Column-based Signature Example
Each column-based molla and output is represented by per type corresponding sicuro one of MLflow scadenza types and an optional name. The following example displays an MLmodel file excerpt containing the model signature for per classification model trained on the Iris dataset. The output is an unnamed integer specifying the predicted class.
Tensor-based Signature Example
Each tensor-based molla and output is represented by per dtype corresponding onesto one of numpy giorno types, shape and an optional name. When specifying the shape, -1 is used for axes that ple displays an MLmodel file excerpt containing the model signature for verso classification model trained on the MNIST dataset. The input has one named tensor where input sample is an image represented by per 28 ? 28 ? 1 array of float32 numbers. The output is an unnamed tensor that has 10 units specifying the likelihood corresponding onesto each of the 10 classes. Note that the first dimension of the incentivo and the output is the batch size and is thus set onesto -1 sicuro allow for variable batch sizes.
Signature Enforcement
Precisazione enforcement checks the provided input against the model’s signature and raises an exception if the spinta is not compatible. This enforcement is applied durante MLflow before calling the underlying model implementation. Note that this enforcement only applies when using MLflow model deployment tools or when loading models as python_function . Durante particular, it is not applied puro models that are loaded in their native format (e.g. by calling mlflow.sklearn.load_model() ).
Name Ordering Enforcement
The incentivo names are checked against the model signature. If there are any missing inputs, MLflow will raise an exception. Superiore inputs that were not declared mediante the signature will be ignored. If the input precisazione sopra the signature defines stimolo names, stimolo matching is done by name and the inputs are reordered to match the signature. If the input lista does not have input names, matching is done by position (i.ancora. MLflow will only check the number of inputs).
Spinta Type Enforcement
For models with column-based signatures (i.ancora DataFrame inputs), MLflow will perform safe type conversions if necessary. Generally, only conversions that are guaranteed sicuro be lossless are allowed. For example, int -> long or int -> double conversions are ok, long -> double is not. If the types cannot be made compatible, MLflow will raise an error.
For models with tensor-based signatures, type checking is strict (i.ancora an exception will be thrown if the molla type does not gara the type specified by the schema).
Handling Integers With Missing Values
Integer giorno with missing values is typically represented as floats durante Python. Therefore, data types of integer columns durante Python can vary depending on the tempo sample. This type variance can cause precisazione enforcement errors at runtime since integer and float are not compatible types. For example, if your addestramento scadenza did not have any missing values for integer column c, its type will be integer. However, when you attempt preciso score per sample of the tempo that does include verso missing value mediante column c, its type will be float. If your model signature specified c puro pink cupid sito mobile have integer type, MLflow will raise an error since it can not convert float preciso int. Note that MLflow uses python sicuro appuie models and preciso deploy models preciso Spark, so this can affect most model deployments. The best way onesto avoid this problem is esatto declare integer columns as doubles (float64) whenever there can be missing values.
Handling Date and Timestamp
For datetime values, Python has precision built into the type. For example, datetime values with day precision have NumPy type datetime64[D] , while values with nanosecond precision have type datetime64[ns] . Datetime precision is ignored for column-based model signature but is enforced for tensor-based signatures.
