TrainingImage -> (string)

The Amazon ECR registry path of the Docker image that contains the training algorithm.

TrainingImageDigest -> (string)

An MD5 hash of the training algorithm that identifies the Docker image used for training.

Defines a hyperparameter to be used by an algorithm.

Name -> (string)

The name of this hyperparameter. The name must be unique.

Description -> (string)

A brief description of the hyperparameter.

The default value for this hyperparameter. If a default value is specified, a hyperparameter cannot be required.

SupportedTrainingInstanceTypes -> (list)

A list of the instance types that this algorithm can use for training.

(string)

SupportsDistributedTraining -> (boolean)

Indicates whether the algorithm supports distributed training. If set to false, buyers can’t request more than one instance during training.

MetricDefinitions -> (list)

A list of MetricDefinition objects, which are used for parsing metrics generated by the algorithm.

(structure)

Specifies a metric that the training algorithm writes to stderr or stdout . Amazon SageMakerhyperparameter tuning captures all defined metrics. You specify one metric that a hyperparameter tuning job uses as its objective metric to choose the best training job.

Name -> (string)

The name of the metric.

Regex -> (string)

A regular expression that searches the output of a training job and gets the value of the metric. For more information about using regular expressions to define metrics, see Defining Objective Metrics .

TrainingChannels -> (list)

A list of ChannelSpecification objects, which specify the input sources to be used by the algorithm.

(structure)

Defines a named input source, called a channel, to be used by an algorithm.

Name -> (string)

The name of the channel.

Description -> (string)

A brief description of the channel.

IsRequired -> (boolean)

Indicates whether the channel is required by the algorithm.

SupportedContentTypes -> (list)

The supported MIME types for the data.

(string)

SupportedCompressionTypes -> (list)

The allowed compression types, if data compression is used.

(string)

SupportedInputModes -> (list)

The allowed input mode, either FILE or PIPE.

In FILE mode, Amazon SageMaker copies the data from the input source onto the local Amazon Elastic Block Store (Amazon EBS) volumes before starting your training algorithm. This is the most commonly used input mode.

In PIPE mode, Amazon SageMaker streams input data from the source directly to your algorithm without using the EBS volume.

(string)

The training input mode that the algorithm supports. For more information about input modes, see Algorithms .

Pipe mode

If an algorithm supports Pipe mode, Amazon SageMaker streams data directly from Amazon S3 to the container.

File mode

If an algorithm supports File mode, SageMaker downloads the training data from S3 to the provisioned ML storage volume, and mounts the directory to the Docker volume for the training container.

You must provision the ML storage volume with sufficient capacity to accommodate the data downloaded from S3. In addition to the training data, the ML storage volume also stores the output model. The algorithm container uses the ML storage volume to also store intermediate information, if any.

For distributed algorithms, training data is distributed uniformly. Your training duration is predictable if the input data objects sizes are approximately the same. SageMaker does not split the files any further for model training. If the object sizes are skewed, training won’t be optimal as the data distribution is also skewed when one host in a training cluster is overloaded, thus becoming a bottleneck in training.

FastFile mode

If an algorithm supports FastFile mode, SageMaker streams data directly from S3 to the container with no code changes, and provides file system access to the data. Users can author their training script to interact with these files as if they were stored on disk.

FastFile mode works best when the data is read sequentially. Augmented manifest files aren’t supported. The startup time is lower when there are fewer files in the S3 bucket provided.

SupportedTuningJobObjectiveMetrics -> (list)

A list of the metrics that the algorithm emits that can be used as the objective metric in a hyperparameter tuning job.

(structure)

Defines the objective metric for a hyperparameter tuning job. Hyperparameter tuning uses the value of this metric to evaluate the training jobs it launches, and returns the training job that results in either the highest or lowest value for this metric, depending on the value you specify for the Type parameter.

Type -> (string)

Whether to minimize or maximize the objective metric.

MetricName -> (string)

The name of the metric to use for the objective metric.

}

--validation-specification (structure)

Specifies configurations for one or more training jobs and that Amazon SageMaker runs to test the algorithm’s training code and, optionally, one or more batch transform jobs that Amazon SageMaker runs to test the algorithm’s inference code.

ValidationRole -> (string)

The IAM roles that Amazon SageMaker uses to run the training jobs.

