Experiment

Description¶

A comet experiment object can be used to modify or get information about an active experiment. All methods documented here are the different ways to interact with an experiment. Use create_experiment() to create or get_experiment() to retrieve a Comet experiment object.

Examples¶

library(cometr)
# Assuming you have COMET_API_KEY, COMET_WORKSPACE, COMET_PROJECT_NAME variables define
exp <- create_experiment()
exp$get_key()
exp$get_metadata()
exp$add_tags(c("test", "tag2"))
exp$get_tags()
exp$log_metric("metric1", 5)
exp$get_metric("metric1")
exp$get_metrics_summary()
exp$stop()



## ------------------------------------------------
## Method `Experiment$get_artifact`
## ------------------------------------------------


library(cometr)
# Assuming you have COMET_API_KEY, COMET_WORKSPACE, COMET_PROJECT_NAME variables define
exp <- create_experiment()

# Get a Comet Artifact
logged_artifact <- exp$get_artifact("workspace/artifact-name:version_or_alias")

# Which is equivalent to
logged_artifact = exp$get_artifact(artifact_name="artifact-name",
                                   workspace="workspace",
                                   version_or_alias="version_or_alias")

Methods¶

Public Methods¶

Method new()¶

Do not call this function directly. Use create_experiment() or get_experiment() instead.

Usage

Experiment$new(
  experiment_key,
  experiment_url = NULL,
  api_key = NULL,
  keep_active = FALSE,
  log_output = FALSE,
  log_error = FALSE,
  dynamic = TRUE,
  workspace_name = NULL,
  project_name = NULL
)

Arguments:

  • experiment_key The key of the Experiment.
  • experiment_url The URL of the Experiment.
  • api_key Comet API key (can also be specified using the COMET_API_KEY parameter as an environment variable or in a comet config file).
  • keep_active If TRUE, automatically send Comet a status update every few seconds until the experiment is stopped to mark the experiment as active on the Comet web dashboard.
  • log_output If TRUE, all standard output will automatically be sent to the Comet servers to display as message logs for the experiment. The output will still be shown in the console as well.
  • log_error If TRUE, all output from 'stderr' (which includes errors, warnings, and messages) will be redirected to the Comet servers to display as message logs for the experiment. Note that unlike auto_log_output, if this option is on then these messages will not be shown in the console and instead they will only be logged to the Comet experiment. This option is set to FALSE by default because of this behavior.
  • dynamic If TRUE the Experiment was created rather than retrieved.
  • workspace_name The workspace name (can also be specified using the COMET_WORKSPACE parameter as an environment variable or in a comet config file).
  • project_name The project name (can also be specified using the COMET_PROJECT_NAME parameter as an environment variable or in a comet config file).

  • metadata Metadata to upload along with the file.

Method log_remote_asset()¶

Logs a Remote Asset identified by an URI. A Remote Asset is an asset but its content is not uploaded and stored on Comet. Rather a link for its location is stored, so you can identify and distinguish between two experiment using different version of a dataset stored somewhere else.
