I recently came across this paper on LinkedIn, which I thought was a particularly valuable source, both in itself and for further reading. I enjoyed reading it and learned a lot of new things, made a summary for myself and figured I would share it.

Work with data and code? Do you ever need to report your results?

By linking your reports to your runs, results and code, you never have to manually update a number or plot again.

Using MLFlow and Jupyter Book (or R Bookdown) and a few simple tricks to organise your workflow, it’s easy to keep track of your code, your reports and your runs so that you can always reproduce and retrace any number or plot you’ll ever create or report.

About

Astrophysicist turned data scientist. Enjoys thinking about all the things that could be wrong with his models. Has strong opinions on how to organise data science work after seeing too many disillusioned academics and corporate data scientists. Believes machine learning and big data will cause more harm than good if not regulated. Sleeps with one eye open. Usually hides his cynicism better than this.
