This template is mainly inspired by the Cookiecutter Data Science project structure that aims to be a logical, reasonably standardized, but flexible project structure for doing and sharing data science work.
We also recommends to track, manage and share models with MLFlow and Neptune (https://github.com/neptune-ai/neptune-mlflow).
data
: Datasets.docs
: Sphinx documentation.models
: Trained and serialized models, model predictions, or model summaries.notebooks
: Jupyter notebooks. Naming convention is the date (for ordering), the creator's initials, and a short-
delimited description, e.g.1.0-jqp-initial-data-exploration
.references
: Data dictionaries, manuals, and all other explanatory materials.reports
: Generated analysis as HTML, PDF, LaTeX, etc.src
: Stores source code (python, R etc) which serves multiple scenarios. During data exploration and model training, we have to transform data for particular purpose. We have to use same code to transfer data during online prediction as well. So it better separates code from notebook such that it serves different purpose.
