Evaluate the model performance on given data and selected metrics.
This function evaluates a PyFunc model or custom callable on the specified dataset using
specified ``evaluators``, and logs resulting metrics & artifacts to MLflow tracking server.
Users can also skip setting ``model`` and put the model outputs in ``data`` directly for
evaluation. For detailed information, please read
:ref:`the Model Evaluation documentation <model-evaluation>`.
Default Evaluator behavior:
- The default evaluator, which can be invoked with ``evaluators="default"`` or
``evaluators=None``, supports model types listed below. For each pre-defined model type, the
default evaluator evaluates your model on a selected set of metrics and generate artifacts
like plots. Please find more details below.
- For both the ``"regressor"`` and ``"classifier"`` model types, the default evaluator
generates model summary plots and feature importance plots using
`SHAP <https://shap.readthedocs.io/en/latest/index.html>`_.
- For regressor models, the default evaluator additionally logs:
- **metrics**: example_count, mean_absolute_error, mean_squared_error,
root_mean_squared_error, sum_on_target, mean_on_target, r2_score, max_error,
mean_absolute_percentage_error.
- For binary classifiers, the default evaluator additionally logs:
- **metrics**: true_negatives, false_positives, false_negatives, true_positives, recall,
precision, f1_score, accuracy_score, example_count, log_loss, roc_auc,
precision_recall_auc.
- **artifacts**: lift curve plot, precision-recall plot, ROC plot.
- For multiclass classifiers, the default evaluator additionally logs:
- **metrics**: accuracy_score, example_count, f1_score_micro, f1_score_macro, log_loss
- **artifacts**: A CSV file for "per_class_metrics" (per-class metrics includes
true_negatives/false_positives/false_negatives/true_positives/recall/precision/roc_auc,
precision_recall_auc), precision-recall merged curves plot, ROC merged curves plot.
- For question-answering models, the default evaluator logs:
- **metrics**: ``exact_match``, ``token_count``, `toxicity`_ (requires `evaluate`_,
`torch`_, `flesch_kincaid_grade_level`_ (requires `textstat`_) and `ari_grade_level`_.
- **artifacts**: A JSON file containing the inputs, outputs, targets (if the ``targets``
argument is supplied), and per-row metrics of the model in tabular format.

- For retriever models, the default evaluator logs:
- **metrics**: :mod:`precision_at_k(k) <mlflow.metrics.precision_at_k>`,
:mod:`recall_at_k(k) <mlflow.metrics.recall_at_k>` and
:mod:`ndcg_at_k(k) <mlflow.metrics.ndcg_at_k>` - all have a default value of
``retriever_k`` = 3.
- **artifacts**: A JSON file containing the inputs, outputs, targets, and per-row metrics
of the model in tabular format.
- For sklearn models, the default evaluator additionally logs the model's evaluation criterion
(e.g. mean accuracy for a classifier) computed by `model.score` method.
- The metrics/artifacts listed above are logged to the active MLflow run.
If no active run exists, a new MLflow run is created for logging these metrics and
artifacts.
- Additionally, information about the specified dataset - hash, name (if specified), path
(if specified), and the UUID of the model that evaluated it - is logged to the
``mlflow.datasets`` tag.
- The available ``evaluator_config`` options for the default evaluator include:
- **log_model_explainability**: A boolean value specifying whether or not to log model
explainability insights, default value is True.
- **explainability_algorithm**: A string to specify the SHAP Explainer algorithm for model
explainability. Supported algorithm includes: 'exact', 'permutation', 'partition',
'kernel'.
If not set, ``shap.Explainer`` is used with the "auto" algorithm, which chooses the best
Explainer based on the model.
- **explainability_nsamples**: The number of sample rows to use for computing model
explainability insights. Default value is 2000.
- **explainability_kernel_link**: The kernel link function used by shap kernal explainer.
Available values are "identity" and "logit". Default value is "identity".
