Abstract

MLflow is a popular open source platform for managing ML development, including experiment tracking, reproducibility, and deployment. In this paper, we discuss user feedback collected since MLflow was launched in 2018, as well as three major features we have introduced in response to this feedback: a Model Registry for collaborative model management and review, tools for simplifying ML code instrumentation, and experiment analytics functions for extracting insights from millions of ML experiments.

Recomputing p-values needs the paper’s full text.

Claims the paper makes

This paper’s full text isn’t openly available, so its claims and self-check weren’t run. The registry and citation checks still apply.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • The model could also be packaged in a format specific to an end-to-end framework such as MLflow.

    “The model could also be packaged in a format specific to an end-to-end framework such as MLflowfoot_4 [10].”
  • Edge deployments are often reported as being more challenging than cloud deployments because of hardware resource heterogeneity, the typically distributed nature of edge devices, and possibly varying network connection quality.

    “Edge deployments are often reported as being more challenging than cloud deployments because of hardware resource heterogeneity, the typically distributed nature of edge devices, and possibly varying network connection quality [7,10,20,22,39,53].”
  • Polyaxon, MLflow, TFX, ZenML, Flyte, Seldon Core, BentoML, and Amazon SageMaker are among the more fully integrated platforms for operationalizing ML.

    “Polyaxon 9 , MLflow 10 , TFX 11 , ZenML 12 , Flyte 13 , Seldon Core 14 and BentoML 15 are some of the more fully-integrated platforms that exist [10,45], along with the Amazon-exclusive Sage-Maker 16 [9,45].”
  • Monitoring ML models is challenging but is required in order to detect performance degradations and build confidence in the models.

    “Monitoring ML models is challenging [6,28,41], but is required in order to detect performance degradations and build confidence in the models [7,10].”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
