Integrate with LightGBM¶

Comet can automatically log your model graph, logging metrics, and parameters from your LightGBM code. You need only add the following lines of code to your LightGBM script:

from comet_ml import start, login
import lightgbm as lgbm

login()
experiment = start()

# Your code here...

gbm = lgbm.train()

Log automatically¶

The Comet LightGBM auto-logger can automatically log:

  • Model/graph description
  • Metrics (such as loss and accuracy)
  • Hyperparameters
  • Command-line arguments

End-to-end example¶

Here is a simple end-to-end LightGBM example.

y_pred = gbm.predict(X_test, num_iteration=gbm.best_iteration)
print("The rmse of prediction is:", mean_squared_error(y_test, y_pred) ** 0.5)

Note

There are alternatives to setting the API key programatically. See more here.
