/AWS1/CL_SGM=>CREATEHYPERPARAMTUNINGJOB()

About CreateHyperParameterTuningJob

Starts a hyperparameter tuning job. A hyperparameter tuning job finds the best version of a model by running many training jobs on your dataset using the algorithm you choose and values for hyperparameters within ranges that you specify. It then chooses the hyperparameter values that result in a model that performs the best, as measured by an objective metric that you choose.

A hyperparameter tuning job automatically creates Amazon SageMaker experiments, trials, and trial components for each training job that it runs. You can view these entities in Amazon SageMaker Studio. For more information, see View Experiments, Trials, and Trial Components.

Do not include any security-sensitive information including account access IDs, secrets or tokens in any hyperparameter field. If the use of security-sensitive credentials are detected, SageMaker will reject your training job request and return an exception error.

Method Signature

IMPORTING

Required arguments:

IV_HYPERPARAMTUNINGJOBNAME TYPE /AWS1/SGMHYPERPARAMTUNJOBNAME /AWS1/SGMHYPERPARAMTUNJOBNAME

The name of the tuning job. This name is the prefix for the names of all training jobs that this tuning job launches. The name must be unique within the same Amazon Web Services account and Amazon Web Services Region. The name must have 1 to 32 characters. Valid characters are a-z, A-Z, 0-9, and : + = @ _ % - (hyphen). The name is not case sensitive.

IO_HYPERPARAMTUNINGJOBCONFIG TYPE REF TO /AWS1/CL_SGMHYPPARAMTUNJOBCFG /AWS1/CL_SGMHYPPARAMTUNJOBCFG

The HyperParameterTuningJobConfig object that describes the tuning job, including the search strategy, the objective metric used to evaluate training jobs, ranges of parameters to search, and resource limits for the tuning job. For more information, see How Hyperparameter Tuning Works.

Optional arguments:

IO_TRAININGJOBDEFINITION TYPE REF TO /AWS1/CL_SGMHYPPARAMTRNJOBDEFN /AWS1/CL_SGMHYPPARAMTRNJOBDEFN

The HyperParameterTrainingJobDefinition object that describes the training jobs that this tuning job launches, including static hyperparameters, input data configuration, output data configuration, resource configuration, and stopping condition.

IT_TRAININGJOBDEFINITIONS TYPE /AWS1/CL_SGMHYPPARAMTRNJOBDEFN=>TT_HYPERPARAMTRAININGJOBDEFNS TT_HYPERPARAMTRAININGJOBDEFNS

A list of the HyperParameterTrainingJobDefinition objects launched for this tuning job.

IO_WARMSTARTCONFIG TYPE REF TO /AWS1/CL_SGMHYPPRMTUNJOBWARM00 /AWS1/CL_SGMHYPPRMTUNJOBWARM00

Specifies the configuration for starting the hyperparameter tuning job using one or more previous tuning jobs as a starting point. The results of previous tuning jobs are used to inform which combinations of hyperparameters to search over in the new tuning job.

All training jobs launched by the new hyperparameter tuning job are evaluated by using the objective metric. If you specify IDENTICAL_DATA_AND_ALGORITHM as the WarmStartType value for the warm start configuration, the training job that performs the best in the new tuning job is compared to the best training jobs from the parent tuning jobs. From these, the training job that performs the best as measured by the objective metric is returned as the overall best training job.

All training jobs launched by parent hyperparameter tuning jobs and the new hyperparameter tuning jobs count against the limit of training jobs for the tuning job.

IT_TAGS TYPE /AWS1/CL_SGMTAG=>TT_TAGLIST TT_TAGLIST

An array of key-value pairs. You can use tags to categorize your Amazon Web Services resources in different ways, for example, by purpose, owner, or environment. For more information, see Tagging Amazon Web Services Resources.

Tags that you specify for the tuning job are also added to all training jobs that the tuning job launches.

IO_AUTOTUNE TYPE REF TO /AWS1/CL_SGMAUTOTUNE /AWS1/CL_SGMAUTOTUNE

Configures SageMaker Automatic model tuning (AMT) to automatically find optimal parameters for the following fields:

  • ParameterRanges: The names and ranges of parameters that a hyperparameter tuning job can optimize.

  • ResourceLimits: The maximum resources that can be used for a training job. These resources include the maximum number of training jobs, the maximum runtime of a tuning job, and the maximum number of training jobs to run at the same time.

  • TrainingJobEarlyStoppingType: A flag that specifies whether or not to use early stopping for training jobs launched by a hyperparameter tuning job.

  • RetryStrategy: The number of times to retry a training job.

  • Strategy: Specifies how hyperparameter tuning chooses the combinations of hyperparameter values to use for the training jobs that it launches.

  • ConvergenceDetected: A flag to indicate that Automatic model tuning (AMT) has detected model convergence.
