  Models in SSIXand Redlink In Redlink, particularly in the SSIX project, we deal with quite deep neural networks that produce very large models (several Gigabytes). Therefore we thought how to address two problems: 1. How to properly manage its distribution and versioning? 2. How to automatizate its testing?

  Moven moven = models+ maven https://bitbucket.org/ssix-project/moven The thesis why we started to work on Moven was the lack of proper state-of-the-art technology for addressing the two needs described before (distributing and testability). Some examples: ● TensorFlow public models use a regular git repository ● In Spark ML most of the people use a shared storage (e.g., HDFS) ● OpenNLP also bundle them as JARs ● Freeling uses a share folder from the native installation packages ● Some other proprietary methods... As Maven does a great work for software artifact, we decided to reuse that infrastructure for models too.

  Moven key features ●Model agnostic ● Publication based on a regular Maven plugin ● Distribution relying on the existing Maven infrastructure ○ benefiting of all the features provided by existing tooling (access control, mirroring, etc) ● Retrieval current supported in: ○ Java (Maven of course) ○ Python (relying on jip) ● Built-in gzip-based compression

  Related work There aresome interesting work related with our goals: ● StandordNLP has recently (>3.5.2) changed to bundle the modules as Maven artifacts ● TensorFlow Serving helps to deploy new algorithms for TensorFlow models ● PipelineIO combines several technologies (Spark, NetflixOSS, etc; they call it the PANCAKE STACK) to provide models distribution, including incremental training, among many other features (more details).

  Using your Movenmodels From Java: ● Declare the dependency to your models at your pom.xml ● Then models will be available in your classpath: ● Also exposed via HTTP as static resources when the JAR is deployed in any Servlet >=3.0 container (inspired by James Ward and the WebJars project). From Python: ● Install it: pip install moven ● Declare at models.txt your models in your project (as we do with requirements.txt) with a syntax similar to Groovy's Grape: ● Execute moven models.txt to retrieve all models to ./moven organized by artifactId. ● Thought-out specifically for container deployments this.getClass().getClassLoader() .getResourceAsStream("META-INF/resources/models/foo.ex") io.redlink.ssix.moven:moven-syntaxnet-example:1.0-SNAPSHOT

  Current status andfuture Moven is still in a very early stage, but already being used in production in SSIX and other Redlink projects. We will keep exploring such approaches to find a way to better manage the lifecycle of the models that drive our information extraction (Natural Language Processing, Machine Learning, Deep Learning, etc) stack. For example, we want to target more specific needs in some concrete environments, such as Apache Spark and/or Apache Beam Runners API.
