Two methods are available to add a model to NannyML Cloud. The optimal way is to do it programmatically, which can be found on the page. Alternatively, you can manually add the model using the NannyML Cloud UI, which we'll explain here.
If you prefer a video walkthrough and you upload your data from Azure, here's our YouTube guide:
The button will open the Add new model wizard displaying the required steps to add your new model.
You need to provide four pieces of information about your model:
The machine learning problem type The type of problem the machine learning model is dealing with. The different options are binary classification, multiclass classification, and regression. This has lots of implications. It impacts what type of model output and target data NannyML is expecting and which metrics NannyML can calculate. This cannot be changed later.
The model name A simple name for your model. This name can be changed after the model creation on the model settings.
The reference dataset is the dataset NannyML will use as a baseline for monitoring your model. This dataset ideally represents a time when the model worked as expected. The ideal candidate for this is the test set. You need to point NannyML to where this dataset is located and provide some basic information about the dataset schema.

Pick one of the following upload options:
Provide a public URL
If the dataset is accessible via a public URL, you can provide that link here:

Provide reference dataset information
NannyML requires schema information about the reference dataset. While it automatically gets column details, it's always wise to double-check. The most critical columns to define are listed on the left. The columns you need to specify depend on the type of machine-learning problem you chose at the beginning of this workflow. All other columns are automatically treated as features. Additionally, NannyML automatically detects the data types of these feature columns.
The following columns have to be specified:
Timestamp This provides NannyML with the date and time that the prediction was made.
Prediction The model output that the model predicted for its target outcome.
Target The ground truth or actual outcome of what the model is predicting.
Identifier A unique identifier for each row in the dataset. NannyML will use this column to join analysis and target data sources.
The mapping of the columns can be changed when scrolling horizontally. It is possible to ignore specific columns or flag columns that should be used for joining predictions and targets later. Select one or more columns in the Segment by select box to flag them as sources for segments. This causes metrics to also be computed on subsets of your data, one for each distinct value in the column marked as a segmentation source.
Alternatively, you can configure segmentation by adding a Segment by flag in the Column flags section in the for the columns you wish to segment.
The monitoring model is what NannyML uses to analyze the performance of the monitored model. Typically, it will consist of the latest production data up to a desired point in the past, which should be after the reference dataset ends.

This step is only necessary when targets are not part of the analysis dataset and when they are available.

Choose the metrics by which your model's performance will be evaluated. First select the calculators for your model by enabling the desired ones.
Then, by clicking on Configure button, it is possible to select the metrics and thresholds for analysing your model.
You can choose one metric to be the primary metric for your model (KPM). The primary metric will have enabled the realized performance and the estimated performance.
Review your model settings and start monitoring! 🚀
How the data has to be chunked Chunking determines how metrics will be aggregated, i.e. the granularity of the monitoring analysis. The options are either time-based or size-based. For time-based chunking the options are daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly, and yearly chunking. For size-based chunking you can select a chunk size; i.e. a number of records to have in a single chunk. The last chunk may not be completely "filled" if there are not enough records. It will be recomputed automatically as more records are added and the chunk "fills up". The chunking unit can always be changed later in the .
We currently only support time-based and size-based chunking; if you need support for number-based chunking, .
