Get Started with Iterative Studio

Sign in to your Iterative Studio dashboard using your GitHub.com, GitLab.com, or Bitbucket.org account, or with your email address. Upon sign-in, the Projects dashboard opens. It includes some Demo projects for you to explore.

Run and track experiments

1. Iterative Studio works with Git repositories. So first, prepare your Git repositories and make sure that the connection to your Git server has been set up.

2. Click on Add a Project and follow the on-screen instructions to search and connect to the desired Git repository. You can Skip and Continue the Project settings.

   Once the project is created, remember to configure project settings if needed.

3. Iterative Studio parses your project's dvc.yaml file to identify data, metrics, plots and hyperparameters.

   If you are not using DVC, you can separately indicate which files contain metrics and hyperparameters. However, we strongly recommend using DVC to avail of all the features of Iterative Studio.

4. Each project on the Projects dashboard displays some of the metrics from your Git repository (such as avg_prec and roc_auc in the following project).

   

5. Click on the project name to open the project table and explore all your ML experiments.

   

6. You can submit new experiments by changing hyperparameters and datasets. This triggers model training if your repository has appropriate CI/CD actions set up.

7. To track live metrics and plots of running experiments, set the STUDIO_ACCESS_TOKEN environment variable and use DVCLive in your training pipeline.

Manage models

1. Click on the Models tab to open the central Models dashboard. Iterative Studio uses your project's artifacts.yaml file to identify ML models and specially formatted Git tags to identify model versions and stage assignments.

2. Click on the model name to open its details page.

3. You can perform the following actions to manage the life cycle of models:

   • Register new models from your Git repositories and remote (cloud) storages.
   • Register model versions
   • Assign stages (e.g., development, staging, production)
   • Unassign stages, deregister versions or deprecate (remove) models

Collaborate

1. You can create a team and invite collaborators. Each team will have its own projects dashboard. To create teams with more than 2 team members, sign up for the Basic or Enterprise plan.

2. You can also make your projects public.
