DAG Card is the new Model Card

Software Engineering 2021-11-28 v2 Machine Learning

Abstract

With the progressive commoditization of modeling capabilities, data-centric AI recognizes that what happens before and after training becomes crucial for real-world deployments. Following the intuition behind Model Cards, we propose DAG Cards as a form of documentation encompassing the tenets of a data-centric point of view. We argue that Machine Learning pipelines (rather than models) are the most appropriate level of documentation for many practical use cases, and we share with the community an open implementation to generate cards from code.
