Modifying a Training Job Configuration

Sample Code

In ModelArts notebook, you do not need to enter authentication parameters for session authentication. For details about session authentication of other development environments, see Session Authentication.

Example 1: Modify a training job parameter configuration using the data stored on OBS.

      
       
         
         
           from modelarts.session import Session
from modelarts.estimator import Estimator
session = Session()
estimator = Estimator(
                      modelarts_session=session,
                      framework_type='PyTorch',                                     # AI engine name
                      framework_version='PyTorch-1.0.0-python3.6',                  # AI engine version
                      code_dir='/bucket/src/',                                      # Training script directory
                      boot_file='/bucket/src/pytorch_sentiment.py',                 # Training boot script directory
                      log_url='/bucket/log/',                                       # Training log directory
                      hyperparameters=[
                                       {"label":"classes",
                                        "value": "10"},    
                                       {"label":"lr",
                                        "value": "0.001"}
                                       ],
                      output_path='/bucket/output/',                                 # Training output directory
                      train_instance_type='modelarts.vm.gpu.p100',                   # Training environment flavor
                      train_instance_count=1)                                        # Number of training nodes
update_info = estimator.update_job_configs(config_name='my_job_config', inputs='/bucket/dataset/', config_desc='update')

          

        

      
     

Example 2: Modify a training job parameter configuration using a dataset.

      
       
         
         
           from modelarts.session import Session
from modelarts.estimator import Estimator
session = Session()
estimator = Estimator(
                      modelarts_session=session,
                      framework_type='PyTorch',                                     # AI engine name
                      framework_version='PyTorch-1.0.0-python3.6',                  # AI engine version
                      code_dir='/bucket/src/',                                      # Training script directory
                      boot_file='/bucket/src/pytorch_sentiment.py',                 # Training boot script directory
                      log_url='/bucket/log/',                                       # Training log directory
                      hyperparameters=[
                                       {"label":"classes",
                                        "value": "10"},    
                                       {"label":"lr",
                                        "value": "0.001"}
                                       ],
                      output_path='/bucket/output/',                                 # Training output directory
                      train_instance_type='modelarts.vm.gpu.p100',                   # Training environment flavor
                      train_instance_count=1)                                        # Number of training nodes
update_info = estimator.update_job_configs(config_name='my_job_config', dataset_id='4AZNvFkN7KYr5EdhFkH', dataset_version_id='UOF9BIeSGArwVt0oI6T', config_desc='update')
