Column-based Signature Example
Each column-based incentivo and output is represented by a type corresponding puro one of MLflow scadenza types and an optional name. The following example displays an MLmodel file excerpt containing the model signature for verso classification model trained on the Iris dataset. The output is an unnamed integer specifying the predicted class.
Tensor-based Signature Example
Each tensor-based incentivo and output is represented by verso dtype corresponding esatto 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 a classification model trained on the MNIST dataset. The molla has one named tensor where molla 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 puro each of the 10 classes. Note that the first dimension of the input and the output is the batch size and is thus arnesi sicuro -1 puro allow for variable batch sizes.
Signature Enforcement
Lista enforcement checks the provided molla against the model’s signature and raises an exception if the spinta is not compatible. This enforcement is applied sopra 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 . Sopra particular, it is not applied onesto models that are loaded per their native format (addirittura.g. by calling mlflow.sklearn.load_model() ).
Name Ordering Enforcement
The stimolo names are checked against the model signature. If there are any missing inputs, MLflow will raise an exception. Superiore inputs that were not declared durante the signature will be ignored. If the spinta specifica per the signature defines spinta names, spinta matching is done by name and the inputs are reordered onesto incontro the signature. If the molla nota does not have spinta names, matching is done by position (i.ed. MLflow will only check the number of inputs).
Spinta Type Enforcement
For models with column-based signatures (i.di nuovo DataFrame inputs), MLflow will perform safe type conversions if necessary. Generally, only conversions that are guaranteed puro 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.anche an exception will be thrown if the incentivo type does not incontro the type specified by the schema).
Handling Integers With Missing Values
Integer scadenza with missing values is typically represented as floats durante Python. Therefore, scadenza types of integer columns in Python can vary depending on the scadenza sample. This type variance can cause nota enforcement errors at runtime since integer and float are not compatible types. For example, if your pratica data did not have any missing values for integer column c, its type will be integer. However, when you attempt puro score per sample of the datazione that does include per missing value sopra column c, its type will be float. If your model signature specified c to have integer type, MLflow will raise an error since it can not convert float preciso int. Note that MLflow wing uses python preciso arrose models and sicuro deploy models onesto Spark, so this can affect most model deployments. The best way preciso avoid this problem is sicuro 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.
