create-auto-ml-job-v2

Description

Creates an Autopilot job also referred to as Autopilot experiment or AutoML job V2.

An AutoML job in SageMaker is a fully automated process that allows you to build machine learning models with minimal effort and machine learning expertise. When initiating an AutoML job, you provide your data and optionally specify parameters tailored to your use case. SageMaker then automates the entire model development lifecycle, including data preprocessing, model training, tuning, and evaluation. AutoML jobs are designed to simplify and accelerate the model building process by automating various tasks and exploring different combinations of machine learning algorithms, data preprocessing techniques, and hyperparameter values. The output of an AutoML job comprises one or more trained models ready for deployment and inference. Additionally, SageMaker AutoML jobs generate a candidate model leaderboard, allowing you to select the best-performing model for deployment.

For more information about AutoML jobs, see https://docs.aws.amazon.com/sagemaker/latest/dg/autopilot-automate-model-development.html in the SageMaker developer guide.

AutoML jobs V2 support various problem types such as regression, binary, and multiclass classification with tabular data, text and image classification, time-series forecasting, and fine-tuning of large language models (LLMs) for text generation.

Note

CreateAutoMLJobV2 and DescribeAutoMLJobV2 are new versions of CreateAutoMLJob and DescribeAutoMLJob which offer backward compatibility.

CreateAutoMLJobV2 can manage tabular problem types identical to those of its previous version CreateAutoMLJob , as well as time-series forecasting, non-tabular problem types such as image or text classification, and text generation (LLMs fine-tuning).

Find guidelines about how to migrate a CreateAutoMLJob to CreateAutoMLJobV2 in Migrate a CreateAutoMLJob to CreateAutoMLJobV2 .

For the list of available problem types supported by CreateAutoMLJobV2 , see AutoMLProblemTypeConfig .

You can find the best-performing model after you run an AutoML job V2 by calling DescribeAutoMLJobV2 .

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.

Mode -> (string)

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.

SampleWeightAttributeName -> (string)

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.

The tag key. Tag keys must be unique per resource.

Value -> (string)

The tag value.

Shorthand Syntax:

Key=string,Value=string ...

JSON Syntax:

[
  {
    "Key": "string",

--auto-ml-job-objective (structure)

Specifies a metric to minimize or maximize as the objective of a job. If not specified, the default objective metric depends on the problem type. For the list of default values per problem type, see AutoMLJobObjective .

Note

  • For tabular problem types: You must either provide both the AutoMLJobObjective and indicate the type of supervised learning problem in AutoMLProblemTypeConfig (TabularJobConfig.ProblemType ), or none at all.
  • For text generation problem types (LLMs fine-tuning): Fine-tuning language models in Autopilot does not require setting the AutoMLJobObjective field. Autopilot fine-tunes LLMs without requiring multiple candidates to be trained and evaluated. Instead, using your dataset, Autopilot directly fine-tunes your target model to enhance a default objective metric, the cross-entropy loss. After fine-tuning a language model, you can evaluate the quality of its generated text using different metrics. For a list of the available metrics, see Metrics for fine-tuning LLMs in Autopilot .

MetricName -> (string)

The name of the objective metric used to measure the predictive quality of a machine learning system. During training, the model’s parameters are updated iteratively to optimize its performance based on the feedback provided by the objective metric when evaluating the model on the validation dataset.

The list of available metrics supported by Autopilot and the default metric applied when you do not specify a metric name explicitly depend on the problem type.

  • For tabular problem types:

    • List of available metrics:
      • Regression: MAE , MSE , R2 , RMSE
      • Binary classification: Accuracy , AUC , BalancedAccuracy , F1 , Precision , Recall
      • Multiclass classification: Accuracy , BalancedAccuracy , F1macro , PrecisionMacro , RecallMacro

    For a description of each metric, see Autopilot metrics for classification and regression .

    • Default objective metrics:
      • Regression: MSE .
      • Binary classification: F1 .
      • Multiclass classification: Accuracy .

  • For image or text classification problem types:

  • For time-series forecasting problem types:

  • For text generation problem types (LLMs fine-tuning): Fine-tuning language models in Autopilot does not require setting the AutoMLJobObjective field. Autopilot fine-tunes LLMs without requiring multiple candidates to be trained and evaluated. Instead, using your dataset, Autopilot directly fine-tunes your target model to enhance a default objective metric, the cross-entropy loss. After fine-tuning a language model, you can evaluate the quality of its generated text using different metrics. For a list of the available metrics, see Metrics for fine-tuning LLMs in Autopilot .

Shorthand Syntax:

  "MetricName": "Accuracy"|"MSE"|"F1"|"F1macro"|"AUC"|"RMSE"|"BalancedAccuracy"|"R2"|"Recall"|"RecallMacro"|"Precision"|"PrecisionMacro"|"MAE"|"MAPE"|"MASE"|"WAPE"|"AverageWeightedQuantileLoss"
}

--model-deploy-config (structure)

Specifies how to generate the endpoint name for an automatic one-click Autopilot model deployment.

