Using Dataiku​

To get started with Dataiku, follow these simple steps:

Create a New Project​

Open the application in your browser. To create a new project:

  • From the homepage, click on the "New Project" button.
  • Choose a project template (e.g., Data Science, Machine Learning, or others).
  • Give your project a name and description, and then create it.

Import Data​

Dataiku supports a wide variety of data sources. You can import data from databases or cloud services, or even APIs:

  • Go to the "Flow" tab of your project.
  • Click on the "+" button and choose "Dataset."
  • Select the data source and follow the prompts to import your data.

  1. Data Preparation: Once your data is imported, use the "Flow" view to perform data preprocessing. You can use built-in recipes to clean, filter, or transform your data:

    • Select your dataset in the "Flow" view.
    • Click on "Prepare" to start cleaning and processing your data (e.g., handling missing values, encoding categorical variables).
    • You can also use visual tools to create data pipelines.

  2. Build a Machine Learning Model: Dataiku offers various tools to train machine learning models. You can use the built-in AutoML feature or manually configure machine learning algorithms:

    • Go to the "Lab" tab and select "Visual Machine Learning."
    • Choose a target variable and select an algorithm (e.g., Random Forest, Gradient Boosting).
    • Train the model and evaluate its performance using cross-validation.

  3. Deploy the Model: After building and evaluating your model, you can deploy it to make predictions on new data:

    • Click on the "Deploy" tab and select "Create a Model Deployment."
    • Follow the instructions to deploy the model via APIs or batch processing.

  4. Collaborate with Your Team: Dataiku allows you to collaborate with team members by sharing projects, datasets, and workflows. You can create workflows that are shareable across your organization, and track changes using version control.
