Data Versioning and Its Impact on Machine Learning Models

Abstract

Data versioning in machine learning is of paramount importance as it ensures the reproducibility, transparency, and reliability of ML models. In the dynamic landscape of ML research, where models heavily rely on diverse datasets, data versioning plays a crucial role in maintaining consistency throughout the ML pipeline. By tracking changes in datasets over time and aligning machine learning models with specific versions of data, researchers can reproduce experiments, verify results, and address challenges related to data quality, collaboration, and model training. Effective data versioning practices contribute to the robustness of ML workflows, fostering trust in model outcomes and supporting advancements in the field.
