Elyra Component Library - The Component Library for AI, Machine Learning, ETL, and Data Science

TL;DR

  • set of re-usable coarse-grained components (just a bunch of code)
  • think of tasks, not functions (e.g. read from database, transform data, train model, deploy model, ...)
  • write once, runs everywhere (export to Kubeflow, Apache Airflow, Apache Nifi, ...)
  • just use python, no other skills required (no Kubeflow component yaml, maven, Java, ...)
  • 1st class citizen in JupyterLab and the Elyra Pipeline Editor (creating a low code / no code IDE for data science)
  • upstream repository to IBM Watson Studio Pipelines contributed components in IBM Cloud Pak for Data

This is a component library for artificial intelligence, machine learning, "extract, transform, load" processes and data science. The goal is to enable low-code/no-code rapid prototyping by providing ready-made components for various business domains, supporting various computer languages, working on various data flow editors and running on diverse execution engines. To demonstrate its utility, we constructed a workflow composed exclusively of this library's components. To demonstrate the capabilities of this library, we made use of a publicly available Computed Tomography (CT) scans dataset [covidata] and created a deep learning model, which is supposed to classify exams as either COVID-19 positive or negative. The pipeline was built with Elyra's Pipeline Visual Editor, with support for local, Airflow and Kubeflow execution https://arxiv.org/abs/2103.03281.

Components of this library can be exported as:

  1. KubeFlow pipeline components
  2. Apache Airflow components
  3. Standalone graphical components for the Elyra pipeline editor
  4. Standalone components to be run from the command line

Each notebook is following a similar format.

  1. The first cell contains a description of the component itself.
  2. The second cell installs all dependencies using pip3.
  3. The third cell imports all dependencies.
  4. The fourth cell contains a list of dependencies, input parameters, and return values as Python comments
  5. The fifth cell reads the input parameters from environment variables.
