Abstract: A method of architecting machine learning pipelines is provided. Example implementations of the method include causing an apparatus to generate a graphical user interface (GUI) from which a computing platform is accessible to architect machine learning pipelines. In example implementations, the method includes for a machine learning pipeline for a phase in the machine learning lifecycle: building software components that are separate, distinct and encapsulate respective processes executable to implement the phase in the machine learning lifecycle, the software components including ports that are communication endpoints of the software components. The method further includes interconnecting the software components with connections attached to the ports and thereby forming a network of interconnected software components that embodies the machine learning pipeline.
