Summary

Function ultralytics.utils.callbacks.mlflow.sanitize_dict#

def sanitize_dict(x: dict) -> dict

Sanitize dictionary keys by removing parentheses and converting values to floats.

Args

NameTypeDescriptionDefault
xdictrequired
GitHubultralytics/utils/callbacks/mlflow.py
def sanitize_dict(x: dict) -> dict:
    """Sanitize dictionary keys by removing parentheses and converting values to floats."""
    return {k.replace("(", "").replace(")", ""): float(v) for k, v in x.items()}





Function ultralytics.utils.callbacks.mlflow.on_pretrain_routine_end#

def on_pretrain_routine_end(trainer)

Log training parameters to MLflow at the end of the pretraining routine.

This function sets up MLflow logging based on environment variables and trainer arguments. It sets the experiment name and run name, then starts the MLflow run if not already active. It finally logs the parameters from the trainer.

Args

NameTypeDescriptionDefault
trainerultralytics.engine.trainer.BaseTrainerThe training object with arguments and parameters to log.required
Notes

MLFLOW_TRACKING_URI: The URI for MLflow tracking. If not set, MLflow uses its own default local store. MLFLOW_EXPERIMENT_NAME: The name of the MLflow experiment. If not set, defaults to trainer.args.project, or '/Shared/Ultralytics' if no project is set. MLFLOW_RUN: The name of the MLflow run. If not set, defaults to trainer.args.name. MLFLOW_KEEP_RUN_ACTIVE: Whether to keep the MLflow run active after training ends. Truthy values are "1", "true", "yes", "on", "y", "t" (case-insensitive); anything else is False.
