Workflow Overview

This document provides a comprehensive library of AI/ML development workflows for the CODITECT platform. These workflows cover the complete machine learning lifecycle including data preparation, model training, evaluation, deployment, monitoring, and MLOps automation. Each workflow includes detailed phase breakdowns, inputs/outputs, and success criteria to ensure reliable ML operations.

Phase 1: Data Preparation & Feature Engineering

Initial phase prepares data for model training:

1. Data Collection - Aggregate data from sources
2. Data Cleaning - Handle missing values, outliers, duplicates
3. Feature Engineering - Create and select features
4. Data Splitting - Train/validation/test splits
5. Data Versioning - Version datasets for reproducibility

---

Phase 2: Model Training & Evaluation

Core phase trains and evaluates ML models:

1. Experiment Setup - Initialize experiment tracking
2. Model Training - Train with hyperparameter optimization
3. Model Evaluation - Evaluate on validation/test sets
4. Model Comparison - Compare with baseline and previous versions
5. Model Selection - Select best performing model

---

Phase 3: Deployment & Monitoring

Final phase deploys models and sets up monitoring:

1. Model Registration - Register model in model registry
2. Deployment - Deploy to inference endpoint
3. A/B Testing - Configure canary/shadow deployments
4. Monitoring Setup - Configure drift and performance monitoring
5. Alerting - Set up performance degradation alerts
