Experiments endpoint

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

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.

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"
    }'

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

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

Request

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

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

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}).

                }
            ]
