Analyze runs

You can explore individual runs, or visualize multiple runs to compare their metadata.

Comparing runs

To show or hide runs in the right pane, toggle the eye icons ().

You can use the following tabs to compare runs:

TabKeyboard shortcutDescription
All runs1Table of all runs. Customizable, with support for shared views.
Charts2Display a given metric across multiple runs.
Side-by-side3See attribute values as rows instead of columns. Useful for contrasting a large number of values at once.
Dashboards4Compose your own set of custom widgets.

Select which runs are visible

The eye icons () control which runs are selected for Charts, Side-by-side, Dashboards, and Reports.

Runs table in the Neptune app with eye icons highlighted to show selection of runs for compare tabs.

To access display shortcuts, click the eye icon on the header row and choose from the following options:

  • Always first n: Auto-selects the top n runs of the table.

    • To use the default of 5, click Always first directly.

    • To use a different number, adjust it with the -/+ buttons, then close the menu with Esc.

    When this option is enabled, a star appears on the eye icon:

  • All on this page: Selects all runs listed in the table.

  • None: Deselects all runs.

  • Display only selected runs: Hides runs that are not selected for compare mode () from the table.

note

Selecting runs for compare views and showing them in the left pane are separate actions.

Example: If you first select () 4 runs to display in Charts and then filter the table so that only 2 runs are shown in the left pane, the original 4 runs are still plotted on the chart until you deselect () them.

Show experiments' latest run or all runs

To list all runs in the table view, as opposed to only the latest run of each experiment, use the right toggle in the toolbar:

  • Show inherited metrics (enabled by default) – controls data displayed on charts. You can ignore this option when focusing on singular, non-forked runs.
  • Show all runs (disabled by default) – controls whether only experiment heads are listed. Enable this toggle to see all runs created in the project.

All runs tab in the Neptune app. The buttons for switching the experiments history on and off are highlighted.

Exploring a single run

Click on a run to view all of its metadata. You can visualize it in the following tabs:

TabKeyboard shortcutDescription
All metadata1Navigate the complete metadata structure and preview attributes.
Charts2See metrics (such as accuracy or loss) visualized as graphs.
Dashboards3Compose your own set of custom widgets.

To show the most relevant metadata in a single view, create a custom dashboard and then open runs one by one to compare their data.
