Favorita: MLflow Tracking Utility
The actual tracking helper: a small experiment-tracking utility that every model script imports to log params, metrics, and artifacts to MLflow the same way. One module, consistent run history across XGBoost, random forest, and time-series models.
Primary Outcome
A single shared utility that gives every model consistent MLflow logging without per-script boilerplate.
Solution
A single shared tracking utility that standardizes what every model logs, so runs are consistent, comparable, and reproducible.
Deliverables
experiment_tracking.py— the shared MLflow logging utilityA consistent run-logging interface used by every model script
Param, metric, and artifact logging in one place
A test that documents the expected tracking behavior
Strategic Context
Tracking only helps if it's consistent. Five scripts each logging slightly different things produce runs you can't actually compare. A shared utility enforces the consistency that makes experiment history trustworthy — the unglamorous detail that decides whether tracking is useful or noise.

Problem Statement
When each model script logs to MLflow its own way, runs aren't comparable and tracking becomes noise instead of signal.

What's Included
The vertex/utils/experiment_tracking.py module and its test in vertex/tests, providing the shared MLflow logging interface the model scripts call.
FAQs
Is this tied to these models?
No — it's a thin wrapper over MLflow. Any Python model can import it and log consistently.
Local or hosted MLflow?
Either. The utility points at whatever tracking backend you configure.