ValidationProfiles -> (list)

An array of AlgorithmValidationProfile objects, each of which specifies a training job and batch transform job that Amazon SageMaker runs to validate your algorithm.

(structure)

Defines a training job and a batch transform job that Amazon SageMaker runs to validate your algorithm.

The data provided in the validation profile is made available to your buyers on Amazon Web Services Marketplace.

ProfileName -> (string)

The name of the profile for the algorithm. The name must have 1 to 63 characters. Valid characters are a-z, A-Z, 0-9, and - (hyphen).

TrainingJobDefinition -> (structure)

The TrainingJobDefinition object that describes the training job that Amazon SageMaker runs to validate your algorithm.

TrainingInputMode -> (string)

The training input mode that the algorithm supports. For more information about input modes, see Algorithms .

Pipe mode

If an algorithm supports Pipe mode, Amazon SageMaker streams data directly from Amazon S3 to the container.

File mode

If an algorithm supports File mode, SageMaker downloads the training data from S3 to the provisioned ML storage volume, and mounts the directory to the Docker volume for the training container.

You must provision the ML storage volume with sufficient capacity to accommodate the data downloaded from S3. In addition to the training data, the ML storage volume also stores the output model. The algorithm container uses the ML storage volume to also store intermediate information, if any.

For distributed algorithms, training data is distributed uniformly. Your training duration is predictable if the input data objects sizes are approximately the same. SageMaker does not split the files any further for model training. If the object sizes are skewed, training won’t be optimal as the data distribution is also skewed when one host in a training cluster is overloaded, thus becoming a bottleneck in training.

FastFile mode

If an algorithm supports FastFile mode, SageMaker streams data directly from S3 to the container with no code changes, and provides file system access to the data. Users can author their training script to interact with these files as if they were stored on disk.

FastFile mode works best when the data is read sequentially. Augmented manifest files aren’t supported. The startup time is lower when there are fewer files in the S3 bucket provided.

HyperParameters -> (map)

The hyperparameters used for the training job.

key -> (string)

value -> (string)

InputDataConfig -> (list)

An array of Channel objects, each of which specifies an input source.

(structure)

A channel is a named input source that training algorithms can consume.

ChannelName -> (string)

The name of the channel.

DataSource -> (structure)

The location of the channel data.

S3DataSource -> (structure)

The S3 location of the data source that is associated with a channel.

S3DataType -> (string)

If you choose S3Prefix , S3Uri identifies a key name prefix. Amazon SageMaker uses all objects that match the specified key name prefix for model training.

If you choose ManifestFile , S3Uri identifies an object that is a manifest file containing a list of object keys that you want Amazon SageMaker to use for model training.

If you choose AugmentedManifestFile , S3Uri identifies an object that is an augmented manifest file in JSON lines format. This file contains the data you want to use for model training. AugmentedManifestFile can only be used if the Channel’s input mode is Pipe .

S3Uri -> (string)

Depending on the value specified for the S3DataType , identifies either a key name prefix or a manifest. For example:

  • A key name prefix might look like this: s3://bucketname/exampleprefix

  • A manifest might look like this: s3://bucketname/example.manifest A manifest is an S3 object which is a JSON file consisting of an array of elements. The first element is a prefix which is followed by one or more suffixes. SageMaker appends the suffix elements to the prefix to get a full set of S3Uri . Note that the prefix must be a valid non-empty S3Uri that precludes users from specifying a manifest whose individual S3Uri is sourced from different S3 buckets. The following code example shows a valid manifest format: [ {"prefix": "s3://customer_bucket/some/prefix/"}, "relative/path/to/custdata-1", "relative/path/custdata-2", ... "relative/path/custdata-N" ] This JSON is equivalent to the following S3Uri list: s3://customer_bucket/some/prefix/relative/path/to/custdata-1 s3://customer_bucket/some/prefix/relative/path/custdata-2 ... s3://customer_bucket/some/prefix/relative/path/custdata-N The complete set of S3Uri in this manifest is the input data for the channel for this data source. The object that each S3Uri points to must be readable by the IAM role that Amazon SageMaker uses to perform tasks on your behalf.

S3DataDistributionType -> (string)

If you want Amazon SageMaker to replicate the entire dataset on each ML compute instance that is launched for model training, specify FullyReplicated .

