Weights & Biases: ML Experiment Tracking & MLOps

When to Use This Skill

Use Weights & Biases (W&B) when you need to:
  • Track ML experiments with automatic metric logging
  • Visualize training in real-time dashboards
  • Compare runs across hyperparameters and configurations
  • Optimize hyperparameters with automated sweeps
  • Manage model registry with versioning and lineage
  • Collaborate on ML projects with team workspaces
  • Track artifacts (datasets, models, code) with lineage

Installation

Quick Start

Basic Experiment Tracking

With PyTorch

Core Concepts

1. Projects and Runs

Project: Collection of related experiments Run: Single execution of your training script

2. Configuration Tracking

Track hyperparameters automatically:

3. Metric Logging

4. Model Checkpointing

Hyperparameter Sweeps

Automatically search for optimal hyperparameters.

Define Sweep Configuration

Define Training Function

Sweep Strategies

Artifacts

Track datasets, models, and other files with lineage.

Log Artifacts

Use Artifacts

Model Registry

Integration Examples

HuggingFace Transformers

PyTorch Lightning

Keras/TensorFlow

Visualization & Analysis

Custom Charts

Reports

Create shareable reports in W&B UI:
  • Combine runs, charts, and text
  • Markdown support
  • Embeddable visualizations
  • Team collaboration

Best Practices

1. Organize with Tags and Groups

2. Log Everything Relevant

3. Use Descriptive Names

4. Save Important Artifacts

5. Use Offline Mode for Unstable Connections

Team Collaboration

Share Runs
