Basically lock the Task (so you cannot reset it or change it). Usually it also marks "ready to use" etc. It also will publish the models the Task created.

I'm kind of new to developing end to end applications so I'm also learning how the predefined pipelines work as well. I'll take a look at the clear ml custom pipelines

Understandable.

For anyone reading this. I think I've gotten an understanding. I can add folders to a dataset so I'll be creating single dataset and will just keep adding folders to it. Then keep records of it in a database

I'm assuming

Can you guys let me know what finalize and publish methods do?

VexedCat68 , thanks for the update 🙂

Yep this will work. BTW check the new pipeline it might have a more flexible solution

Finalizes locks the model and publish I assume publishes it to the server
