Version History

0.8.0

• New Features

  • New publish_events_batch_schema API call, Publishes a batch events object to Fiddler Service using the passed publish_schema as a template.
  • New Ranking Monitoring capability available with publish_events_batch API

• Modifications

  • Enforced package versions in setup.py
  • trigger_pre_computation has an additional optional argument (cache_dataset) to enable/disable dataset histograms caching.
  • register_model has 3 additional optional arguments to enable/disable pdp caching (set to False by default), feature importance caching (set to True by default) and dataset histograms caching (set to True by default).

0.7.6

• New Features

  • New segment monitoring related functionality (currently in preview):
    • Ability to create and validate SegmentInfo objects,
    • upload_segment BE call,
    • activate_segment BE call,
    • deactivate_segment BE call, and
    • list_segments BE call,

• Modifications

  • Upon connecting to the server, the client now performs a version check for the server by default. Earlier the default was to only do a version check for the client.

0.7.5

• New Features

  • New update_event parameter for publish_events_batch API.
  • Changes to fdl.publish_event():
    • Renamed parameter event_time_stamp to event_timestamp
    • Added new parameter: timestamp_format
      • Allows specification of timestamp format using the FiddlerTimestamp class

0.7.4

• New Features

  • New initialize_monitoring API call, sets up monitoring for a model. Intended to also work retroactively for legacy schema.

• Modifications

  • Modified DatasetInfo.from_dataframe and ModelInfo.from_dataset_info to take additional dataset_id as parameter.
  • Modified the outputs parameter of ModelInfo.from_dataset_info to now expect a dictionary in case of regression tasks, specifying output range.
  • Modified the preferred_explanation_method parameter of ModelInfo.from_dataset_info to accept string names from custom_explanation_names. Details in docstring.
  • Misc bug fixes and documentation enhancements.

0.7.3

• New Features

  • Changed the default display for ModelInfo and DatasetInfo to render HTML instead of plaintext, when accessed via jupyter notebooks
  • Added support for GCP Storage ingestion of log events using fdl.BatchPublishType.GCP_STORAGE

0.7.2

• New Features

  • Restructured the following arguments for fdl.ModelInfo.from_dataset_info()
    • Added: categorical_target_class_details:
      • Mandatory for Multiclass classification tasks, optional for Binary (unused for Regression)
      • Used to specify the positive class for Binary classification, and the class order for Multiclass classification
    • Modified: target:
      • No longer optional, models must specify target columns

0.7.1

• New Features

  • Restructured the following arguments for fdl.publish_events_batch()
    • Added: id_field:
      • Column to extract id value from
    • Added: timestamp_format:
      • Format of timestamp within batch object. Can be one of:
        • fdl.FiddlerTimestamp.INFER
        • fdl.FiddlerTimestamp.EPOCH_MILLISECONDS
        • fdl.FiddlerTimestamp.EPOCH_SECONDS
        • fdl.FiddlerTimestamp.ISO_8601 Removed: default_timestamp
  • Minor bug fixes

• Deprecation Warning

  • Support fdl.publish_events_log and fdl.publish_parquet_s3 will soon be deprecated in favor of fdl.publish_events_batch()

0.7.0

• Dataset Refactor

  • Datasets refactored to be members of a Project
    • This is a change promoting Datasets to be first class within Fiddler. It will affects both the UI and several API in Fiddler
  • Many API utilizing Projects will now require project_id passed as a parameter

• New Features

  • Added fdl.update_model() to client
    • update the specified model, with model binary and package.py from the specified model_dir
  • Added fdl.get_model() to client
    • download the model binary, package.py and model.yaml to the given output dir.
  • Added fdl.publish_events_batch() to client
    • Publishes a batch events object to Fiddler Service.
    • Note: Support for other batch methods including fdl.publish_events_log() and fdl.publish_parquet_s3() will be deprecated in the near future in favor of fdl.publish_events_batch()

• Changes

  • Simplified logic within fld.upload-dataset()
  • Added client/server handshake for checking version compatibilities
    • Warning issued in case of mismatch
  • Deleted redundant APIs
    • fdl.create_surrogate_model()
    • fdl.upload_model_sklearn()
  • Restructured APIs to be more duck typing-friendly (relaxing data type restrictions)
  • Patches for minor bug-fixes

0.6.18
