""" .. _mlflow-classification-recipe: The MLflow Classification Recipe is an MLflow Recipe for developing binary classification models. Multiclass classifiers are currently not supported. The classification recipe is designed for developing models using scikit-learn and frameworks that integrate with scikit-learn, such as the ``XGBClassifier`` API from XGBoost. The `ClassificationRecipe API Documentation ` provides instructions for executing the recipe and inspecting its results. The training recipe contains the following sequential steps: **ingest** -> **split** -> **transform** -> **train** -> **evaluate** -> **register** The batch scoring recipe contains the following sequential steps: **ingest_scoring** -> **predict** The recipe steps are defined as follows: - **ingest** - The **ingest** step resolves the dataset specified by |'ingest' step definition in recipe.yaml| and converts it to parquet format, leveraging the custom dataset parsing code defined in |steps/ingest.py| if necessary. Subsequent steps convert this dataset into training, validation, & test sets and use them to develop a model. .. note:: If you make changes to the dataset referenced by the **ingest** step (e.g. by adding new records or columns), you must manually re-run the **ingest** step in order to use the updated dataset in the recipe. The **ingest** step does *not* automatically detect changes in the dataset. .. note:: `target_col` must have a cardinality of two and `positive_class` must be specified. .. _mlflow-classification-recipe-split-step: - **split** - The **split** step splits the ingested dataset produced by the **ingest** step into a training dataset for model training, a validation dataset for model performance evaluation & tuning, and a test dataset for model performance evaluation. The fraction of records allocated to each dataset is defined by the ``split_ratios`` attribute of the |'split' step definition in recipe.yaml|. The **split** step also preprocesses the datasets using logic defined in |steps/split.py|. Subsequent steps use these datasets to develop a model and measure its performance. - **transform** - The **transform** step uses the training dataset created by **split** to fit a transformer that performs the transformations defined in |steps/transform.py|. The transformer is then applied to the training dataset and the validation dataset, creating transformed datasets that are used by subsequent steps for estimator training and model performance evaluation. .. _mlflow-classification-recipe-train-step: - **train** - The **train** step uses the transformed training dataset output from the **transform** step to fit an estimator with the type and parameters defined in |steps/train.py|. The estimator is then joined with the fitted transformer output from the **transform** step to create a model recipe. Finally, this model recipe is evaluated against the transformed training and validation datasets to compute performance metrics; custom metrics are computed according to definitions in |steps/custom_metrics.py| and the |'custom_metrics' section of recipe.yaml|. The model recipe and its associated parameters, performance metrics, and lineage information are logged to MLflow Tracking, producing an MLflow Run. .. note:: The **train** step supports hyperparameter tuning with hyperopt by adding configurations in the |'tuning' section of the 'train' step definition in recipe.yaml|. - **evaluate** - The **evaluate** step evaluates the model recipe created by the **train** step on the test dataset output from the **split** step, computing performance metrics and model explanations. Performance metrics are compared against configured thresholds to compute a ``model_validation_status``, which indicates whether or not a model is good enough to be registered to the MLflow Model Registry by the subsequent **register** step. Custom performance metrics are computed according to definitions in |steps/custom_metrics.py| and the |'custom_metrics' section of recipe.yaml|. Model performance thresholds are defined in the |'validation_criteria' section of the 'evaluate' step definition in recipe.yaml|. Model performance metrics and explanations are logged to the same MLflow Tracking Run used by the **train** step. - **register** - The **register** step checks the ``model_validation_status`` output of the preceding **evaluate** step and, if model validation was successful (as indicated by the ``'VALIDATED'`` status), registers the model recipe created by the **train** step to the MLflow Model Registry. If the ``model_validation_status`` does not indicate that the model passed validation checks (i.e. its value is ``'REJECTED'``), the model recipe is not registered to the MLflow Model Registry. If the model recipe is registered to the MLflow Model Registry, a ``registered_model_version`` is produced containing the model name and the model version. .. note:: The model validation status check can be disabled by specifying ``allow_non_validated_model: true`` in the |'register' step definition of recipe.yaml|, in which case the model recipe is always registered with the MLflow Model Registry when the **register** step is executed. - **ingest_scoring** - The **ingest_scoring** step resolves the dataset specified by the |'ingest_scoring' section in recipe.yaml| and converts it to parquet format, leveraging the custom dataset parsing code defined in |steps/ingest.py| if necessary. .. note:: If you make changes to the dataset referenced by the **ingest_scoring** step (e.g. by adding new records or columns), you must manually re-run the **ingest_scoring** step in order to use the updated dataset in the recipe. The **ingest_scoring** step does *not* automatically detect changes in the dataset. - **predict** - The **predict** step uses the ingested dataset for scoring created by the **ingest_scoring** step and applies the specified model to the dataset. .. note:: In Databricks, the **predict** step writes the output parquet/delta files to DBFS.