- **max_classes_for_multiclass_roc_pr**:
For multiclass classification tasks, the maximum number of classes for which to log
the per-class ROC curve and Precision-Recall curve. If the number of classes is
larger than the configured maximum, these curves are not logged.
- **metric_prefix**: An optional prefix to prepend to the name of each metric and artifact
produced during evaluation.
- **log_metrics_with_dataset_info**: A boolean value specifying whether or not to include
information about the evaluation dataset in the name of each metric logged to MLflow
Tracking during evaluation, default value is True.
- **pos_label**: If specified, the positive label to use when computing classification
metrics such as precision, recall, f1, etc. for binary classification models. For
multiclass classification and regression models, this parameter will be ignored.
- **average**: The averaging method to use when computing classification metrics such as
precision, recall, f1, etc. for multiclass classification models
(default: ``'weighted'``). For binary classification and regression models, this
parameter will be ignored.
- **sample_weights**: Weights for each sample to apply when computing model performance
metrics.
- **col_mapping**: A dictionary mapping column names in the input dataset or output
predictions to column names used when invoking the evaluation functions.
- **retriever_k**: A parameter used when ``model_type="retriever"`` as the number of
top-ranked retrieved documents to use when computing the built-in metric
:mod:`precision_at_k(k) <mlflow.metrics.precision_at_k>`,
:mod:`recall_at_k(k) <mlflow.metrics.recall_at_k>` and
:mod:`ndcg_at_k(k) <mlflow.metrics.ndcg_at_k>`. Default value is 3. For all other
model types, this parameter will be ignored.
- Limitations of evaluation dataset:
- For classification tasks, dataset labels are used to infer the total number of classes.
- For binary classification tasks, the negative label value must be 0 or -1 or False, and
the positive label value must be 1 or True.
- Limitations of metrics/artifacts computation:
- For classification tasks, some metric and artifact computations require the model to
output class probabilities. Currently, for scikit-learn models, the default evaluator
calls the ``predict_proba`` method on the underlying model to obtain probabilities. For
other model types, the default evaluator does not compute metrics/artifacts that require
probability outputs.
- Limitations of default evaluator logging model explainability insights:
- The ``shap.Explainer`` ``auto`` algorithm uses the ``Linear`` explainer for linear models
and the ``Tree`` explainer for tree models. Because SHAP's ``Linear`` and ``Tree``
explainers do not support multi-class classification, the default evaluator falls back to
using the ``Exact`` or ``Permutation`` explainers for multi-class classification tasks.
- Logging model explainability insights is not currently supported for PySpark models.
- The evaluation dataset label values must be numeric or boolean, all feature values
must be numeric, and each feature column must only contain scalar values.
- Limitations when environment restoration is enabled:
- When environment restoration is enabled for the evaluated model (i.e. a non-local
``env_manager`` is specified), the model is loaded as a client that invokes a MLflow
Model Scoring Server process in an independent Python environment with the model's
training time dependencies installed. As such, methods like ``predict_proba`` (for
probability outputs) or ``score`` (computes the evaluation criterian for sklearn models)
of the model become inaccessible and the default evaluator does not compute metrics or
artifacts that require those methods.
- Because the model is an MLflow Model Server process, SHAP explanations are slower to
compute. As such, model explainaibility is disabled when a non-local ``env_manager``
specified, unless the ``evaluator_config`` option **log_model_explainability** is
explicitly set to ``True``.
Args:
model: Optional. If specified, it should be one of the following:
- A pyfunc model instance
- A URI referring to a pyfunc model
- A URI referring to an MLflow Deployments endpoint e.g. ``"endpoints:/my-chat"``
- A callable function: This function should be able to take in model input and
return predictions. It should follow the signature of the
:py:func:`predict <mlflow.pyfunc.PyFuncModel.predict>` method. Here's an example
of a valid function:
.. code-block:: python
model = mlflow.pyfunc.load_model(model_uri)
def fn(model_input):
return model.predict(model_input)
If omitted, it indicates a static dataset will be used for evaluation instead of a
model. In this case, the ``data`` argument must be a Pandas DataFrame or an mlflow
PandasDataset that contains model outputs, and the ``predictions`` argument must be the
name of the column in ``data`` that contains model outputs.
data: One of the
following:
- A numpy array or list of evaluation features, excluding labels.
