This repository showcases an Email/SMS Spam Classification system using machine learning. The project integrates MLOps best practices with Docker for consistent environment management, GitHub Actions for CI/CD, and deployment on Render for live usage.
- Machine Learning Models: Training models to classify emails and SMS as spam or not spam.
- Natural Language Processing (NLP): Techniques for processing and analyzing textual data.
- Model Evaluation: Assessing the performance of the classification model.
- MLOps: Implementing continuous integration and deployment pipelines for ML projects.
- Docker: Containerizing the application for seamless deployment.
- CI/CD: Automating tests, builds, and deployments with GitHub Actions.
- Render: Deploying the application for live usage.
To get started with this project, follow these steps:
-
Clone the repository:
git clone https://github.com/Md-Emon-Hasan/ML-Project-Email-SMS-Spam-Classifier-with-MLOps.git
-
Navigate to the project directory:
cd ML-Project-Email-SMS-Spam-Classifier-with-MLOps -
Create a virtual environment and activate it:
python -m venv venv source venv/bin/activate # On Windows use `venv\Scripts\activate`
-
Install the dependencies:
pip install -r requirements.txt
-
Run the application:
python app.py
-
Open your browser and visit:
http://127.0.0.1:5000/
Check out the live version of the Email/SMS Spam Classifier app here.
This project is containerized using Docker to ensure that the environment is consistent across different systems.
-
Build the Docker image:
docker build -t spam-classifier . -
Run the Docker container:
docker run -p 5000:5000 spam-classifier
-
Visit the application:
http://127.0.0.1:5000/
This project uses GitHub Actions for continuous integration and deployment. Each commit triggers the following workflow:
- Linting and Testing: Automatically runs linting and tests to ensure code quality.
- Build and Deploy: Builds the Docker image and deploys the application to a cloud platform.
You can find the CI/CD workflow file in .github/workflows/ci-cd.yml.
This project integrates MLOps principles to manage the machine learning lifecycle efficiently:
- Model Versioning: Keep track of different versions of the model using version control.
- Automated Pipelines: Automate training, testing, and deployment pipelines using CI/CD.
- Monitoring: Implement monitoring tools to track model performance in production.
To deploy this application on Render, follow these steps:
-
Sign up for Render: Visit Render and sign up for an account.
-
Create a new Web Service:
- Select "New Web Service" from your Render dashboard.
- Connect your GitHub repository.
- Select your desired branch (e.g.,
main) and set up the build and runtime settings.
-
Deploy: Render will automatically build and deploy your application. Once the deployment is successful, your application will be live.
-
Access your live app: Your application will be accessible via a Render-generated URL.
Recommendations for maintaining and improving this project:
- Model Updating: Continuously retrain the model with new data to improve accuracy.
- Container Security: Ensure the Docker container is secure and free from vulnerabilities.
- Error Handling: Implement comprehensive error handling in both the app and the CI/CD pipeline.
- Documentation: Keep the documentation up-to-date with the latest changes and improvements.
Q: What is the purpose of this project? A: This project classifies emails and SMS as spam or not spam, demonstrating the use of machine learning, MLOps practices, Docker, and CI/CD pipelines.
Q: How can I contribute to this repository? A: Refer to the Contributing section for details on how to contribute.
Q: Can I deploy this app on cloud platforms? A: Yes, you can deploy the Dockerized app on platforms such as Heroku, Render, or AWS.
Common issues and solutions:
-
Issue: Docker Container Not Running Solution: Ensure that Docker is properly installed and the image was built successfully.
-
Issue: CI/CD Pipeline Failing Solution: Check the GitHub Actions logs for errors and ensure all tests pass locally before committing.
-
Issue: Model Accuracy Low Solution: Verify that the training data is preprocessed correctly and consider tuning the hyperparameters of the model.
