New Functionality

  • The Create model UI has been updated to look a bit cleaner.

Bug Fixes

  • The dropdown on the components in the workspace now works.

Version 0.12.1 (May 7, 2021)

Note: this version has been removed due a critical error.

Version 0.12.0 (May 5, 2021)

New Functionality

  • The old Create Model popup together with the template has been removed. This means that models created pre-0.12 will no longer be usable after upgrading to 0.12.0.

  • A new featured called Data Wizard has been introduced. The Data Wizard provides a more structured way to load your data, making the models data centric. It works by:

    • allowing you to load a CSV file.

    • allowing you to define the CSV file (specifying which columns are the input and target, and their types).

    • providing you with a recommended model that can be run immediately.

  • There are currently four supported column types in the Data Wizard: Numerical, Categorical, Binary, and Image, allowing you to mix them to build models such as: Image Classification, Regression, Segmentation, simple Image Generation, Autoencoder, etc. Read more about the Data Wizard here. Note that this link will become available once we document this functionality.

  • Object Detection has been temporarily removed.

  • GAN has been temporarily removed.

  • Pre-trained models have been added as components under the Deep Learning, including VGG16, ResNet50, InceptionV3, and MobileNetV2.

  • Data components have been removed and replaced by Input and Target components.

  • Training components have been removed. The training engine is now running behind the scenes and has been generalized to work for all above mentioned cases.

  • The Statistics View has received a slight update, where it now shows statistics based on the Inputs and Targets rather than the Training components.

  • The Test View has been reworked. You can now run one (or many) tests on one (or many) of your models. The current tests available are: Confusion Matrix and Metrics Table.

Bug Fixes

  • Changing the model path will no longer cause saving checkpoints to crash in Windows.

  • Zooming by inputting a number will no longer cause the components placement to change.

  • The correct TensorFlow version (2.4.1) is now shown in the bottom right.
