Training Neural Network Models using Prefect

Prefect

Prefect is an open-source workflow management system that allows you to build, schedule, and monitor data workflows. It enables you to transform any Python function into a unit of work that can be observed and orchestrated. Prefect can be used for various use cases such as ETL pipelines, machine learning workflows, data warehousing, and more. It has a dynamic engine and ephemeral API that makes it easy to run workflows interactively during the building phase. Prefect also offers the ability to cache and persist inputs and outputs for large files and expensive operations, improving development time when debugging.

Neural Network Models

Neural networks are computing systems with interconnected nodes that work much like neurons in the human brain. They rely on training data to learn and improve their accuracy over time. Neural networks simulate how the brain learns by using multiple layers of nodes (input, hidden, and output) and they're able to learn both in supervised and unsupervised situations. They can recognize hidden patterns and correlations in raw data, cluster and classify it, and, over time, continuously learn and improve. Neural networks have many applications such as image recognition, speech recognition, natural language processing, autonomous vehicles, robotics, and more.
Open source orchestrators like Prefect are one of the primary means by which companies train neural network models in production. Prefect offers a mechanism to schedule and monitor these jobs as part of more complex workflow graphs. Kaspian has a native operator for Prefect; this operator makes it easy to either swap to or get started with training pipelines that utilize Kaspian's flexible compute layer, with native support for autoscaling, GPU acceleration, and more.
