Experiment tracking tools, like MLflow, are among the most popular in the field of machine learning for tracking your work as a data scientist. However, managing machine learning projects involves much more than just tracking models.

‍

Properly documenting machine learning experiments, models, and datasets is crucial for the maintainability of models, effective communication with stakeholders, and driving business impact. However, thoroughly documenting ML projects is tedious and time-consuming. MLflow offers an excellent solution for tracking experiments, yet the model information remains isolated, making it challenging to collaborate with the rest of the organization. This is where Vectice comes in.

Go From Minimal to Complete Documentation

Vectice integrates seamlessly with your existing MLflow setup. If you are a Databricks user, you can also use Vectice MLflow integration inside Databricks to document your experiments. This integration also works well with the Databricks table structure and allows for automatic documentation of datasets to Vectice. This happens with just a few lines of code with Vectice’s Python library, targeting an MLflow run ID. This enables instant documentation and sharing of key assets, including model and dataset metadata which are critical pieces of the ML lifecycle documentation.

Plain English Documentation Tailored to Any Audience

With your MLflow assets existing in Vectice, we can now auto-generate the full project documentation tailored to specific audiences. This simplifies the collaboration with various stakeholders, including those in technical roles, legal, model risk management, and business teams, and ensures alignment in the organization.

Trigger Vectice on Past Models

In your modeling workflow, you may log many experiments in MLflow that aren't critical to your project's success or insightful for sharing. Sifting through numerous MLflow experiment runs can be overwhelming and often irrelevant to be shared with other stakeholders. Vectice simplifies this by allowing you to document key experiments and models, central to your insights and decision-making. With Vectice MLFlow integration, you can document existing MLFlow runs with a few lines of code into Vectice.
