Exypdata

Exypdata is an open‑source data management framework that aims to simplify the collection, cleaning, and visualization of experimental datasets. The project was initiated in 2021 by a group of researchers from California Institute of Technology who sought a lightweight tool that could handle the rapid influx of data produced in high‑throughput laboratory experiments. The name Exypdata is an abbreviation of “Experimental Yields and Predictions Data.”

The framework provides a modular pipeline architecture with three core components: ingestion, processing, and output. Ingestion supports a variety of file formats such as CSV, JSON, and proprietary sensor logs, as well as direct integration with laboratory instruments via a REST API. The processing layer offers built‑in routines for outlier detection, normalization, feature engineering, and statistical summarization. Users can extend the pipeline with custom Python scripts or plug in machine‑learning models from libraries like scikit‑learn or TensorFlow. Output options include interactive dashboards generated with Plotly Dash, export to SQL databases, and automatic generation of LaTeX reports.

Exypdata is released under the MIT license and hosted on GitHub, where it has attracted contributions from more than five hundred developers worldwide. The project maintains a comprehensive documentation website, a series of example Jupyter notebooks, and a community forum for troubleshooting and feature requests. Its adoption has spread across academic labs, pharmaceutical R&D groups, and industrial process monitoring teams, largely due to its emphasis on reproducibility and ease of deployment. The latest stable release, version 3.5, introduced native support for streaming data and improved performance for large‑scale datasets.