If you want Amazon SageMaker to replicate a subset of data on each ML compute instance that is launched for model training, specify ShardedByS3Key . If there are n ML compute instances launched for a training job, each instance gets approximately 1/n of the number of S3 objects. In this case, model training on each machine uses only the subset of training data.

Don’t choose more ML compute instances for training than available S3 objects. If you do, some nodes won’t get any data and you will pay for nodes that aren’t getting any training data. This applies in both File and Pipe modes. Keep this in mind when developing algorithms.

In distributed training, where you use multiple ML compute EC2 instances, you might choose ShardedByS3Key . If the algorithm requires copying training data to the ML storage volume (when TrainingInputMode is set to File ), this copies 1/n of the number of objects.

AttributeNames -> (list)

A list of one or more attribute names to use that are found in a specified augmented manifest file.

(string)

FileSystemDataSource -> (structure)

The file system that is associated with a channel.

FileSystemId -> (string)

The file system id.

FileSystemAccessMode -> (string)

The access mode of the mount of the directory associated with the channel. A directory can be mounted either in ro (read-only) or rw (read-write) mode.

FileSystemType -> (string)

The file system type.

DirectoryPath -> (string)

The full path to the directory to associate with the channel.

ContentType -> (string)

The MIME type of the data.

CompressionType -> (string)

If training data is compressed, the compression type. The default value is None . CompressionType is used only in Pipe input mode. In File mode, leave this field unset or set it to None.

RecordWrapperType -> (string)

Specify RecordIO as the value when input data is in raw format but the training algorithm requires the RecordIO format. In this case, Amazon SageMaker wraps each individual S3 object in a RecordIO record. If the input data is already in RecordIO format, you don’t need to set this attribute. For more information, see Create a Dataset Using RecordIO .

In File mode, leave this field unset or set it to None.

InputMode -> (string)

(Optional) The input mode to use for the data channel in a training job. If you don’t set a value for InputMode , Amazon SageMaker uses the value set for TrainingInputMode . Use this parameter to override the TrainingInputMode setting in a AlgorithmSpecification request when you have a channel that needs a different input mode from the training job’s general setting. To download the data from Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3) to the provisioned ML storage volume, and mount the directory to a Docker volume, use File input mode. To stream data directly from Amazon S3 to the container, choose Pipe input mode.

To use a model for incremental training, choose File input model.

ShuffleConfig -> (structure)

A configuration for a shuffle option for input data in a channel. If you use S3Prefix for S3DataType , this shuffles the results of the S3 key prefix matches. If you use ManifestFile , the order of the S3 object references in the ManifestFile is shuffled. If you use AugmentedManifestFile , the order of the JSON lines in the AugmentedManifestFile is shuffled. The shuffling order is determined using the Seed value.

For Pipe input mode, shuffling is done at the start of every epoch. With large datasets this ensures that the order of the training data is different for each epoch, it helps reduce bias and possible overfitting. In a multi-node training job when ShuffleConfig is combined with S3DataDistributionType of ShardedByS3Key , the data is shuffled across nodes so that the content sent to a particular node on the first epoch might be sent to a different node on the second epoch.

Seed -> (long)

Determines the shuffling order in ShuffleConfig value.

OutputDataConfig -> (structure)

the path to the S3 bucket where you want to store model artifacts. Amazon SageMaker creates subfolders for the artifacts.

KmsKeyId -> (string)

The Amazon Web Services Key Management Service (Amazon Web Services KMS) key that Amazon SageMaker uses to encrypt the model artifacts at rest using Amazon S3 server-side encryption. The KmsKeyId can be any of the following formats:

  • // KMS Key ID "1234abcd-12ab-34cd-56ef-1234567890ab"

  • // Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of a KMS Key "arn:aws:kms:us-west-2:111122223333:key/1234abcd-12ab-34cd-56ef-1234567890ab"

  • // KMS Key Alias "alias/ExampleAlias"

  • // Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of a KMS Key Alias "arn:aws:kms:us-west-2:111122223333:alias/ExampleAlias"

If you use a KMS key ID or an alias of your KMS key, the Amazon SageMaker execution role must include permissions to call kms:Encrypt . If you don’t provide a KMS key ID, Amazon SageMaker uses the default KMS key for Amazon S3 for your role’s account. Amazon SageMaker uses server-side encryption with KMS-managed keys for OutputDataConfig . If you use a bucket policy with an s3:PutObject permission that only allows objects with server-side encryption, set the condition key of s3:x-amz-server-side-encryption to "aws:kms" . For more information, see KMS-Managed Encryption Keys in the Amazon Simple Storage Service Developer Guide.

