This page covers on how to manage and use dataapps.

DataApps

DataApps are interactive visualizations built using React, designed for four main problem types within Rapid Model Recipes: Binary Classification, Regression, Multi-Class Classification, and Binary Experimental.

You can create two types of DataApps: Model DataApps and Custom DataApps.

Model DataApps: These are dependent on a trained model and can only be created if a project includes one. They focus on visualizing the performance and predictions of the specific model in your project.

Custom DataApps: These are not tied to a specific model and support a variety of inputs, making them flexible for different data sources. Custom DataApps can be built using:

  • Project Canvas Datasets: Use all datasets available on the project canvas, including any user-uploaded datasets. This option also allows you to use AskAI to explore these datasets interactively.

  • Uploaded Datasets: You can apply AskAI to analyze any datasets you upload, providing a straightforward way to explore your data without needing a model.

  • SQL Sources: Connect directly to MySQL databases through pre-configured connectors, allowing you to fetch and analyze data directly from these sources using AskAI.

  • Documents and PDFs: Allows you to upload documents in formats like PDF, DOC, and DOCX directly into the DataApp. Once uploaded, the Ask AI feature allows users to query the document contents, enabling quick extraction of insights, information analysis, and text-based responses.

  • Prediction services: Allows you to select a pre-configured prediction service linked to your project. This allows you to query the AI model directly through the Ask AI interface.

On the other hand, the DataApps can also be built by writing Python code on Juypter Notebook. If the DataApps are built from Notebook, business users can consume those once are deployed by data scientists. The data scientist will first create an app template on the Juypter Notebook and uses this app template to deploy the dataapp passing a project ID, scenario, artifact, or model. Business users can only view and delete the dataapps published onto the UI from the Notebook, but cannot create, modify the app templates. All the app templates created in a tenant are saved in the Data app module.

If you want to generate a chart, you can either create a custom template on the Notebook or use an existing system template. Examples of system templates you can use to generate the chart after building the machine learning flows are - Correlation Matrix, EDA data drift, Pivot Table viewer, Visual Analytics, Pandas Profiler, and so on. Using a system or custom template, you can generate the charts only with the default Streamlit version. Contrary to this, dataapps support all Streamlit versions.

The app template is similar to system templates, but app templates can only be used to generate dataapps(charts).

Accessing and Creating a Model DataApp at a project level

Use this procedure to create a model DataApp in a project. After you run the data pipeline for any of these four problem types such as binary classification, regression, multi-class classification, or binary experimental problems, the DataApp button gets enabled.

  1. Click the menu icon and select Projects

  2. Select the project for which you want to create DataApps and click the DataApps icon from the project level navigation.

_images/datapps.gif

Note

The DataApps will become inactive after a certain period set by the admin. If you want to use DataApps, you must relaunch.

  1. Click Relaunch on the DataApp card that you want to launch again.

  2. Click on the Dataapp. The screen displays the following tabs:

Feature importance - Assigning scores to input features based on how helpful they are in predicting a target variable. These scores are ranked to help users understand which features have a significant impact on model prediction.

_images/dataapps_12.png

Model performance - This evaluates the performance of the model.

_images/modelperforamnce.png

What-If analysis - Help data scientists to get insights into what a model predicts for given input values. This allows them to experiment with various combinations of values for key features and observe the resulting predictions.

_images/whatif.png

You can use the sliders to change the values or use drop-down to select values and click Predict What-If Outcome to review what the model predicts for the given input values.

_images/whatif1.png

Prediction - You can perform predictions on the uploaded dataset. For more information, see Performing predictions on the uploaded dataset.

Performing predictions on the uploaded dataset