- A Pandas DataFrame containing evaluation features, labels, and optionally model
outputs. Model outputs are required to be provided when model is unspecified.
If ``feature_names`` argument not specified, all columns except for the label
column and model_output column are regarded as feature columns. Otherwise,
only column names present in ``feature_names`` are regarded as feature columns.
- A Spark DataFrame containing evaluation features and labels. If
``feature_names`` argument not specified, all columns except for the label
column are regarded as feature columns. Otherwise, only column names present in
``feature_names`` are regarded as feature columns. Only the first 10000 rows in
the Spark DataFrame will be used as evaluation data.
- A :py:class:`mlflow.data.dataset.Dataset` instance containing evaluation
features, labels, and optionally model outputs. Model outputs are only supported
with a PandasDataset. Model outputs are required when model is unspecified, and
should be specified via the ``predictions`` prerty of the PandasDataset.
model_type: (Optional) A string describing the model type. The default evaluator
supports the following model types:
- ``'classifier'``
- ``'regressor'``
- ``'question-answering'``
- ``'text-summarization'``
- ``'text'``
- ``'retriever'``
If no ``model_type`` is specified, then you must provide a a list of
metrics to compute via the ``extra_metrics`` param.
.. note::
``'question-answering'``, ``'text-summarization'``, ``'text'``, and
``'retriever'`` are experimental and may be changed or removed in a
future release.
targets: If ``data`` is a numpy array or list, a numpy array or list of evaluation
labels. If ``data`` is a DataFrame, the string name of a column from ``data``
that contains evaluation labels. Required for classifier and regressor models,
but optional for question-answering, text-summarization, and text models. If
``data`` is a :py:class:`mlflow.data.dataset.Dataset` that defines targets,
then ``targets`` is optional.
predictions: Optional. The name of the column that contains model outputs.
- When ``model`` is specified and outputs multiple columns, ``predictions`` can be used
to specify the name of the column that will be used to store model outputs for
evaluation.
- When ``model`` is not specified and ``data`` is a pandas dataframe,
``predictions`` can be used to specify the name of the column in ``data`` that
contains model outputs.
.. code-block:: python
:caption: Example usage of predictions
# Evaluate a model that outputs multiple columns
data = pd.DataFrame({"question": ["foo"]})
def model(inputs):
return pd.DataFrame({"answer": ["bar"], "source": ["baz"]})
results = evaluate(
model=model,
data=data,
predictions="answer",
# other arguments if needed
)
# Evaluate a static dataset
data = pd.DataFrame({"question": ["foo"], "answer": ["bar"], "source": ["baz"]})
results = evaluate(
data=data,
predictions="answer",
# other arguments if needed
)
dataset_path: (Optional) The path where the data is stored. Must not contain double
quotes (``“``). If specified, the path is logged to the ``mlflow.datasets``
tag for lineage tracking purposes.
feature_names: (Optional) A list. If the ``data`` argument is a numpy array or list,
``feature_names`` is a list of the feature names for each feature. If
``feature_names=None``, then the ``feature_names`` are generated using the
format ``feature_{feature_index}``. If the ``data`` argument is a Pandas
DataFrame or a Spark DataFrame, ``feature_names`` is a list of the names
of the feature columns in the DataFrame. If ``feature_names=None``, then
all columns except the label column and the predictions column are
regarded as feature columns.
evaluators: The name of the evaluator to use for model evaluation, or a list of
evaluator names. If unspecified, all evaluators capable of evaluating the
specified model on the specified dataset are used. The default evaluator
can be referred to by the name ``"default"``. To see all available
evaluators, call :py:func:`mlflow.models.list_evaluators`.
evaluator_config: A dictionary of additional configurations to supply to the evaluator.
