Introducing InsightfulAI: Public Alpha API for Simplified Machine Learning

We’re thrilled to launch InsightfulAI, a Public Alpha API designed to make classification and regression tasks easier for Python developers and data scientists. This alpha release is available on PyPI, allowing you to quickly install and test it with pip!

InsightfulAI provides a streamlined, intuitive setup that lets you focus on solving problems rather than dealing with complex machine learning code. This is your chance to be an early adopter, giving valuable feedback to shape InsightfulAI's future.


Key Features of the InsightfulAI Alpha API

  • Classification and Regression: Includes ready-to-use logistic regression and random forest models.
  • Retry Logic: Automatically retries failed operations to handle transient errors.
  • Customizable Parameters: Configure hyperparameters like C and solver in logistic regression, or n_estimators and max_depth for random forests.
  • Solver Options: Logistic regression supports popular solvers such as 'lbfgs', 'liblinear', and 'saga', allowing flexibility based on your dataset's size and characteristics.
  • Batch Asynchronous Processing: Perform model training, predictions, and evaluations on batches asynchronously, which is especially useful for handling large datasets or real-time applications.
  • OpenTelemetry Support: Track your model’s training and prediction performance with built-in OpenTelemetry tracing, simplifying monitoring and debugging.

This Public Alpha API provides essential tools to kickstart your machine learning projects and integrate basic monitoring.


How to Install the InsightfulAI Public Alpha API

The alpha release of InsightfulAI is available on PyPI! Install it with the following command:

pip install InsightfulAI
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

This will install the alpha version of InsightfulAI, allowing you to experiment with its features and provide feedback to help us improve it.


Getting Started with InsightfulAI

Here’s a quick tutorial on using InsightfulAI’s logistic regression model in your projects.

Step 1: Import and Initialize

Import InsightfulAI from the API. Choose your model type (logistic regression or random forest), and initialize with your preferred settings:

from insightful_ai_api import InsightfulAI

# Initialize the API for logistic regression with solver choice
model = InsightfulAI(model_type="logistic_regression", C=1.0, solver='lbfgs')  # Options: 'lbfgs', 'liblinear', 'saga'
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Step 2: Prepare Your Data

Load your dataset into numpy arrays or pandas data frames, then split it into training and test sets:

import numpy as np
from sklearn.model_selection import train_test_split

X = np.array([[...], ...])  # Features
y = np.array([...])          # Target

# Split into train and test sets
X_train, X_test, y_train, y_test = train_test_split(X, y, test_size=0.2, random_state=42)
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Step 3: Train the Model

Train your model using the fit method:

model.fit(X_train, y_train)
print("Model training complete!")
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Step 4: Batch Asynchronous Predictions

Take advantage of batch asynchronous processing to make predictions on large batches efficiently:

import asyncio

# Async batch prediction
async def async_predict_batches():
    predictions = await model.async_predict_batch([X_test_batch_1, X_test_batch_2])
    print("Batch Predictions:", predictions)

# Run async batch prediction
asyncio.run(async_predict_batches())
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Step 5: Evaluate Model Performance

Evaluate your model accuracy using the evaluate function:

accuracy = model.evaluate(X_test, y_test)
print(f"Model Accuracy: {accuracy:.2f}")
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Monitoring with OpenTelemetry

InsightfulAI includes OpenTelemetry for monitoring and tracking, allowing you to gain insights into your model’s performance and easily debug issues.
