CreateSolution

Creates the configuration for training a model. A trained model is known as a solution version. After the configuration is created, you train the model (create a solution version) by calling the CreateSolutionVersion operation. Every time you call CreateSolutionVersion, a new version of the solution is created.

After creating a solution version, you check its accuracy by calling GetSolutionMetrics. When you are satisfied with the version, you deploy it using CreateCampaign. The campaign provides recommendations to a client through the GetRecommendations API.

To train a model, Amazon Personalize requires training data and a recipe. The training data comes from the dataset group that you provide in the request. A recipe specifies the training algorithm and a feature transformation. You can specify one of the predefined recipes provided by Amazon Personalize.

Note

Amazon Personalize doesn't support configuring the hpoObjective for solution hyperparameter optimization at this time.

Status

A solution can be in one of the following states:

CREATE PENDING > CREATE IN_PROGRESS > ACTIVE -or- CREATE FAILED
DELETE PENDING > DELETE IN_PROGRESS

To get the status of the solution, call DescribeSolution. Wait until the status shows as ACTIVE before calling CreateSolutionVersion.

Request Parameters

The request accepts the following data in JSON format.

datasetGroupArn

The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the dataset group that provides the training data.

Type: String

Length Constraints: Maximum length of 256.

Pattern: arn:([a-z\d-]+):personalize:.*:.*:.+

Required: Yes

eventType

When your have multiple event types (using an EVENT_TYPE schema field), this parameter specifies which event type (for example, 'click' or 'like') is used for training the model.

If you do not provide an eventType, Amazon Personalize will use all interactions for training with equal weight regardless of type.

Type: String

Length Constraints: Maximum length of 256.

Required: No

name

The name for the solution.

Type: String

Length Constraints: Minimum length of 1. Maximum length of 63.

Pattern: ^[a-zA-Z0-9][a-zA-Z0-9\-_]*

Required: Yes

performAutoML

Important

We don't recommend enabling automated machine learning. Instead, match your use case to the available Amazon Personalize recipes. For more information, see Determining your use case.

Whether to perform automated machine learning (AutoML). The default is false. For this case, you must specify recipeArn.

When set to true, Amazon Personalize analyzes your training data and selects the optimal USER_PERSONALIZATION recipe and hyperparameters. In this case, you must omit recipeArn. Amazon Personalize determines the optimal recipe by running tests with different values for the hyperparameters. AutoML lengthens the training process as compared to selecting a specific recipe.

Type: Boolean

Required: No

performHPO

Whether to perform hyperparameter optimization (HPO) on the specified or selected recipe. The default is false.

When performing AutoML, this parameter is always true and you should not set it to false.

Type: Boolean

Required: No

recipeArn

The ARN of the recipe to use for model training. Only specified when performAutoML is false.

Type: String

Length Constraints: Maximum length of 256.

Pattern: arn:([a-z\d-]+):personalize:.*:.*:.+

Required: No

solutionConfig

The configuration to use with the solution. When performAutoML is set to true, Amazon Personalize only evaluates the autoMLConfig section of the solution configuration.

Note

Amazon Personalize doesn't support configuring the hpoObjective at this time.

Type: SolutionConfig object

Required: No

tags

A list of tags to apply to the solution.

Type: Array of Tag objects

Array Members: Minimum number of 0 items. Maximum number of 200 items.

Required: No
