Training Random Forest 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.

Random Forest Models

Random forest is a machine learning algorithm that combines the output of multiple decision trees to reach a single result. It is a flexible and easy-to-use algorithm that handles both classification and regression problems. Random forest models are popular because they produce great results most of the time even without hyperparameter tuning. Random forest models are popular because they offer a variety of advantages such as accuracy, efficiency, versatility, and relative ease of use. They can handle large datasets with minimal data transformations and work fine with large datasets also datasets with a higher dimension. Random forest models can handle both classification and regression problems and can build prediction models using random forest regression trees. They are based on ensemble learning, which integrates multiple classifiers to solve a complex issue and increases the model's performance.
Open source orchestrators like Prefect are one of the primary means by which companies train random forest 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.
