Databricks Runtime 11.1 for Machine Learning (unsupported)

Databricks Runtime 11.1 for Machine Learning provides a ready-to-go environment for machine learning and data science based on Databricks Runtime 11.1 (unsupported). Databricks Runtime ML contains many popular machine learning libraries, including TensorFlow, PyTorch, and XGBoost. Databricks Runtime ML includes AutoML, a tool to automatically train machine learning pipelines. Databricks Runtime ML also supports distributed deep learning training using Horovod.

For more information, including instructions for creating a Databricks Runtime ML cluster, see AI and Machine Learning on Databricks.

New features and improvements

Databricks Runtime 11.1 ML is built on top of Databricks Runtime 11.1. For information on what’s new in Databricks Runtime 11.1, including Apache Spark MLlib and SparkR, see the Databricks Runtime 11.1 (unsupported) release notes.

Enhancements to Databricks AutoML

The following enhancements have been made to Databricks AutoML.

  • When AutoML detects that a classification problem is binary, it calculates binary classification metrics and infers the positive class of the problem. You can also specify the positive class using a new pos_label parameter. For details, see Classification and regression parameters.
  • For forecasting problems, AutoML can now handle the scenario where the horizon is long relative to the time span of the training data.
