Simon Zamarin, et al, walk us through using XGBoost reports in Amazon’s Sagemaker Debugger:
In 2019, AWS unveiled Amazon SageMaker Debugger, a SageMaker capability that enables you to automatically detect a variety of issues that may arise while a model is being trained. SageMaker Debugger captures model state data at specified intervals during a training job. With this data, SageMaker Debugger can detect training issues or anomalies by leveraging built-in or user-defined rules. In addition to detecting issues during the training job, you can analyze the captured state data afterwards to evaluate model performance and identify areas for improvement. This task is made easier with the newly launched XGBoost training report feature. With a minimal amount of code changes, SageMaker Debugger generates a comprehensive report outlining key information that you can use to evaluate and improve the model.
This post shows you an end-to-end example of training an XGBoost model on Sagemaker and how to enable the automatic XGBoost report functionality in Sagemaker Debugger to quickly and easily evaluate model performance and identify areas of improvement for your model. Even if you don’t have a lot of data science experience, you can still gauge how well the model performs and identify areas of improvement based on information provided by the report. The code from this post is available in the GitHub repo.
