Detailed Description

Reference will now be made in detail to embodiments of the present disclosure, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings, wherein like reference numerals refer to the like elements throughout. The embodiments will be described below in order to explain the present disclosure by referring to the figures.

Fig. 1 shows a flow chart of a method of configuring a directed acyclic graph according to an exemplary embodiment of the disclosure.

Referring to fig. 1, in step S101, a drawing page of a directed acyclic graph is displayed.

The drawing page is used for constructing the directed acyclic graph and displaying the constructed directed acyclic graph.

As an example, a directed acyclic graph for representing a built machine learning modeling process may be presented in a drawing page for building the machine learning modeling process. Nodes in the directed acyclic graph are operators corresponding to steps in the machine learning modeling process.

As an example, a drawing page of a directed acyclic graph may be displayed in response to a user operation to open a file for describing a machine learning modeling process, and the directed acyclic graph representing a content-defined machine learning modeling process of the file may be presented in the drawing page; the drawing page in which the directed acyclic graph representing the machine learning modeling process that the user has constructed is also displayed in response to a user operation requesting the creation of the machine learning modeling process, and in real time in response to a user operation for constructing the machine learning modeling process, for example, adding and connecting respective nodes corresponding to respective steps.

As an example, the machine learning modeling process may include, but is not limited to, at least one of the following steps: data input, data processing, data loading, data quality inspection, data missing value filling, data splicing, data splitting, feature extraction, model training, model testing, model evaluation, post-trigger processing conditions, data storage, data format conversion and result submission.

Further, as an example, a directed acyclic graph representing a constructed machine learning prediction process may be presented in a drawing page for constructing the machine learning prediction process. Nodes in the directed acyclic graph are operators corresponding to steps in the machine learning prediction process. It should be understood that the method of configuring a directed acyclic graph according to an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure can also be applied to other scenarios in which a directed acyclic graph needs to be constructed, which is not limited by the present disclosure.

Fig. 2 illustrates an example of a drawing page of a directed acyclic graph, according to an example embodiment of the disclosure. As shown in FIG. 2, a directed acyclic graph can be presented in a canvas area of a drawing page.

As an example, on the drawing page, the directed acyclic graph may be displayed based on a display style corresponding to each node; wherein the display style is associated with node information.

As an example, the node information may include, but is not limited to, at least one of: the method comprises the steps of a function type of a node, a link to which the node belongs, an editing mode of the node, a creator of the node, an execution condition of the node and a type of an object aimed by the node. For example, in a machine learning scenario, the types of links may include, but are not limited to: data management, characteristic engineering, judgment conditions and data output. For example, the types of editing means may include, but are not limited to: a code editing mode and a form editing mode. For example, the types of execution may include, but are not limited to: successful execution, execution failure, to be executed, executed. The types of objects for which the node is directed may include, but are not limited to: data, features, models.

As an example, the display style may include, but is not limited to, at least one of: color, icon. For example, the color may refer to at least one of the following: the border color of the node, the fill color of the node, the color of the name of the node, the color of the icon.

Fig. 3 illustrates an example of a display style of a node according to an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in fig. 3, the icons of the nodes with the same function type in the directed acyclic graph are the same, and the icons of the nodes with different function types are different.

According to the embodiment of the disclosure, the display modes of the nodes in the directed acyclic graph are used for prompting the types of the nodes differently, the display modes of the nodes of the same type are consistent, and the display modes of the nodes of different types are different, so that a user can intuitively know the nodes belonging to the same type or the nodes belonging to different types through the visual effect of the nodes in the directed acyclic graph, and the user can conveniently and uniformly search the nodes, for example, the user can conveniently and uniformly check and edit all the steps belonging to the same type in the machine learning modeling process.

In step S102, in response to a node selection operation performed on a node in the directed acyclic graph on the drawing page, a plurality of function entry controls are displayed for the selected node.

As an example, the node selection operation may be a single click operation of a node, and it should be understood that other types of user operations for selecting a node are also possible, which is not limited by the present disclosure.

As an example, the functions corresponding to the plurality of function entry controls may include at least one of: a function for controlling the node execution state; functions for controlling the timing of the node execution; a function for monitoring the execution of the node; a function for deleting the node and/or configuration information of the node; a function for copying configuration information of the node and/or nodes.

As an example, the control node execution state may include start execution/retry/pause execution.

As an example, the monitoring type of the execution condition of the monitoring node may include at least one of the following for task monitoring of the task execution state of the monitoring node; the service index monitoring is used for monitoring the execution index value of the node aiming at the specific service index; and (5) custom monitoring.

As an example, the task execution state may include, but is not limited to: task success, task failure, task execution.

As an example, in a machine learning scenario, business metrics may include, but are not limited to: accuracy and recall rate.

