neptune-client alternatives and similar packages

PyPI version neptune-blog twitter youtube

Flexible metadata store for MLOps, built for research and production teams that run a lot of experiments.

Neptune is a lightweight solution designed for:

• Experiment tracking: log, display, organize, and compare ML experiments in a single place.
• Model registry: version, store, manage, and query trained models and model-building metadata.
• Monitoring ML runs live: record and monitor model training, evaluation, or production runs live.

Getting started

Step 1: Sign up for a free account

Step 2: Install the Neptune client library

pip install neptune-client

Step 3: Connect Neptune to your code

import neptune.new as neptune
run = neptune.init_run(
 project="common/quickstarts",
 api_token=neptune.ANONYMOUS_API_TOKEN,
)
run["parameters"] = {
 "batch_size": 64,
 "dropout": 0.2,
 "optim": {"learning_rate": 0.001, "optimizer": "Adam"},
}
for epoch in range(100):
 run["train/accuracy"].log(epoch * 0.6)
 run["train/loss"].log(epoch * 0.4)
run["f1_score"] = 0.66

Features

Log and display

Neptune supports log and display for many different types of metadata generated during the ML model lifecycle:

• metrics and learning curves
• parameters, tags, and properties
• code, Git info, files, and Jupyter notebooks
• hardware consumption (CPU, GPU, memory)
• images, interactive charts, and HTML objects
• audio and video files
• tables and CSV files
• and more

Compare

You can compare model-building runs you log to Neptune using various comparison views:

• Charts: where you can compare learning curves for metrics or losses
• Images: where you can compare images across runs
• Parallel coordinates: where you can see parameters and metrics displayed on a parallel coordinates plot
• Side-by-side: which shows you the difference between runs in a table format
• Artifacts: where you can compare datasets, models, and other artifacts that you version in Neptune
• Notebooks: which shows you the difference between notebooks (or checkpoints of the same notebook) logged to the project

Filter and organize

Filter, sort, and group model training runs using highly configurable dashboards.

Collaborate

Improve team management and collaboration by grouping all experiments into projects and workspaces and quickly sharing any result or visualization within the team.

Integrate with your favourite ML libraries

Neptune comes with 25+ integrations with Python libraries popular in machine learning, deep learning and reinforcement learning. Available integrations:

• PyTorch and PyTorch Lightning
• TensorFlow / Keras and TensorBoard
• Scikit-learn, LightGBM, and XGBoost
• Optuna, Scikit-Optimize, and Keras Tuner
• Bokeh, Altair, Plotly, and Matplotlib
• and more

PyTorch Lightning

Example:

from pytorch_lightning import Trainer
from pytorch_lightning.loggers import NeptuneLogger
# Create NeptuneLogger
neptune_logger = NeptuneLogger(
 api_key="ANONYMOUS", # replace with your own
 project="common/pytorch-lightning-integration", # "WORKSPACE_NAME/PROJECT_NAME"
 tags=["training", "resnet"], # optional
)
# Pass it to the Trainer
trainer = Trainer(max_epochs=10, logger=neptune_logger)
# Run training
trainer.fit(my_model, my_dataloader)
