System for Managing Effective Self-Service Analytic Workflows
A system, method, and computer-readable medium for performing an analytics workflow generation operation. The analytics workflow generation operation enables generation of targeted analytics workflows (e.g., via a data scientist (i.e., an expert in data modeling)) that are then published to a workflow storage repository so that the targeted analytics workflows can be used by domain experts and self-service business end-users to solve specific classes of analytics operations.
1 . A computer-implementable method for performing an analytics workflow generation operation, comprising:
providing an analytics workflow generation system, the analytics workflow generation system comprising an analytics workflow user interface;
generating a targeted parameterized analytics template via the analytics workflow user interface, the targeted parameterized analytics template being customized for a particular customer based upon analytics needs of the customer;
publishing the targeted analytics workflow to a workflow storage repository.
2 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
retrieving the targeted parameterized analytics template from the workflow storage repository, the retrieving being performed by an end-user associated with the customer to solve a specific analytics need of the customer.
3 . The method of claim 1 , wherein:
the parameterized analytic template comprises at least one of a data preparation analytic template, a data modeling analytic template, a model evaluation analytic template, and a model deployment analytic template.
4 . The method of claim 1 , wherein:
the parameterized analytic template comprises steps specifically optimized for a particular domain and data sets of interest.
5 . The method of claim 1 , wherein:
an end-user user interface enables an end-user select data management and analytical tools from a comprehensive palette, to parameterize analytic workflows, to provide the self-service business users flexibility to address the particular needs of the customer without having to understand data preparation and modeling tasks.
6 . The method of claim 5 , wherein:
the end-user interface accommodates role-based authentication so particular groups of end-users have access to relevant templates to solve analytic problems of a domain of the particular group of end-users.
7 . A system comprising:
a processor;
a data bus coupled to the processor; and
a non-transitory, computer-readable storage medium embodying computer program code, the non-transitory, computer-readable storage medium being coupled to the data bus, the computer program code interacting with a plurality of computer operations and comprising instructions executable by the processor and configured for:
providing an analytics workflow generation system, the analytics workflow generation system comprising an analytics workflow user interface;
generating a targeted parameterized analytics template via the analytics workflow user interface, the targeted parameterized analytics template being customized for a particular customer based upon analytics needs of the customer;
publishing the targeted analytics workflow to a workflow storage repository.
8 . The system of claim 7 , wherein the instructions are further configured for:
retrieving the targeted parameterized analytics template from the workflow storage repository, the retrieving being performed by an end-user associated with the customer to solve a specific analytics need of the customer.
9 . The system of claim 7 , wherein:
the parameterized analytic template comprises at least one of a data preparation analytic template, a data modeling analytic template, a model evaluation analytic template, and a model deployment analytic template.
10 . The system of claim 7 , wherein:
the parameterized analytic template comprises steps specifically optimized for a particular domain and data sets of interest.
11 . The system of claim 7 , wherein:
an end-user user interface enables an end-user select data management and analytical tools from a comprehensive palette, to parameterize analytic workflows, to provide the self-service business users flexibility to address the particular needs of the customer without having to understand data preparation and modeling tasks.
12 . The system of claim 11 , wherein:
the end-user interface accommodates role-based authentication so particular groups of end-users have access to relevant templates to solve analytic problems of a domain of the particular group of end-users.
13 . A non-transitory, computer-readable storage medium embodying computer program code, the computer program code comprising computer executable instructions configured for:
providing an analytics workflow generation system, the analytics workflow generation system comprising an analytics workflow user interface;
generating a targeted parameterized analytics template via the analytics workflow user interface, the targeted parameterized analytics template being customized for a particular customer based upon analytics needs of the customer;
publishing the targeted analytics workflow to a workflow storage repository.
14 . The non-transitory, computer-readable storage medium of claim 13 , wherein the instructions are further configured for:
retrieving the targeted parameterized analytics template from the workflow storage repository, the retrieving being performed by an end-user associated with the customer to solve a specific analytics need of the customer.
15 . The non-transitory, computer-readable storage medium of claim 13 , wherein:
the parameterized analytic template comprises at least one of a data preparation analytic template, a data modeling analytic template, a model evaluation analytic template, and a model deployment analytic template.
16 . The non-transitory, computer-readable storage medium of claim 13 , wherein:
the parameterized analytic template comprises steps specifically optimized for a particular domain and data sets of interest.
