Anovos

Anovos is an open source library for feature engineering at scale. Built by data scientists & ML Engineers for the data science community, it provides all the capabilities required for data ingestion, data analysis, data drift & data stability analysis, feature recommendation and feature composition. In addition, it automatically produces easily interpretable professional data reports that help users understand the nature of data at first sight and further enable data scientists to identify and engineer features.

Leveraging the power of Apache Spark behind the scenes, Anovos improves data scientists' productivity and helps them build more resilient and better performing models.

Quick Start

The easiest way to try out Anovos and explore its capabilities is through the provided examples that you can run via Docker without the need to install anything on your local machine.

# Launch an anovos-examples Docker container
sudo docker run -p 8888:8888 anovos/anovos-examples-3.2.2:latest

To reach the Jupyter environment, open the link to http://127.0.0.1:8888/?token... generated by the Jupyter NotebookApp.

If you're not familiar with Anovos or feature engineering, the Getting Started with Anovos guide is a good place to begin your journey. You can find it in the /guides folder within the Jupyter environment.

For more detailed instructions on how to install Docker and how to troubleshoot potential issues, see the examples README.

Using Anovos
