Training Computer Vision Models using Prefect

Prefect

Prefect is an open-source workflow management system that allows you to build, schedule, and monitor data workflows. It enables you to transform any Python function into a unit of work that can be observed and orchestrated. Prefect can be used for various use cases such as ETL pipelines, machine learning workflows, data warehousing, and more. It has a dynamic engine and ephemeral API that makes it easy to run workflows interactively during the building phase. Prefect also offers the ability to cache and persist inputs and outputs for large files and expensive operations, improving development time when debugging.

Computer Vision Models

Computer vision (CV) is a field of artificial intelligence (AI) that enables computers and systems to derive meaningful information from digital images, videos and other visual inputs and take actions or make recommendations based on that information. It trains convolutional neural networks to develop human-like vision capabilities for applications. Using digital images from cameras and videos and deep learning models, machines can accurately identify and classify objects and then react to what they see. Computer vision has many applications such as facial recognition, autonomous vehicles, medical imaging, robotics, surveillance, and more.
Open source orchestrators like Prefect are one of the primary means by which companies train computer vision models in production. Prefect offers a mechanism to schedule and monitor these jobs as part of more complex workflow graphs. Kaspian has a native operator for Prefect; this operator makes it easy to either swap to or get started with training pipelines that utilize Kaspian's flexible compute layer, with native support for autoscaling, GPU acceleration, and more.
