Get started

Installation

From PyPI

# With pip:
pip install -U mle-agent

# With uv:
uv pip install -U mle-agent

From source

1. Clone the repo

   git clone https://github.com/MLSysOps/MLE-agent.git
   cd MLE-agent

2. Create & activate a virtual env

   uv venv .venv
   source .venv/bin/activate      # Linux/macOS

3. Editable install

   pip install -e .               # or: pip install -e .

Usage

mle new <project name>

And a project directory will be created under the current path, you need to start the project under the project directory.

cd <project name>
mle start

You can also start an interactive chat in the terminal under the project directory:

mle chat

Use cases

🧪 Prototype an ML Baseline

MLE agent can help you prototype an ML baseline with the given requirements, and test the model on the local machine. The requirements can be vague, such as "I want to predict the stock price based on the historical data".

cd <project name>
mle start

📊 Generate Work Report

MLE agent can help you summarize your weekly report, including development progress, communication notes, reference, and to-do lists.

Mode 1: Web Application to Generate Report from GitHub

cd <project name>
mle report

Then, you can visit http://localhost:3000/ to generate your report locally.

Mode 2: CLI Tool to Generate Report from Local Git Repository

cd <project name>
mle report-local --email=<git email> --start-date=YYYY-MM-DD --end-date=YYYY-MM-DD <path_to_git_repo>

• --start-date and --end-date are optional parameters. If omitted, the command will generate a report for the default date range of the last 7 days.
• Replace <git email> with your Git email and <path_to_git_repo> with the path to your local Git repository.

🏆 Start with Kaggle Competition

MLE agent can participate in Kaggle competitions and finish coding and debugging from data preparation to model training independently. Here is the basic command to start a Kaggle competition:

cd <project name>
mle kaggle

Or you can let the agents finish the Kaggle task without human interaction if you have the dataset and submission file ready:

cd <project name>
mle kaggle --auto \
--datasets "<path_to_dataset1>,<path_to_dataset2>,..." \
--description "<description_file_path_or_text>" \
--submission "<submission_file_path>" \
--sub_example "<submission_example_file_path>" \ 
--comp_id "<competition_id>"

Please make sure you have joined the competition before running the command. For more details, see the MLE-Agent Tutorials.

Roadmap

The following is a list of the tasks we plan to do, welcome to propose something new!