As an example, custom monitoring may be customized by a user to what needs to be monitored and the subsequent alert mode and alert triggered operation. For example, in a financial anti-fraud machine learning scenario, a suspicious account may be alerted or automatically locked after triggering.

As an example, multiple function entry controls for a selected node may be displayed in the vicinity of the node. For example, as shown in FIG. 4, the plurality of functional entry controls displayed in the vicinity of the selected node are, in order from left to right: start/retry/pause function entry control, monitor function entry control, timing function entry control, delete function entry control, copy function entry control.

According to an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, start/retry/pause, monitoring, timing, deletion, duplication at the support node level.

In step S103, in response to a control selection operation performed on the displayed function entry control, a configuration window for configuring a function corresponding to the selected function entry control is presented on the drawing page.

As an example, the control selection operation may be an operation of clicking on a control, and it should be understood that other types of user operations for selecting a control are also possible, which is not limited by the present disclosure.

As an example, a configuration window for configuring a function corresponding to the selected function entry control may be presented in the vicinity of the selected node.

According to the exemplary embodiment of the disclosure, the corresponding configuration window can be directly popped up on the drawing page without page skip, so that the user can conveniently conduct subsequent detailed configuration.

In step S104, the selected node is configured in response to the configuration operation performed in the configuration window.

As an example, when the selected function entry control is a duplicate function entry control, a configuration window as shown in fig. 5 may be displayed.

As an example, when the selected function entry control is a monitoring function entry control, a configuration window as shown in fig. 6 may be displayed, through which a user may select a new monitoring task or modify a configured monitoring task, for example, after selecting a control of the new monitoring task, the user may jump to the configuration window as shown in fig. 7, through which the user may specifically configure the type and content of the new monitoring task. For example, the types of monitoring tasks may include, but are not limited to: task monitoring, business index monitoring and custom monitoring.

It should be understood that the number of monitoring tasks can be flexibly configured according to specific situations and actual requirements. Corresponding monitoring result prompts are given in the monitoring process and/or monitoring results are given at the end of the monitoring process.

According to the exemplary embodiment of the disclosure, the monitoring and monitoring configuration visualization of the node level is increased, so that in the engineering of DAG work, not only the global but also the particularly important nodes can be monitored individually.

Further, as an example, the configuration method of the directed acyclic graph according to an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure may further include: after the configuration of the selected node is completed, the selected node is displayed as being in a state in which a function corresponding to the selected function entry control has been configured. For example, as shown in fig. 8, after the monitoring function of a node is configured, a corresponding icon may be displayed on the node to indicate that the node is in a state in which the monitoring function has been configured. According to the embodiment of the disclosure, which functions of the user node are configured can be conveniently prompted.

As an example, the configuration method of the directed acyclic graph according to an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure may further include: determining a subunit in the directed acyclic graph based on a relationship between nodes in the directed acyclic graph on the drawing page, wherein the subunit is composed of one node or a plurality of nodes connected to each other.

As an example, a sub-unit in the directed acyclic graph may be determined based on functional attributes of nodes in the directed acyclic graph on the drawing page, wherein any one of the sub-units is configured to implement one or more functions. In other words, the present embodiment divides each subunit in the directed acyclic graph by the commonly implemented functions, specifically, divides at least one node commonly implementing one or more functions into one subunit.

As another example, the subunits in the directed acyclic graph may be determined based on the edge connection relationships of the nodes in the directed acyclic graph on the drawing page, wherein the edge connection relationship of a node in the subunit, which is not within the subunit, connected by the end node or the start node of any one of the subunits satisfies a specific condition. For example, for any one subunit, the number of input edges of the subunit to which the termination node of the subunit is connected is greater than 1 (i.e., the ingress of the downstream node of the edge where the termination node is located is greater than 1), and/or the number of output edges of the subunit to which the start node of the subunit is connected to the node other than the subunit is greater than 1 (i.e., the egress of the upstream node of the edge where the start node is located is greater than 1).

The termination node of a subunit, i.e., the node furthest downstream of all nodes of the subunit, and the start node of a subunit, i.e., the node furthest upstream of all nodes of the subunit, is connected to other nodes (i.e., nodes not within the subunit) by its termination or start node. The directed graph is composed of nodes and directed edges, the directed edges connect upstream points and downstream points, the directed edges are directional and point from one node to another, namely point from the upstream point to the downstream point, correspondingly, the incoming degree refers to the number of the directed edges where one node is located as the downstream point, and the outgoing degree refers to the number of the directed edges where one node is located as the upstream point.