The KMS key policy must grant permission to the IAM role that you specify in your CreateTrainingJob , CreateTransformJob , or CreateHyperParameterTuningJob requests. For more information, see Using Key Policies in Amazon Web Services KMS in the Amazon Web Services Key Management Service Developer Guide .

S3OutputPath -> (string)

Identifies the S3 path where you want Amazon SageMaker to store the model artifacts. For example, s3://bucket-name/key-name-prefix .

ResourceConfig -> (structure)

The resources, including the ML compute instances and ML storage volumes, to use for model training.

InstanceType -> (string)

The ML compute instance type.

InstanceCount -> (integer)

The number of ML compute instances to use. For distributed training, provide a value greater than 1.

VolumeSizeInGB -> (integer)

The size of the ML storage volume that you want to provision.

ML storage volumes store model artifacts and incremental states. Training algorithms might also use the ML storage volume for scratch space. If you want to store the training data in the ML storage volume, choose File as the TrainingInputMode in the algorithm specification.

You must specify sufficient ML storage for your scenario.

Note

Amazon SageMaker supports only the General Purpose SSD (gp2) ML storage volume type.

Note

Certain Nitro-based instances include local storage with a fixed total size, dependent on the instance type. When using these instances for training, Amazon SageMaker mounts the local instance storage instead of Amazon EBS gp2 storage. You can’t request a VolumeSizeInGB greater than the total size of the local instance storage.

For a list of instance types that support local instance storage, including the total size per instance type, see Instance Store Volumes .

VolumeKmsKeyId -> (string)

The Amazon Web Services KMS key that Amazon SageMaker uses to encrypt data on the storage volume attached to the ML compute instance(s) that run the training job.

Note

Certain Nitro-based instances include local storage, dependent on the instance type. Local storage volumes are encrypted using a hardware module on the instance. You can’t request a VolumeKmsKeyId when using an instance type with local storage.

For a list of instance types that support local instance storage, see Instance Store Volumes .

For more information about local instance storage encryption, see SSD Instance Store Volumes .

The VolumeKmsKeyId can be in any of the following formats:

  • // KMS Key ID "1234abcd-12ab-34cd-56ef-1234567890ab"

  • // Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of a KMS Key "arn:aws:kms:us-west-2:111122223333:key/1234abcd-12ab-34cd-56ef-1234567890ab"

StoppingCondition -> (structure)

Specifies a limit to how long a model training job can run. It also specifies how long a managed Spot training job has to complete. When the job reaches the time limit, Amazon SageMaker ends the training job. Use this API to cap model training costs.

To stop a job, Amazon SageMaker sends the algorithm the SIGTERM signal, which delays job termination for 120 seconds. Algorithms can use this 120-second window to save the model artifacts.

MaxRuntimeInSeconds -> (integer)

The maximum length of time, in seconds, that a training or compilation job can run.

For compilation jobs, if the job does not complete during this time, you will receive a TimeOut error. We recommend starting with 900 seconds and increase as necessary based on your model.

For all other jobs, if the job does not complete during this time, Amazon SageMaker ends the job. When RetryStrategy is specified in the job request, MaxRuntimeInSeconds specifies the maximum time for all of the attempts in total, not each individual attempt. The default value is 1 day. The maximum value is 28 days.

MaxWaitTimeInSeconds -> (integer)

The maximum length of time, in seconds, that a managed Spot training job has to complete. It is the amount of time spent waiting for Spot capacity plus the amount of time the job can run. It must be equal to or greater than MaxRuntimeInSeconds . If the job does not complete during this time, Amazon SageMaker ends the job.

When RetryStrategy is specified in the job request, MaxWaitTimeInSeconds specifies the maximum time for all of the attempts in total, not each individual attempt.

