Mage - An open-source data management platform that helps you clean data and prepare it for training AI/ML models

Intro

Mage is an open-source data management platform that helps you clean data and prepare it for training AI/ML models.

What does this do?

The current version of Mage includes a data cleaning UI tool that can run locally on your laptop or can be hosted in your own cloud environment.

Why should I use it?

Using a data cleaning tool enables you to quickly visualize data quality issues, easily fix them, and create repeatable data cleaning pipelines that can be used in production environments (e.g. online re-training, inference, etc).

Quick start

Install library

$ pip install mage-ai

Launch tool

Load your data, connect it to Mage, and launch the tool locally.

From anywhere you can execute Python code (e.g. terminal, Jupyter notebook, etc.), run the following:

import mage_ai
import pandas as pd


df = pd.read_csv('/path_to_data')
mage_ai.connect_data(df, name='name_of_dataset')
mage_ai.launch()

Open http://localhost:5000 in your browser to access the tool locally.

To stop the tool, run this command: mage_ai.kill()

Cleaning data

After building a data cleaning pipeline from the UI, you can clean your data anywhere you can execute Python code:

import mage_ai
import pandas as pd


df = pd.read_csv('/path_to_data')

# Option 1: Clean with pipeline uuid
df_cleaned = mage_ai.clean(df, pipeline_uuid='uuid_of_cleaning_pipeline')

# Option 2: Clean with pipeline config directory path
df_cleaned = mage_ai.clean(df, pipeline_config_path='/path_to_pipeline_config_dir')

4. Data cleaning suggestions

Data visualizations

Inspect your data using different charts (e.g. time series, bar chart, box plot, etc.).

Here’s a list of available charts.

Reports

Quickly diagnose data quality issues with summary reports.

Here’s a list of available reports.

Cleaning actions

Easily add common cleaning functions to your pipeline with a few clicks. Cleaning actions include imputing missing values, reformatting strings, removing duplicates, and many more.

If a cleaning action you need doesn’t exist in the library, you can write and save custom cleaning functions in the UI.

Here’s a list of available cleaning actions.

Data cleaning suggestions

The tool will automatically suggest different ways to clean your data and improve quality metrics.

Here’s a list of available suggestions.

Roadmap

Big features being worked on or in the design phase.

1. Encoding actions (e.g. one-hot encoding, label hasher, ordinal encoding, embeddings, etc.)
2. Data quality monitoring and alerting
3. Apply cleaning actions to columns and values that match a condition

Here’s a detailed list of 🪲 features and bugs that are in progress or upcoming.