In other words, the present embodiment divides each subunit in the directed acyclic graph by determining each branch as one subunit, specifically, divides all nodes on the same branch into one subunit. For example, as shown in fig. 9, DAG2 is the termination node of the subunit in which it is located (the subunit encircled by the dashed box). For example, as shown in fig. 9, DAG2 and its upstream node may be determined as a subunit, DAG3 and its upstream node may be determined as a subunit, DAG4 and its upstream node may be determined as a subunit, and so on, which will not be described in detail.

As an example, the configuration method of the directed acyclic graph according to an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure may further include: in response to a state adjustment operation on a subunit in the directed acyclic graph, a display state of the subunit is adjusted. For example, the display state may include: a folded state and an unfolded state.

As an example, a subunit in the directed acyclic graph may be folded and a subunit icon representing the folded subunit may be displayed in response to a folding operation of the subunit; or, in response to the unfolding operation of the displayed subunit icon, displaying the node included in the subunit represented by the subunit icon.

As an example, the collapse operation may include hovering a river over a connection point of the subunit for connection to other nodes (an input point of a start node or an output point of a termination node of the subunit), and clicking a collapse control (e.g., a control shown within a solid line box in fig. 9) displayed in response to the hover operation. It should be appreciated that the folding operation may also be other types of user operations for folding the subunits, as this disclosure is not limited in this regard.

As an example, the expand operation may be a single click operation of a subunit icon, and it should be understood that other types of user operations for expanding subunits are also possible, as this disclosure is not limited in this regard.

As an example, the display style of the subunit icon may be used to hint the number of nodes included in the subunit represented by the subunit icon. For example, the display style of the sub-unit icon may be as shown in fig. 10, which intuitively indicates that the sub-unit includes 6 nodes.

In one embodiment, the method for configuring a directed acyclic graph according to an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure may further include: the sub-units in the directed acyclic graph are multiplexed in response to a multiplexing operation on the sub-units. As an example, the multiplexing operation includes: and copying the sub-units in the directed acyclic graph, and pasting the copied sub-units at the positions needing multiplexing in the drawing page.

In another embodiment, the configuration method of the directed acyclic graph according to an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure may further include: the constructed sub-units are added to the drawing page in response to a multiplexing operation that multiplexes the constructed sub-units on the drawing page. Here, the constructed sub-units may include both sub-units displayed on the current drawing page and sub-units not displayed on the current drawing page (i.e., sub-units that have been constructed and saved before). According to embodiments of the present disclosure, subunits may be multiplexed within a global scope.

As an example, the multiplexing operation may include: newly adding a blank node on the drawing page, and configuring the blank node as the constructed subunit; alternatively, the multiplexing operation includes: dragging the constructed sub-units from the sub-unit list to the drawing page.

By way of example, the list of sub-units includes identifications of sub-units that have been constructed, including, for example, sub-units that are displayed on the current drawing page and sub-units that are not displayed on the current drawing page as determined by the exemplary manner described above.

As an example, the operation of configuring the blank node as the constructed subunit may include: and configuring the file path of the blank node as the file path of the constructed subunit, or importing the file of the constructed subunit into the blank node. For example, as shown in FIG. 11, the DAG model operator at 1 may be dragged into the canvas area (at 2) and then the required sub-units imported into the directed acyclic graph for use by path association or import files at right side 3.

It should be understood that the multiplexing operation may also be other types of user operations for multiplexing subunits, which the present disclosure is not limited to.

According to exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure, the merging of DAG portions of one or more different functional modules into one DAG subunit is supported, and the folding and unfolding of the DAG subunit is supported, as well as the multiplexing of one DAG subunit at different places. According to the exemplary embodiment of the disclosure, the user can be facilitated to multiplex the constructed sub-units, so that the flexibility and the expandability of configuring the directed acyclic graph are improved.

According to an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, visualization of the directed acyclic graph is enhanced and interaction means of the directed acyclic graph are optimized, in particular:

providing a user with a multifunctional shortcut configuration entry for a single node on a drawing page of the directed acyclic graph, and responding to a selection operation of the configuration entry, directly popping up a corresponding configuration window on the drawing page without page jump, so that the user can carry out subsequent detailed configuration for the single node, and the configured node can be displayed in a configured state;

different types of nodes are distinguished through display patterns, so that a user can intuitively know the nodes belonging to the same type or the nodes belonging to different types through the visual effect of the nodes in the directed acyclic graph;

Support node level start/retry/pause, monitor, timing, delete, copy;

the monitoring and monitoring configuration visualization of the node level is increased;

the DAG part of one group of functional modules or a plurality of groups of different functional modules is combined into one DAG subunit, the folding and unfolding of the DAG subunit are supported, and the multiplexing of one DAG subunit in different places is also supported.

Therefore, the configuration efficiency and the configuration experience of the directed acyclic graph can be improved, and the configuration threshold of the directed acyclic graph can be reduced.
