TabularJobConfig - Amazon SageMaker

TabularJobConfig

The collection of settings used by an AutoML job V2 for the tabular problem type.

Contents

TargetAttributeName

The name of the target variable in supervised learning, usually represented by 'y'.

Type: String

Length Constraints: Minimum length of 1.

Required: Yes

CandidateGenerationConfig

The configuration information of how model candidates are generated.

Type: CandidateGenerationConfig object

Required: No

CompletionCriteria

How long a job is allowed to run, or how many candidates a job is allowed to generate.

Type: AutoMLJobCompletionCriteria object

Required: No

FeatureSpecificationS3Uri

A URL to the Amazon S3 data source containing selected features from the input data source to run an Autopilot job V2. You can input FeatureAttributeNames (optional) in JSON format as shown below:

{ "FeatureAttributeNames":["col1", "col2", ...] }.

You can also specify the data type of the feature (optional) in the format shown below:

{ "FeatureDataTypes":{"col1":"numeric", "col2":"categorical" ... } }

Note

These column keys may not include the target column.

In ensembling mode, Autopilot only supports the following data types: numeric, categorical, text, and datetime. In HPO mode, Autopilot can support numeric, categorical, text, datetime, and sequence.

If only FeatureDataTypes is provided, the column keys (col1, col2,..) should be a subset of the column names in the input data.

If both FeatureDataTypes and FeatureAttributeNames are provided, then the column keys should be a subset of the column names provided in FeatureAttributeNames.

The key name FeatureAttributeNames is fixed. The values listed in ["col1", "col2", ...] are case sensitive and should be a list of strings containing unique values that are a subset of the column names in the input data. The list of columns provided must not include the target column.

Type: String

Length Constraints: Maximum length of 1024.

Pattern: ^(https|s3)://([^/]+)/?(.*)$

Required: No

GenerateCandidateDefinitionsOnly

Generates possible candidates without training the models. A model candidate is a combination of data preprocessors, algorithms, and algorithm parameter settings.

Type: Boolean

Required: No

Mode

The method that Autopilot uses to train the data. You can either specify the mode manually or let Autopilot choose for you based on the dataset size by selecting AUTO. In AUTO mode, Autopilot chooses ENSEMBLING for datasets smaller than 100 MB, and HYPERPARAMETER_TUNING for larger ones.

The ENSEMBLING mode uses a multi-stack ensemble model to predict classification and regression tasks directly from your dataset. This machine learning mode combines several base models to produce an optimal predictive model. It then uses a stacking ensemble method to combine predictions from contributing members. A multi-stack ensemble model can provide better performance over a single model by combining the predictive capabilities of multiple models. See Autopilot algorithm support for a list of algorithms supported by ENSEMBLING mode.

The HYPERPARAMETER_TUNING (HPO) mode uses the best hyperparameters to train the best version of a model. HPO automatically selects an algorithm for the type of problem you want to solve. Then HPO finds the best hyperparameters according to your objective metric. See Autopilot algorithm support for a list of algorithms supported by HYPERPARAMETER_TUNING mode.

Type: String

Valid Values: AUTO | ENSEMBLING | HYPERPARAMETER_TUNING

Required: No

ProblemType

The type of supervised learning problem available for the model candidates of the AutoML job V2. For more information, see SageMaker Autopilot problem types.

Note

You must either specify the type of supervised learning problem in ProblemType and provide the AutoMLJobObjective metric, or none at all.

Type: String

Valid Values: BinaryClassification | MulticlassClassification | Regression

Required: No

SampleWeightAttributeName

If specified, this column name indicates which column of the dataset should be treated as sample weights for use by the objective metric during the training, evaluation, and the selection of the best model. This column is not considered as a predictive feature. For more information on Autopilot metrics, see Metrics and validation.

Sample weights should be numeric, non-negative, with larger values indicating which rows are more important than others. Data points that have invalid or no weight value are excluded.

Support for sample weights is available in Ensembling mode only.

Type: String

Length Constraints: Minimum length of 1. Maximum length of 256.

Pattern: ^[a-zA-Z0-9_-]+$

Required: No
