What is this?
Optimize pipelines by caching, fewer transforms, better trainers, and right hyperparameters.
Why should you care?
AIPredict nightly jobs must finish before morning traffic.
See it live — copy this example
Use a .NET console or Web API project with Microsoft.ML. Run dotnet run after pasting.
var cache = ml.Transforms.CopyColumns("Label", "Label"); // keep chain tight
var pipeline = Features().AppendCacheCheckpoint(ml)
.Append(ml.BinaryClassification.Trainers.FastTree(new FastTreeBinaryTrainer.Options {
NumberOfTrees = 100, NumberOfLeaves = 20
}));What happened?
- AppendCacheCheckpoint helps multipass trainers.
- Profile Fit time.
- Don’t add unused transforms.
Practice next
- Add CacheCheckpoint.
- Tune trees/leaves.
- Log Fit duration.
- Halve NumberOfTrees.
- Remove one encode step.
Remember
Cache multipass. Tune options. Drop dead transforms.
AIPredict faster Fit
Cache + lean features cut train time.
Outcome: Nightly job finishes before 6am.
