KMDS Modeling

kmds-modeling is a lightweight supporting package for KMDS modeling workflows. It provides the runtime plumbing, evaluation orchestration, artifact export utilities, and modeling contract documentation needed to bridge KMDS feature outputs and production-ready model assets.

Overview

• Supports KMDS workspace modeling without embedding domain-specific business logic.
• Provides a generic ExperimentRunner engine for cross-validation, transformer orchestration, and candidate model evaluation.
• Includes a CLI for standard evaluation and production export flows.
• Keeps workspace-specific examples and artifacts outside the installable package.

Key Features

• Config-driven modeling pipeline via YAML configuration files (e.g. model_config.yaml)
• Safe cross-validation with fold-specific transformer fitting
• Uniform candidate wrapper support for any model implementation
• Export of serialized model weights, feature pipeline, and metadata
• Path coordination for KMDS workspace layout handling
• Task contract documentation under documents/modeling_contracts/

Installation

pip install kmds-modeling

Package discovery

Clients can discover runtime metadata using the package API or import installed package metadata.

from kmds_modeling import get_package_info

info = get_package_info()
print(info)

The discovery payload includes standard fields used across KMDS packages:

• package_name
• version
• entry_points
• cli_commands
• provided_packages
• documentation_note

When installed, the package can also be resolved via importlib.metadata:

from importlib.metadata import version

print(version("kmds-modeling"))

CLI

The package exposes a command-line interface for model evaluation and export.

kmds-modeling evaluate --config /path/to/modeling_config.yaml
kmds-modeling export --config /path/to/modeling_config.yaml

Configuration

The package expects a YAML configuration file that defines:

• project settings such as name, version, task type, and target variable
• data settings including working directory, index column, and featurization paths
• experiment_settings for cross-validation and metrics
• candidates listing candidate models and their hyperparameters
• production_target for champion export paths

The PathCoordinator resolves workspace-relative paths, including documents/modeling_contracts/, and ensures the package operates on KMDS-generated modeling artifacts.

Recommended Workflow

1. Generate feature-engineered data with KMDS upstream tools such as kmds-featurization.
2. Author a modeling_config.yaml with the correct workspace layout and candidate definitions.
3. Run kmds-modeling evaluate to compare candidate models and generate a leaderboard.
4. Select the champion candidate and run kmds-modeling export to produce model artifacts.

Project Structure

• src/kmds_modeling/ — installable package source
• src/kmds_modeling/cli.py — CLI entrypoint
• src/kmds_modeling/core/runner.py — evaluation and export orchestration
• src/kmds_modeling/core/path_coordinator.py — workspace path resolution
• src/kmds_modeling/core/notebook_utils.py — notebook-friendly utilities
• documents/modeling_contracts/ — task contract documentation for KMDS modeling

Contribution Notes

• Keep core modeling logic generic and focused on KMDS pipeline support.
• Add workspace-specific examples or experimental workflows outside the installable source tree.
• Avoid coupling the package to any single KMDS project domain.
