Model development and training occurs at the Experiment level, where an Experiment consists of an MLInstance, training runs, and scoring runs.

Create an Experiment create-an-experiment

You can create an Experiment by performing a POST request while providing a name and a valid MLInstance ID in the request payload.

NOTE

Unlike model training in the UI, creating an Experiment through an explicit API call does not automatically create and execute a training run.

API Format

POST /experiments

Request

curl -X POST \
    https://platform.adobe.io/data/sensei/experiments \
    -H 'Authorization: Bearer {ACCESS_TOKEN}' \
    -H 'x-api-key: {API_KEY}' \
    -H 'x-gw-ims-org-id: {ORG_ID}' \
    -H 'x-sandbox-name: {SANDBOX_NAME}' \
    -H 'content-type: application/vnd.adobe.platform.sensei+json;profile=experiment.v1.json' \
    -d '{
        "name": "a name for this Experiment",
        "mlInstanceId": "46986c8f-7739-4376-8509-0178bdf32cda"
    }'

Property

Description

name

The desired name for the Experiment. The training run corresponding to this Experiment will inherit this value to be displayed in the UI as the training run name.

mlInstanceId

A valid MLInstance ID.

Response

A successful response returns a payload containing the details of the newly created Experiment including its unique identifier (id).

{
    "id": "5cb25a2d-2cbd-4c99-a619-8ddae5250a7b",
    "name": "A name for this Experiment",
    "mlInstanceId": "46986c8f-7739-4376-8509-0178bdf32cda",
    "created": "2019-01-01T00:00:00.000Z",
    "createdBy": {
        "userId": "Jane_Doe@AdobeID"
    },
    "updated": "2019-01-01T00:00:00.000Z",
    "createdByService": false
}

Create and execute a training or scoring run experiment-training-scoring

You can create training or scoring runs by performing a POST request and providing a valid Experiment ID and specifying the run task. Scoring runs can be created only if the Experiment has an existing and successful training run. Successfully creating a training run will initialize the model training procedure and its successful completion will generate a trained model. Generating trained models will replace any previously existing ones such that an Experiment can only utilize a single trained model at any given time.

API Format

POST /experiments/{EXPERIMENT_ID}/runs

Parameter

Description

{EXPERIMENT_ID}

A valid Experiment ID.

Request

curl -X POST \
    https://platform.adobe.io/data/sensei/experiments/5cb25a2d-2cbd-4c99-a619-8ddae5250a7b/runs \
    -H 'Authorization: Bearer {ACCESS_TOKEN}' \

    -d '{
        "mode": "{TASK}"
    }'

Property

Description

{TASK}

Specifies the run’s task. Set this value as either train for training, score for scoring, or featurePipeline for feature pipeline.

Response

A successful response returns a payload containing the details of the newly created run including the inherited default training or scoring parameters, and the run’s unique ID ({RUN_ID}).

                }
            ]
        }
    ]
}

Retrieve a list of Experiments

You can retrieve a list of Experiments belonging to a particular MLInstance by performing a single GET request and providing a valid MLInstance ID as a query parameter. For a list of available queries, refer to the appendix section on query parameters for asset retrieval.

        "totalCount": 1,
        "count": 1
    }
}

Update an Experiment

You can update an existing Experiment by overwriting its properties through a PUT request that includes the target Experiment’s ID in the request path and providing a JSON payload containing updated properties.

TIP

In order to ensure the success of this PUT request, it is suggested that first you perform a GET request to retrieve the Experiment by ID. Then, modify and update the returned JSON object and apply the entirety of the modified JSON object as the payload for the PUT request.

The following sample API call updates an Experiments’s name while having these properties initially:

{
    "name": "A name for this Experiment",
    "mlInstanceId": "46986c8f-7739-4376-8509-0178bdf32cda",
    "created": "2019-01-01T00:00:00.000Z",
    "createdBy": {
        "userId": "Jane_Doe@AdobeID"
    },
    "createdByService": false
}

API Format

PUT /experiments/{EXPERIMENT_ID}

Parameter

Description

{EXPERIMENT_ID}

A valid Experiment ID.