AutoGenerateEndpointName -> (boolean)

Set to True to automatically generate an endpoint name for a one-click Autopilot model deployment; set to False otherwise. The default value is False .

Note

If you set AutoGenerateEndpointName to True , do not specify the EndpointName ; otherwise a 400 error is thrown.

EndpointName -> (string)

Specifies the endpoint name to use for a one-click Autopilot model deployment if the endpoint name is not generated automatically.

Note

Specify the EndpointName if and only if you set AutoGenerateEndpointName to False ; otherwise a 400 error is thrown.

Shorthand Syntax:

AutoGenerateEndpointName=boolean,EndpointName=string

JSON Syntax:

{
  "AutoGenerateEndpointName": true|false,
  "EndpointName": "string"
}

--data-split-config (structure)

This structure specifies how to split the data into train and validation datasets.

The validation and training datasets must contain the same headers. For jobs created by calling CreateAutoMLJob , the validation dataset must be less than 2 GB in size.

Note

This attribute must not be set for the time-series forecasting problem type, as Autopilot automatically splits the input dataset into training and validation sets.

ValidationFraction -> (float)

The validation fraction (optional) is a float that specifies the portion of the training dataset to be used for validation. The default value is 0.2, and values must be greater than 0 and less than 1. We recommend setting this value to be less than 0.5.

Shorthand Syntax:

ValidationFraction=float

JSON Syntax:

{
  "ValidationFraction": float
}

--auto-ml-compute-config (structure)

Specifies the compute configuration for the AutoML job V2.

EmrServerlessComputeConfig -> (structure)

The configuration for using EMR Serverless to run the AutoML job V2.

To allow your AutoML job V2 to automatically initiate a remote job on EMR Serverless when additional compute resources are needed to process large datasets, you need to provide an EmrServerlessComputeConfig object, which includes an ExecutionRoleARN attribute, to the AutoMLComputeConfig of the AutoML job V2 input request.

By seamlessly transitioning to EMR Serverless when required, the AutoML job can handle datasets that would otherwise exceed the initially provisioned resources, without any manual intervention from you.

EMR Serverless is available for the tabular and time series problem types. We recommend setting up this option for tabular datasets larger than 5 GB and time series datasets larger than 30 GB.

ExecutionRoleARN -> (string)

The ARN of the IAM role granting the AutoML job V2 the necessary permissions access policies to list, connect to, or manage EMR Serverless jobs. For detailed information about the required permissions of this role, see “How to configure AutoML to initiate a remote job on EMR Serverless for large datasets” in Create a regression or classification job for tabular data using the AutoML API or Create an AutoML job for time-series forecasting using the API .

Shorthand Syntax:

EmrServerlessComputeConfig={ExecutionRoleARN=string}

JSON Syntax:

{
  "EmrServerlessComputeConfig": {
    "ExecutionRoleARN": "string"
  }
}

--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. The generated JSON skeleton is not stable between versions of the AWS CLI and there are no backwards compatibility guarantees in the JSON skeleton generated.

Global Options

--debug (boolean)

Turn on debug logging.

--endpoint-url (string)

Override command’s default URL with the given URL.

--no-verify-ssl (boolean)

By default, the AWS CLI uses SSL when communicating with AWS services. For each SSL connection, the AWS CLI will verify SSL certificates. This option overrides the default behavior of verifying SSL certificates.

--no-paginate (boolean)

Disable automatic pagination. If automatic pagination is disabled, the AWS CLI will only make one call, for the first page of results.

--output (string)

The formatting style for command output.

  • json
  • text
  • table
  • yaml
  • yaml-stream

--query (string)

A JMESPath query to use in filtering the response data.

--profile (string)

Use a specific profile from your credential file.

--region (string)

The region to use. Overrides config/env settings.

--version (string)

Display the version of this tool.

--color (string)

Turn on/off color output.

  • on
  • off
  • auto

--no-sign-request (boolean)

Do not sign requests. Credentials will not be loaded if this argument is provided.

--ca-bundle (string)

The CA certificate bundle to use when verifying SSL certificates. Overrides config/env settings.

--cli-read-timeout (int)

The maximum socket read time in seconds. If the value is set to 0, the socket read will be blocking and not timeout. The default value is 60 seconds.

--cli-connect-timeout (int)

The maximum socket connect time in seconds. If the value is set to 0, the socket connect will be blocking and not timeout. The default value is 60 seconds.

--cli-binary-format (string)

The formatting style to be used for binary blobs. The default format is base64. The base64 format expects binary blobs to be provided as a base64 encoded string. The raw-in-base64-out format preserves compatibility with AWS CLI V1 behavior and binary values must be passed literally. When providing contents from a file that map to a binary blob fileb:// will always be treated as binary and use the file contents directly regardless of the cli-binary-format setting. When using file:// the file contents will need to properly formatted for the configured cli-binary-format.

  • base64
  • raw-in-base64-out

--no-cli-pager (boolean)

Disable cli pager for output.

--cli-auto-prompt (boolean)

Automatically prompt for CLI input parameters.

--no-cli-auto-prompt (boolean)

Disable automatically prompt for CLI input parameters.
