Description
Summary:© 2019 VLDB Endowment. Data scientists spend over 80% of their time (1) parameter-tuning machine learning models and (2) iterating between data cleaning and machine learning model execution. While there are existing efforts to support the first requirement, there is currently no integrated workflow system that couples data cleaning and machine learning development. The previous version of Data Civilizer was geared towards data cleaning and discovery using a set of pre-defined tools. In this paper, we introduce Data Civilizer 2.0, an end-to-end workflow system satisfying both requirements. In addition, this system also supports a sophisticated data debugger and a workflow visualization system. In this demo, we will show how we used Data Civilizer 2.0 to help scientists at the Massachusetts General Hospital build their cleaning and machine learning pipeline on their 30TB brain activity dataset.
