Introduction
Aethos is a library/platform that automates your data science and analytical tasks at any stage in the pipeline. Aethos is, at its core, a uniform API that helps automate analytical techniques from various libaries such as pandas, sci-kit learn, gensim, etc.
Aethos provides:
- Automated data science cleaning, preprocessing, feature engineering and modelling techniques through one line of code
- Automated reporting - as you perform your analysis, a report is created along side with it
- Automated visualizations through one line of code
- Reusable code - no more copying code from notebook to notebook
- Automated dependency and corpus management
- Datascience project templates
- Integrated 3rd party jupyter plugins to make analyzing data more friendly
- Model analysis use cases - Confusion Matrix, ROC Curve, all metrics, decision tree plots, etc.
- Model interpretability - Local through SHAP and LIME, global through Morris Sensitivity
- Interactive checklists and tips to either remind or help you through your analysis.
- Comparing train and test data distribution
- Exporting trained models as a service (Generates the necessary code, files and folder structure)
- Experiment tracking with MLFlow
You can view a full list of implemented techniques in the documentation or here: TECHNIQUES.md
Plus more coming soon such as:
- Testing for model drift
- Recommendation models
- Statistical tests - Anova, T-test, etc.
- Pre-trained models - BERT, GPT2, etc.
- Parralelization through Dask and/or Spark
- Uniform API for deep learning models
- Automated code and file generation for jupyter notebook development and a python file of your data pipeline.
Aethos makes it easy to PoC, experiment and compare different techniques and models from various libraries. From imputations, visualizations, scaling, dimensionality reduction, feature engineering to modelling, model results and model deployment - all done with a single, human readable, line of code!
Aethos utilizes other open source libraries to help enhance your analysis from enhanced stastical information, interactive visual plots or statistical tests and models - all your tools in one place, all accessible with one line of code or a click! See below in the Acknowledgments for the open source libraries being used in this project.
Usage

Examples can be viewed here
To start, we need to import Aethos dependencies as well as pandas.
Before that, we can create a full data science folder structure by running aethos create
from the command line and follow the command prompts.
Options
To enable extensions, such as QGrid interactive filtering, enable them as you would in pandas:
import aethos as at
at.options.interactive_df = True
Currently the following options are:
interactive_df
: Interactive grid with QGridinteractive_table
: Interactive grid with Itable - comes with built in client side searchingproject_metrics
: Setting project metrics- Project metrics is a metric or set of metrics to evaluate models.
word_report
: Writes report to a word document as well as the .txt filetrack_experiments
: Uses MLFlow to track models and experiments.
User options such as changing the directory where images, reports, and projects are saved can be edited in the config file. This is located at USER_HOME
/.aethos/ .
This location is also the default location of where any images, reports and projects are stored.
Analysis
import aethos as at
import pandas as pd
x_train = pd.read_csv('data/train.csv') # load data into pandas
# Initialize Data object with training data
# By default, if no test data (x_test) is provided, then the data is split with 20% going to the test set
# Specify predictor field as 'Survived'
# Specify report name
df = at.Data(x_train, target_field='Survived', report_name='Titanic')
df.x_train # View your training data
df.x_test # View your testing data
df # Glance at your training data
df[df.Age > 25] # Filter the data
df['new_col'] = [1, 2] # Add a new column to the data, based off the length of the data provided, it will add it to the train or test set.
df.x_train['new_col'] = [1,2] # This is the exact same as the either of code above
df.x_test['new_col'] = [1,2]
df.data_report(title='Titanic Summary', output_file='titanic_summary.html') # Automate EDA with pandas profiling with an autogenerated report
df.describe() # Display a high level view of your data using an extended version of pandas describe
df.describe_column('Fare') # Get indepth statistics about the 'Fare' column
df.mean() # Run pandas functions on the aethos objects
df.missing_data # View your missing data at anytime
df.correlation_matrix() # Generate a correlation matrix for your training data
df.pairplot() # Generate pairplots for your training data features at any time
df.checklist() # Will provide an iteractive checklist to keep track of your cleaning tasks
NOTE: One of the benefits of using aethos
is that any method you apply on your train set, gets applied to your test dataset. For any method that requires fitting (replacing missing data with mean), the method is fit on the training data and then applied to the testing data to avoid data leakage.