TransformJobDefinition -> (structure)

The TransformJobDefinition object that describes the transform job that Amazon SageMaker runs to validate your algorithm.

MaxConcurrentTransforms -> (integer)

The maximum number of parallel requests that can be sent to each instance in a transform job. The default value is 1.

MaxPayloadInMB -> (integer)

The maximum payload size allowed, in MB. A payload is the data portion of a record (without metadata).

BatchStrategy -> (string)

A string that determines the number of records included in a single mini-batch.

SingleRecord means only one record is used per mini-batch. MultiRecord means a mini-batch is set to contain as many records that can fit within the MaxPayloadInMB limit.

Environment -> (map)

The environment variables to set in the Docker container. We support up to 16 key and values entries in the map.

key -> (string)

value -> (string)

TransformInput -> (structure)

A description of the input source and the way the transform job consumes it.

DataSource -> (structure)

Describes the location of the channel data, which is, the S3 location of the input data that the model can consume.

S3DataSource -> (structure)

The S3 location of the data source that is associated with a channel.

S3DataType -> (string)

If you choose S3Prefix , S3Uri identifies a key name prefix. Amazon SageMaker uses all objects with the specified key name prefix for batch transform.

If you choose ManifestFile , S3Uri identifies an object that is a manifest file containing a list of object keys that you want Amazon SageMaker to use for batch transform.

The following values are compatible: ManifestFile , S3Prefix

The following value is not compatible: AugmentedManifestFile

S3Uri -> (string)

Depending on the value specified for the S3DataType , identifies either a key name prefix or a manifest. For example:

  • A key name prefix might look like this: s3://bucketname/exampleprefix .

  • A manifest might look like this: s3://bucketname/example.manifest The manifest is an S3 object which is a JSON file with the following format: [ {"prefix": "s3://customer_bucket/some/prefix/"}, "relative/path/to/custdata-1", "relative/path/custdata-2", ... "relative/path/custdata-N" ] The preceding JSON matches the following S3Uris : s3://customer_bucket/some/prefix/relative/path/to/custdata-1 s3://customer_bucket/some/prefix/relative/path/custdata-2 ... s3://customer_bucket/some/prefix/relative/path/custdata-N The complete set of S3Uris in this manifest constitutes the input data for the channel for this datasource. The object that each S3Uris points to must be readable by the IAM role that Amazon SageMaker uses to perform tasks on your behalf.

ContentType -> (string)

The multipurpose internet mail extension (MIME) type of the data. Amazon SageMaker uses the MIME type with each http call to transfer data to the transform job.

CompressionType -> (string)

If your transform data is compressed, specify the compression type. Amazon SageMaker automatically decompresses the data for the transform job accordingly. The default value is None .

SplitType -> (string)

The method to use to split the transform job’s data files into smaller batches. Splitting is necessary when the total size of each object is too large to fit in a single request. You can also use data splitting to improve performance by processing multiple concurrent mini-batches. The default value for SplitType is None , which indicates that input data files are not split, and request payloads contain the entire contents of an input object. Set the value of this parameter to Line to split records on a newline character boundary. SplitType also supports a number of record-oriented binary data formats. Currently, the supported record formats are:

  • RecordIO

  • TFRecord

When splitting is enabled, the size of a mini-batch depends on the values of the BatchStrategy and MaxPayloadInMB parameters. When the value of BatchStrategy is MultiRecord , Amazon SageMaker sends the maximum number of records in each request, up to the MaxPayloadInMB limit. If the value of BatchStrategy is SingleRecord , Amazon SageMaker sends individual records in each request.

Note

Some data formats represent a record as a binary payload wrapped with extra padding bytes. When splitting is applied to a binary data format, padding is removed if the value of BatchStrategy is set to SingleRecord . Padding is not removed if the value of BatchStrategy is set to MultiRecord .

For more information about RecordIO , see Create a Dataset Using RecordIO in the MXNet documentation. For more information about TFRecord , see Consuming TFRecord data in the TensorFlow documentation.

TransformOutput -> (structure)

Identifies the Amazon S3 location where you want Amazon SageMaker to save the results from the transform job.

S3OutputPath -> (string)

The Amazon S3 path where you want Amazon SageMaker to store the results of the transform job. For example, s3://bucket-name/key-name-prefix .

