Log Models

You can automatically serialize, save and version model objects as using the log_model method.

This is an example of serializing and storing an sklearn model. To log a model we start a run and then give our model a name and pass in the model object and the framework name.

import mlfoundry
import numpy as np
from sklearn.pipeline import make_pipeline
from sklearn.preprocessing import StandardScaler
from sklearn.svm import SVC

client = mlfoundry.get_client()
run = client.create_run(project_name="iris-demo")
X = np.array([[-1, -1], [-2, -1], [1, 1], [2, 1]])
y = np.array([1, 1, 2, 2])
clf = make_pipeline(StandardScaler(), SVC(gamma='auto'))
clf.fit(X, y)

model_version = run.log_model(
    name="iris-classifier", 
    model=clf, 
    framework="sklearn", 
    description="sample iris pipeline model",
    metadata={"accuracy": 0.99, "f1": 0.80},
    step=1,  # step number, useful when using iterative algorithms like SGD
)
print(model_version.fqn)
run.end()

This will create a new model iris-demo under the project and the first version v1 for iris-classifier. Once created the model version is immutable.

Once created, a model version has a fqn (fully qualified name) which can be used to retrieve the model later - E.g. model:truefoundry/user/iris-demo/iris-classifier:1

Any subsequent calls to log_model with the same name would create a new version of this model - v2, v3 and so on.

The logged model can be found in the dashboard in the Models tab under your project.

FAQs

What are the frameworks supported by the log_model method?

This method supports, "sklearn", "tensorflow", "pytorch", "keras", "xgboost", "lightgbm", "fastai", "h2o", "spacy", "statsmodels", "gluon", "paddle". These options are also available as a enum - mlfoundry.ModelFramework

How can I load back a logged model?

You can first get the model using the fqn and then use the load() function to deserialize and load the logged model.

import mlfoundry

client = mlfoundry.get_client()
model_version = client.get_model("<fqn-of-your-model>") # e.g. "model:truefoundry/user/iris-demo/iris-classifier:1"
model = model_version.load()

How can I download a logged model to disk?

You can first get the model using the fqn and then use the download() function to download a logged model.

import mlfoundry

client = mlfoundry.get_client()
model_version = client.get_model("<fqn-of-your-model>") # e.g. "model:truefoundry/user/iris-demo/iris-classifier:1"
download_info = model_version.download(path="path/to/your/location")
print(download_info)

From here on you can access the files at download_info.download_dir
