Experiment Tracking (Doc)
The following examples trains a simple regression model with scikit-learn, while enabling MLflow's autologging feature for experiment tracking.
import mlflow
from sklearn.model_selection import train_test_split
from sklearn.datasets import load_diabetes
from sklearn.ensemble import RandomForestRegressor
# Enable MLflow's automatic experiment tracking for scikit-learn
mlflow.sklearn.autolog()
# Load the training dataset
db = load_diabetes()
X_train, X_test, y_train, y_test = train_test_split(db.data, db.target)
rf = RandomForestRegressor(n_estimators=100, max_depth=6, max_features=3)
# MLflow triggers logging automatically upon model fitting
rf.fit(X_train, y_train)Once the above code finishes, run the following command in a separate terminal and access the MLflow UI via the printed URL. An MLflow Run should be automatically created, which tracks the training dataset, hyper parameters, performance metrics, the trained model, dependencies, and even more.