If multiple evaluators are specified, each configuration should be
supplied as a nested dictionary whose key is the evaluator name.
custom_metrics: Deprecated. Use ``extra_metrics`` instead.
extra_metrics:
(Optional) A list of :py:class:`EvaluationMetric <mlflow.models.EvaluationMetric>`
objects. These metrics are computed in addition to the default metrics associated with
pre-defined `model_type`, and setting `model_type=None` will only compute the metrics
specified in `extra_metrics`. See the `mlflow.metrics` module for more information about
the builtin metrics and how to define extra metrics.
.. code-block:: python
:caption: Example usage of extra metrics

rmse_metric = mlflow.models.make_metric(
eval_fn=root_mean_squared_error,
greater_is_better=False,
)
mlflow.evaluate(..., extra_metrics=[rmse_metric])
custom_artifacts:
(Optional) A list of custom artifact functions with the following signature:
.. code-block:: python
def custom_artifact(
eval_df: Union[pandas.Dataframe, pyspark.sql.DataFrame],
builtin_metrics: Dict[str, float],
artifacts_dir: str,
) -> Dict[str, Any]:
"""
Args:
eval_df:
A Pandas or Spark DataFrame containing ``prediction`` and ``target``
column. The ``prediction`` column contains the predictions made by the
model. The ``target`` column contains the corresponding labels to the
predictions made on that row.
builtin_metrics:
A dictionary containing the metrics calculated by the default evaluator.
The keys are the names of the metrics and the values are the scalar
values of the metrics. Refer to the DefaultEvaluator behavior section
for what metrics will be returned based on the type of model (i.e.
classifier or regressor).
artifacts_dir:
A temporary directory path that can be used by the custom artifacts
function to temporarily store produced artifacts. The directory will be
deleted after the artifacts are logged.
Returns:
A dictionary that maps artifact names to artifact objects
(e.g. a Matplotlib Figure) or to artifact paths within ``artifacts_dir``.
"""
...
Object types that artifacts can be represented as:
- A string uri representing the file path to the artifact. MLflow will infer the
type of the artifact based on the file extension.
- A string representation of a JSON object. This will be saved as a .json artifact.
- Pandas DataFrame. This will be resolved as a CSV artifact.
- Numpy array. This will be saved as a .npy artifact.
- Matplotlib Figure. This will be saved as an image artifact. Note that
``matplotlib.pyplot.savefig`` is called behind the scene with default
configurations.
To customize, either save the figure with the desired configurations and return
its file path or define customizations through environment variables in
``matplotlib.rcParams``.
- Other objects will be attempted to be pickled with the default protocol.

validation_thresholds: DEPRECATED. Please use :py:func:`mlflow.validate_evaluation_results`
API instead for running model validation against baseline.
baseline_model: DEPRECATED. Please use :py:func:`mlflow.validate_evaluation_results`
API instead for running model validation against baseline.
env_manager: Specify an environment manager to load the candidate ``model`` in
isolated Python environments and restore their
dependencies. Default value is ``local``, and the following values are
supported:
- ``virtualenv``: (Recommended) Use virtualenv to restore the python
environment that was used to train the model.
- ``conda``: Use Conda to restore the software environment that was used
to train the model.
- ``local``: Use the current Python environment for model inference, which
may differ from the environment used to train the model and may lead to
errors or invalid predictions.
model_config: the model configuration to use for loading the model with pyfunc. Inspect
the model's pyfunc flavor to know which keys are supported for your
specific model. If not indicated, the default model configuration
from the model is used (if any).
baseline_config: DEPRECATED. Please use :py:func:`mlflow.validate_evaluation_results`
API instead for running model validation against baseline.
inference_params: (Optional) A dictionary of inference parameters to be passed to the model
when making predictions, such as ``{"max_tokens": 100}``. This is only used when
the ``model`` is an MLflow Deployments endpoint URI e.g. ``"endpoints:/my-chat"``
Returns:
An :py:class:`mlflow.models.EvaluationResult` instance containing
metrics of evaluating the model with the given dataset.
