If you want to run classification algorithm, you data set should satisfy:
- a label column. You can name it as you wish, such as Label.
Column name specification:
-
No restriction on the column names. You can name them as you want except for two special and optional column LATITUDE and LONGITUDE.
-
every column can only one column name. Multi level column names are not allowed.
-
Between two columns with values, a completed void column can exists.
The following are seven built-in data sets in our software stored on Google Drive and Tecent Docs, have a look on them. For the algorithm you intend to run, you can refer to the data format of the corresponding dataset.

Note: For more detail on data preparation, please refer to our online documentation in Model Example under the section of FOR USER.
How to run: After successfully downloading, run this instruction on command line / Jupyter Notebook / Google Colab whatever directory it is.
On command line:
geochemistrypi data-mining
On Jupyter Notebook / Google Colab:
!geochemistrypi data-mining
Note: There are four built-in data sets corresponding to four kinds of model pattern.
On command line:
geochemistrypi data-mining --data your_own_data_set.xlsx
On Jupyter Notebook / Google Colab:
!geochemistrypi data-mining --data your_own_data_set.xlsx
Note: Currently, .xlsx and .csv files are supported. Please specify the path your data file exists. For Google Colab, don't forget to upload your dataset first.
On command line:
geochemistrypi data-mining --training your_own_training_data.xlsx --application your_own_application_data.xlsx
On Jupyter Notebook / Google Colab:
!geochemistrypi data-mining --training your_own_training_data.xlsx --application your_own_application_data.xlsx
Note: Please make sure the column names (data schema) in both training data file and application data file are the same. Because the operations you perform via our software on the training data will be record automatically and subsequently applied to the application data in the same order.
The training data in our pipeline will be divided into the train set and test set used for training the ML model and evaluating the model's performance. The score includes two types. The first type is the scores from the prediction on the test set while the second type is cv scores from the cross validation on the train set.
On command line:
geochemistrypi data-mining --mlflow
On Jupyter Notebook / Google Colab:
!geochemistrypi data-mining --mlflow
Note: Once you run our software, there are two folders (geopi_output and geopi_tracking) generated automatically. Make sure the directory where you execute using the above command should have the genereted file geopi_tracking.
Copy the URL shown on the console into any browser to open the MLflow web interface. The URL is normally like this http://127.0.0.1:5000. Search MLflow online to see more operations and usages.

The following screenshot shows the downloads and launching of our software on macOS:
It works as a software application with a command-line interface (CLI) to automate data mining process with frequently-used machine learning algorithms and statistical analysis methods, which would further lower the threshold for the geochemists.
The highlight is that through choosing simple number options, the users are able to implement a full cycle of data mining without knowledge of SciPy, NumPy, Pandas, Scikit-learn, FLAML, Ray packages.
The following figure is the activity diagram of automated ML pipeline in Geochemistry π:
Its data section provides feature engineering based on arithmatic operation. It allows the users to have a statistic analysis on the data set as well as on the imputation result, which is supported by the combination of Monte Carlo simulation and hypothesis testing.
Its models section provides both supervised learning and unsupervised learning methods from Scikit-learn framework, including four types of algorithms, regression, classification, clustering, and dimensional reduction. Integrated with FLAML and Ray framework, it allows the users to run AutoML easily, fastly and cost-effectively on the built-in supervised learning algorithms in our framework.
The following figure is the hierarchical architecture of Geochemistry π:
Currently, we are building three access ways to provide more user-friendly service, including web portal, CLI package and API. It allows the user to perform continuous training and model inference by automating the ML pipeline and machine learning lifecycle management by unique storage mechanism in different access layers.

Current Working Pattern:
- Online working and cooperation
- Three weeks per working cycle -> One online meeting per working cycle
- One cycle report (see below) per cycle - 5 mins to finish
Even if you are not familiar with topics above, but if you are interested in and have plenty of time to do it. That's enough. We have a full-developed training system to help you, as a newbie of data mining or Python developer, learn steps by steps with seniors until you can make a significant contribution to our project.
