Step 2: Train your model

In this step you train your model. The training and test datasets are automatically configured for you. After training successfully completes, you can see the overall evaluation results, and evaluation results for individual test images. For more information, see Training an Amazon Rekognition Custom Labels model.

To train your model

  1. On the dataset page, choose the Train model. The following image shows the console with the train model button.

  5. Choose the Evaluate button to see the evaluation results. For information about evaluating a model, see Improving a trained Amazon Rekognition Custom Labels model.

  6. Choose View test results to see the results for individual test images. As seen in the following screenshot, the evaluation dashboard shows metrics such as F1 score, precision, and recall for each label along with number of test images. Overall metrics like average, precision, and recall are also displayed.
