Add date and time to optimizer name #511

Closed plutonium-239 closed 6 months ago

plutonium-239 commented 1 year ago

Since optimizers are the way to go and we run a lot of them, manually finding the id of the last run optimizer in the experiments table seems.... unnecessary. (I use the grouping feature a lot but I need to open the terminal and scroll to see what was the optimizer id)

A very simple way to improve this and QOL is to use the optimizer.name field, just append the datetime string to it.

An alternative would be to add a optimizer.datetime field, but that requires a change in the api probably?

Nice idea!

Tracking as internal issue EXT-1331.

Workaround: you can now do this from cometx:

cometx log WORKSPACE/PROJECT --query 'Other("optimizer_id") == "OLD-OPTIMIZER-ID"' --type other --set "optimizer_id:NEW-OPTIMIZER-ID"

See: https://github.com/comet-ml/comet-sdk-extensions

You can set the name of the optimizer in the Optimizer config:

config = {
   "algorithm": "random",
   "name": "random-sweep-mar-24-2024",
   ...
}
optimizer = comet_ml.Optimizer(config)
...

Does that solve your issue?

Yes, I think a fully customisable name solves this and is even better! Thank you, I'll close this issue now.