# Replace missing values in the 'Fare' and 'Embarked' column with the most common values in each of the respective columns.
df.replace_missing_mostcommon('Fare', 'Embarked')
# To create a "checkpoint" of your data (i.e. if you just want to test this analytical method), assign it to a variable
df.replace_missing_mostcommon('Fare', 'Embarked')
# Replace missing values in the 'Age' column with a random value that follows the probability distribution of the 'Age' column in the training set.
df.replace_missing_random_discrete('Age')
df.drop('Cabin') # Drop the cabin column
As you've started to notice, alot of tasks to df the data and to explore the data have been reduced down to one command, and are also customizable by providing the respective keyword arguments (see documentation).
# Create a barplot of the mean surivial rate grouped by age.
df.barplot(x='Age', y=['Survived'], method='mean', xlabel='Age')
# One hot encode the `Person` and `Embarked` columns and then drop the original columns
df.onehot_encode('Person', 'Embarked', drop_col=True)
Modelling
model = at.Model(df)
Running a Single Model
Models can be trained one at a time or multiple at a time. They can also be trained by passing in the params for the sklearn, xgboost, etc constructor, by passing in a gridsearch dictionary & params, cross validating with gridsearch & params.
After a model has been ran, it comes with use cases such as plotting RoC curves, calculating performance metrics, confusion matrices, SHAP plots, decision tree plots and other local and global model interpretability use cases.
lr_model = model.LogisticRegression(random_state=42) # Train a logistic regression model
# Train a logistic regression model with gridsearch
lr_model = model.LogisticRegression(gridsearch={'penalty': ['l1', 'l2']}, random_state=42)
# Crossvalidatea a logistic regression model, displays the scores and the learning curve and builds the model
lr_model = model.LogisticRegression(cv=5, n_splits=10)
# Build a Logistic Regression model with Gridsearch and then cross validates the best model using stratified K-Fold cross validation.
lr_model = model.LogisticRegression(gridsearch={'penalty': ['l1', 'l2']}, cv='strat-kfold', n_splits=10)
lr_model.metrics() # Views all metrics for the model
lr_model.confusion_matrix()
lr_model.roc_curve()
Running multiple models in parallel
# Add a Logistic Regression, Random Forest Classification and a XGBoost Classification model to the queue.
model.LogisticRegression(random_state=42, model_name='log_reg', run=False)
model.RandomForestClassification(run=False)
model.XGBoostClassification(run=False)
model.run_models() # This will run all queued models in parallel
model.run_models(method='series') # Run each model one after the other
model.compare_models() # This will display each model evaluated against every metric
# Every model is accessed by a unique name that is assiged when you run the model.
# Default model names can be seen in the function header of each model.
model.log_reg.confusion_matrix() # Displays a confusion matrix for the logistic regression model
model.rf_cls.confusion_matrix() # Displays a confusion matrix for the random forest model
Model Interpretability
As mentioned in the Model section, whenever a model is trained you have access to use cases for model interpretability as well. There are prebuild SHAP usecases and an interactive dashboard that is equipped with LIME and SHAP for local model interpretability and Morris Sensitivity for global model interpretability.
lr_model = model.LogisticRegression(random_state=42)
lr_model.summary_plot() # SHAP summary plot
lr_model.force_plot() # SHAP force plot
lr_model.decision_plot() # SHAP decision plot
lr_model.dependence_plot() # SHAP depencence plot
# Creates an interactive dashboard to interpret predictions of the model
lr_model.interpret_model()
Code Generation
Currently you are only able to export your model to be ran a service, and will be able to automatically generate the required files. The automatic creation of a data pipeline is still in progress.
lr_model.to_service('titanic')
Now navigate to 'your_home_folder'('~' on linux and Users/'your_user_name' on windows)/.aethos/projects/titanic/ and you will see the files needed to run the model as a service using FastAPI and uvicorn.
Installation
Python Requirements: 3.6, 3.7
pip install aethos
To install associating corpora for nltk analysis:
aethos install-corpora
To install and use the extensions such as qgrid
for interactive filtering and analysis with DataFrames:
aethos enable-extensions
Currently working on condas implementation.
To create a Data Science project run:
aethos create
This will create a full folder strucuture for you to manage data, unit tests, experiments and source code.
If experiment tracking is enabled or if you want to start the MLFlow UI:
aethos mlflow-ui
This will start the MLFlow UI in the directory where your Aethos experiemnts are run.
NOTE: This only works for local use of MLFLOW, if you are running MLFlow on a remote server, just start it on the remote server and enter the address in the %HOME%/.aethos/config.yml
file.
