DataVolt: Streamline Your Data Engineering Pipelines

Overview

DataVolt is a modular toolkit designed to automate and streamline data engineering pipelines. It provides reusable, extensible components for data loading, preprocessing, feature engineering, and model training. With DataFlux, you can save time and effort by leveraging prebuilt tools to handle repetitive and complex data engineering tasks.

Built for technical users, DataStream is ideal for:

• Data Scientists looking to simplify their preprocessing workflows.
• Machine Learning Engineers need robust pipelines for consistent data transformations.
• Data Engineers aiming to optimize data ingestion and transformation pipelines.

Initial commit: Add DataStream project with modular toolkit for data engineering pipelines## Quick Start Guide

Step 1: Load Your Data

Choose a loader module based on your data source:

from datavolt.loaders.csv_loader import CSVLoader

loader = CSVLoader(file_path="data.csv")
data = loader.load()

Step 2: Preprocess Your Data

Use the preprocessing modules to clean and transform your data:

from datavolt.preprocess.pipeline import PreprocessingPipeline
from datavolt.preprocess.scaling import StandardScaler
from datavolt.preprocess.encoding import OneHotEncoder

pipeline = PreprocessingPipeline([
    StandardScaler(),
    OneHotEncoder()
])
preprocessed_data = pipeline.run(data)

Step 3: Train a Model

Pass the preprocessed data into the model training module:

from datavolt.model.trainer import ModelTrainer

trainer = ModelTrainer(model="random_forest", parameters={"n_estimators": 100})
trained_model = trainer.train(preprocessed_data, labels)

Step 4: Evaluate and Export

Evaluate the model and save it for deployment:

from datavolt.model.evaluator import Evaluator
from datavolt.model.model_export import ModelExporter

evaluator = Evaluator()
metrics = evaluator.evaluate(trained_model, test_data, test_labels)
print(metrics)

exporter = ModelExporter()
exporter.save(trained_model, "models/random_forest.pkl")
