2. Data Visualization with Machbase Neo
- Data visualization is possible through the Tag Analyzer in Machbase Neo.
- Select desired tag names and visualize them in various types of graphs.

- Below, access the 2024-10 DataHub in real-time, select the desired tag names from the data of 564 tags, visualize them, and preview the data patterns.

3. Table Creation and Data Upload in Machbase Neo
- In the DataHub directory, use setup.wrk located in the ECG Heartbeat Categorization Dataset folder to create tables and load data, as illustrated in the image below.

1) Table Creation
- The table is created immediately upon pressing the "Run" button in the menu.
- If the ecg table exists, execute the first line and then the second. If it does not exist, start from the second line.

2) Data Upload
- Loading tables in two different ways.
Method 1) Table loading method using TQL in Machbase Neo (since machbase-neo v8.0.29-rc1
-
Pros
- Markbase Neo loads as soon as you hit the launch button.
-
Cons
- Slower table loading speed compared to other method.

Method 2) Loading tables using commands
-
Pros
- Fast table loading speed.
-
Cons
- The table loading process is cumbersome.
- Run cmd window - Change machbase-neo path - Enter command in cmd window.
- If run the below script from the command shell, the data will be entered at high speed into the ecg table.
curl http://data.yotahub.com/2024-10/datahub-2024-10-ECG-HeartBeat.csv.gz | machbase-neo shell import --input - --compress gzip --header --method append --timeformat ns ecg
- If specify a separate username and password, use the --user and --password options (if not sys/manager) and add the options as shown below.
curl http://data.yotahub.com/2024-10/datahub-2024-10-ECG-HeartBeat.csv.gz | machbase-neo shell import --input - --compress gzip --header --method append --timeformat ns ecg --user USERNAME --password PASSWORD

5. Experiment Code
- Below is the code for each of the two ways to get data from the database.
- If all the data can be loaded and trained at once without causing memory errors, then method 1 is the fastest and simplest.
- If the data is too large, causing memory errors, then the batch loading method proposed in method 2 is the most efficient.
Method 1) Loading the Entire Dataset
- The code below is implemented in a way that loads all the data needed for training from the database all at once.
- It is exactly the same as loading all CSV files (The only difference is that the data is loaded from Machbase Neo).
- Pros
- Can use the same code that was previously utilizing CSVs (Only the loading process is different).
- Cons
- Unable to train if trainable data size exceeds memory size.
- The entire code can be run through 10.ECG_HeartBeat_General.ipynb.
Method 2) Loading the Batch Dataset
- Method for loading data from the Machbase Neo for a single batch size.
- The code below is for fetching a time range sequentially for a single batch size.
- Pros
- It is possible to train the model regardless of the data size, no matter how large it is.
- Cons
- It takes longer to train compared to method 1.
- The entire code can be run through 10.ECG_HeartBeat_New_Batch.ipynb.
6. Experimental Results
Method 1) Loading the Entire Dataset Result

Method 2) Loading the Batch Dataset Result

- The F1 score for loading the entire dataset resulted in 0.89, loading the batch dataset resulted in same 0.89.
