Run groups

With the grouping function, you can divide runs into groups by tag, configuration, or other values. You can then compare groups against each other.

note

This page is about group mode in the runs table. For sets in reports, see Define run sets.

Switching to group mode

To switch from List to Group mode, in the All runs tab, click Group.

Grouping runs

By default, runs are grouped by dedicated group tags. To group runs by a different attribute:

1. When in group mode, click Group.
2. From the dropdown list, select one of the available attributes.

For example, if you've logged your runs as follows:

A run

run.log_configs({"params/learning_rate": 0.01})

Another run

run.log_configs({"params/learning_rate": 0.001})

Then you can select the learning_rate attribute to group your runs by learning rate value.

Selecting runs to compare

The eye icon next to a group shows the following:

• The color of a group.
• Whether the runs are currently visible in compare mode:
  • – all runs of the group are visible
  • – only some of the group's runs are visible
  • – none of the group's runs are visible

Compare runs within a group

To compare all runs within a single group against each other:

1. To clear the currently visible runs, click the eye icon in the Name column and select Deselect all.
2. On the group that you're interested in, click the eye icon until it indicates that all runs are visible ().

Compare runs from different groups

To compare runs that belong to the different groups:

1. To clear the currently visible runs, click the eye icon in the Name column and select Deselect all.
2. Open the groups that you're interested in.
3. For each run that you want to compare, click the eye icon until it indicates that the run is visible ().

Manage group colors

To customize the color of a group tag:

1. Click the tag and select Manage group tag.
2. Select the color icon next to the group name.

You can also color runs by group:

• To apply the same color to all runs within a group, click the group tag and enable Match runs.
• To apply a unique color to all groups at once, hover over the header of the leftmost column, select the grouping menu (), and enable Match all group colors.
