LogMark for Data Scientists

Hypotheses during EDA. Experiment decisions. Model intuitions captured before they fade.

The Problem

You're running an exploratory analysis when you notice an anomaly. You have a hunch about what's causing it, but you need to finish the current notebook first. By the time you circle back, the hunch is gone - or worse, you can't remember why it felt important.

Data science workflows generate constant micro-insights: feature interactions during EDA, hyperparameter intuitions during training, unexpected correlations during validation. Most never get recorded because the capture friction is too high relative to the thought's immediacy.

Why LogMark

LogMark captures which application and window you're in. Entries from Jupyter, VS Code, or your terminal include that context automatically. Route hypotheses to experiment folders. Tag with dataset names or model versions. Search later by any of these dimensions.

Workflows

Hypothesis capture during EDA

+churn-model i: customer tenure might be confounded with plan type
+churn-model i: check if signup source correlates with early churn

Experiment decisions

+churn-model d: using XGBoost over random forest -- handles missing values natively, team has experience

Observation capture during training

+churn-model b: model overfits badly on segment C -- maybe need stratified sampling

Feature engineering ideas

+churn-model i: interaction feature between tenure and support ticket count

Result logging

+churn-model AUC improved to 0.847 with tenure bucketing #experiment-23

Example Day

9:00 AM
Planning the day's experiments.
t: run ablation study on feature set B +churn-model t: review literature on temporal features +ml-research
10:30 AM
Exploring data, something catches your eye.
+churn-model i: the 30-day churn spike lines up with billing cycle changes
1:00 PM
Making a model architecture decision.
+churn-model d: ensemble approach -- XGBoost for tabular features, LSTM for sequence data
3:00 PM
Training stalls.
+churn-model b: gradient explosion on sequence branch -- need to check input normalization
4:30 PM
Results look promising.
+churn-model ensemble hit 0.891 AUC on holdout -- 5% improvement over baseline #experiment-31

MLflow Integration

Link captures to MLflow experiment runs. Tag entries with run IDs and LogMark connects the reasoning to the metrics automatically.
