Weave - Interactive Data Exploration Toolkit by Weights & Biases
Hello 👋 and welcome to Weave!
Weave, developed by the team at Weights and Biases, is a new open-source toolkit designed for performant, interactive data exploration. Our mission is to equip Machine Learning practitioners with the best tools to turn data into insights quickly and easily.
Whether you are a seasoned data scientist, an aspiring ML practitioner, or just a tech enthusiast eager to play with data, Weave is for you.
Install weave using pip install weave and import weave in your notebook.
Then start exploring your existing datasets with 1 line of code!:
# use any existing dataframe, here we load the iris data and visualize the labels
from sklearn.datasets import load_iris
iris = load_iris(as_frame=True)
df = iris.data.assign(target=iris.target_names[iris.target])
weave.show(df)
Try this in a Jupyter notebook ->
For example:
1. View a dataframe (in this case the Iris dataset)
2. Interactively derive insights
3. Create and share dashboards
Weave has example notebooks demonstrating common usage patterns. To use the notebooks, clone this repository and install the examples' dependencies:
pip install '.[examples]'
then run through the notebooks in ./examples.
- 🚀 Performant: Weave is built with performance in mind. It's designed to handle large datasets smoothly so you can focus on what matters - exploring data and finding insights. Under the hood we optimize execution plans and parallelize computation using Arrow.
- 🎨 Interactive: Weave is all about making data exploration fun and interactive. It empowers you to engage with your data and discover patterns that static graphs can't reveal - without learning complicated APIs! Beautiful and interactive plots to bring your data to life.
- 🧩 Modular Ecosystem: Weave's architecture & compute language is build on Types, Ops, and Panels. Combine different components to build your customized data exploration toolkit, and publish reusable components into the ecosystem for others to use!
- 💻 Open-Source: We believe in the power of open-source. Weave is built by the community, for the community. We are excited to see how you use it and what you build with it.
Before you dive in, make sure you have the required software installed. You'll find all the details in our Installation Guide.
After installation, check out our Quick Start Guide to get a feel for Weave. For deeper dives, we recommend our Example Notebooks, which are packed with detailed explanations, examples, and even some data exploration wizardry!
Important: Weave is newly open sourced and the APIs are subject to change. Please report any issues to https://github.com/wandb/weave/issues.
