AutoMLRun Class

Represents an automated ML experiment run in Azure Machine Learning.

The AutoMLRun class can be used to manage a run, check run status, and retrieve run details once an AutoML run is submitted. For more information on working with experiment runs, see the Run class.

Initialize an AutoML run.

Inheritance
AutoMLRun

Constructor

AutoMLRun(experiment, run_id, **kwargs)

Parameters

experiment
Experiment
Required

The experiment associated with the run.

run_id
str
Required

The ID of the run.

experiment

Required

The experiment associated with the run.

Remarks

An AutoMLRun object is returned when you use the submit method of an experiment.

To retrieve a run that has already started, use the following code:


   from azureml.train.automl.run import AutoMLRun
   ws = Workspace.from_config()
   experiment = ws.experiments['my-experiment-name']
   automl_run = AutoMLRun(experiment, run_id = 'AutoML_9fe201fe-89fd-41cc-905f-2f41a5a98883')

Methods

Cancel an AutoML run.

Return True if the AutoML run was canceled successfully.

cancel_iteration

Cancel a particular child run.