For every S3 object used as input for the transform job, batch transform stores the transformed data with an .``out`` suffix in a corresponding subfolder in the location in the output prefix. For example, for the input data stored at s3://bucket-name/input-name-prefix/dataset01/data.csv , batch transform stores the transformed data at s3://bucket-name/output-name-prefix/input-name-prefix/data.csv.out . Batch transform doesn’t upload partially processed objects. For an input S3 object that contains multiple records, it creates an .``out`` file only if the transform job succeeds on the entire file. When the input contains multiple S3 objects, the batch transform job processes the listed S3 objects and uploads only the output for successfully processed objects. If any object fails in the transform job batch transform marks the job as failed to prompt investigation.

Accept -> (string)

The MIME type used to specify the output data. Amazon SageMaker uses the MIME type with each http call to transfer data from the transform job.

AssembleWith -> (string)

Defines how to assemble the results of the transform job as a single S3 object. Choose a format that is most convenient to you. To concatenate the results in binary format, specify None . To add a newline character at the end of every transformed record, specify Line .

KmsKeyId -> (string)

The Amazon Web Services Key Management Service (Amazon Web Services KMS) key that Amazon SageMaker uses to encrypt the model artifacts at rest using Amazon S3 server-side encryption. The KmsKeyId can be any of the following formats:

  • Key ID: 1234abcd-12ab-34cd-56ef-1234567890ab

  • Key ARN: arn:aws:kms:us-west-2:111122223333:key/1234abcd-12ab-34cd-56ef-1234567890ab

  • Alias name: alias/ExampleAlias

  • Alias name ARN: arn:aws:kms:us-west-2:111122223333:alias/ExampleAlias

If you don’t provide a KMS key ID, Amazon SageMaker uses the default KMS key for Amazon S3 for your role’s account. For more information, see KMS-Managed Encryption Keys in the Amazon Simple Storage Service Developer Guide.

The KMS key policy must grant permission to the IAM role that you specify in your CreateModel request. For more information, see Using Key Policies in Amazon Web Services KMS in the Amazon Web Services Key Management Service Developer Guide .

TransformResources -> (structure)

Identifies the ML compute instances for the transform job.

InstanceType -> (string)

The ML compute instance type for the transform job. If you are using built-in algorithms to transform moderately sized datasets, we recommend using ml.m4.xlarge or ml.m5.large instance types.

InstanceCount -> (integer)

The number of ML compute instances to use in the transform job. For distributed transform jobs, specify a value greater than 1. The default value is 1 .

VolumeKmsKeyId -> (string)

The Amazon Web Services Key Management Service (Amazon Web Services KMS) key that Amazon SageMaker uses to encrypt model data on the storage volume attached to the ML compute instance(s) that run the batch transform job.

Note

Certain Nitro-based instances include local storage, dependent on the instance type. Local storage volumes are encrypted using a hardware module on the instance. You can’t request a VolumeKmsKeyId when using an instance type with local storage.

For a list of instance types that support local instance storage, see Instance Store Volumes .

For more information about local instance storage encryption, see SSD Instance Store Volumes .

The VolumeKmsKeyId can be any of the following formats:

  • Key ID: 1234abcd-12ab-34cd-56ef-1234567890ab

  • Key ARN: arn:aws:kms:us-west-2:111122223333:key/1234abcd-12ab-34cd-56ef-1234567890ab

  • Alias name: alias/ExampleAlias

  • Alias name ARN: arn:aws:kms:us-west-2:111122223333:alias/ExampleAlias

--cli-input-json | --cli-input-yaml (string) Reads arguments from the JSON string provided. The JSON string follows the format provided by --generate-cli-skeleton. If other arguments are provided on the command line, those values will override the JSON-provided values. It is not possible to pass arbitrary binary values using a JSON-provided value as the string will be taken literally. This may not be specified along with --cli-input-yaml.

--generate-cli-skeleton (string) Prints a JSON skeleton to standard output without sending an API request. If provided with no value or the value input, prints a sample input JSON that can be used as an argument for --cli-input-json. Similarly, if provided yaml-input it will print a sample input YAML that can be used with --cli-input-yaml. If provided with the value output, it validates the command inputs and returns a sample output JSON for that command.

See ‘aws help’ for descriptions of global parameters.
