Data Scientist: Why is my cutting edge model still not in production?

Scenario 1:

IT Team: We are still implementing the scoring engine in Go/Java/C++.

Scenario 2:

IT Team: We are still figuring out how to read the model.pkl file you provided in Java.

and the push to production pang continues ..

Titus for Python 3.4+ - Portable Format for Analytics (PFA) implementation

This is a subset-fork of the original repository which has been completely migrated to Python 3.

The Portable Format for Analytics (PFA) is a specification for scoring/inference engines: event-based processors that perform predictive or analytic calculations. It is a model interchange format which helps smoothen the transition from statistical model development to large-scale and/or online production.

Titus (Python 2) (API) was originally Open Data's complete implementation of PFA for Python. It can be used for model development as well as to execute the scoring engine.

Requirements

Titus uses a number of open source projects to work properly:

• avro-python3
• numpy
• pytz
• pyyaml
• ply

The above packages are available via pip and are automatically installed during setup.

Installation

Titus requires Python 3.4+ to run. It can be installed via pip/pip3 as follows:

$ pip install titus2

or you can directly install the latest build from github repository via

$ pip install git+https://github.com/animator/python3-titus.git

After installation please run the following elementary example in python

from titus.genpy import PFAEngine

pfa = {"input": "double",
 "output": "double",
 "action": [
   {"+": ["input", 100]}
 ]}
engine, = PFAEngine.fromJson(pfa)

l = [1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0, 5.0]

for num in l:
    print(num, engine.action(num))
