paper

Understanding Versioning

  • Introduction to Versioning: Exploring the basics and significance of version control.
  • Evolution of Versioning Practices: How versioning has evolved in the data science landscape.
  • Benefits and Limitations of Git: Analyzing what Git offers and where it falls short for data projects.
  • Data Version Control with DVC: Introducing DVC as a solution for data-centric versioning.
  • Integrating Git and DVC: Combining the strengths of Git and DVC for an optimized workflow.

DVC Fundamentals

  • Initializing a DVC Repository: Step-by-step guide to setting up DVC in your project.
  • Adding Data to DVC: Best practices for incorporating data files into DVC.
  • Comparing DVC with Git: Understanding the differences and when to use each tool.

Essential DVC Commands

  • dvc get: Retrieve files from a remote repository effortlessly.
  • dvc add & dvc commit: Efficiently add and commit data files to DVC.
  • dvc remote: Configure and manage remote storage options with DVC.
  • dvc push: Seamlessly push your data to remote storage.
  • Tracking Data Files with DVC: Keeping a robust record of your data files.

Advanced DVC Features

  • DVC Pipelines: Creating and managing comprehensive data pipelines.
  • Experiment Tracking: Monitoring experiments with varying data, code, and models.
  • Metrics & Plots: Visualizing model performance through detailed metrics and plots.
