Databricks Runtime 10.3 for ML (unsupported)

Databricks Runtime 10.3 for Machine Learning provides a ready-to-go environment for machine learning and data science based on Databricks Runtime 10.3 (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 10.3 ML is built on top of Databricks Runtime 10.3. For information on what’s new in Databricks Runtime 10.3, including Apache Spark MLlib and SparkR, see the Databricks Runtime 10.3 (unsupported) release notes.

Enhancements to Databricks AutoML

The following enhancements have been made to Databricks AutoML.

AutoML now supports ARIMA model for forecasting

In addition to Prophet, AutoML now creates and evaluates ARIMA models for forecasting problems.

Exclude columns from dataset

When you use the AutoML API, you can specify columns that AutoML should ignore during its calculations. This is available only for classification and regression problems. See Classification and regression parameters for details.

Exclude algorithm frameworks from an AutoML run

You can specify algorithm frameworks, such as scikit-learn, that AutoML should not consider as it develops models. See Advanced configurations and Classification and regression parameters for details.

max_trials deprecated

The max_trials parameter is deprecated and will be removed in the next major Databricks Runtime ML release. Use timeout_minutes to control the duration of an AutoML run. Also, in Databricks Runtime 10.1 ML and above, AutoML incorporates early stopping; it will stop training and tuning models if the validation metric is no longer improving.

Enhancements to Databricks Feature Store

You can now apply point-in-time lookups to time series feature tables. See Use time series feature tables with point-in-time support for details.

Databricks Autologging (GA)

Databricks Autologging is now generally available in Databricks Runtime 10.3 ML. Databricks Autologging is a no-code solution that provides automatic experiment tracking for machine learning training sessions on Azure Databricks. With Databricks Autologging, model parameters, metrics, files, and lineage information are automatically captured when you train models from a variety of popular machine learning libraries. Training sessions are recorded as MLflow Tracking Runs. Model files are also tracked so you can easily log them to the MLflow Model Registry and deploy them for real-time scoring with MLflow Model Serving.

See Databricks Autologging for more information.
