Analyze runs

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

note

By default, Neptune Scale only shows head runs of experiments.

To display all runs, use the toggle in the toolbar:

Comparing runs

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

You can use the following tabs to compare runs:

Tab	Keyboard shortcut	Description
All runs	1	Table of all runs. Customizable, with support for shared views.
Charts	2	Display a given metric across multiple runs.
Side-by-side	3	See attribute values as rows instead of columns. Useful for contrasting a large number of configs, scores, and other values at once.
Dashboards	4	Compose your own set of custom widgets.

Select which runs are visible

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

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

• Auto-select first n: Dynamically selects the top n runs of the current table view.

  • To use the default of 5, click Select 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:

• Select all on page: Selects all runs listed on the current page of the table.

• Deselect all: Toggles all of the eye icons off.

• Display only selected: Lists only runs that are selected ().

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.

You can plot a maximum of 1000 graphs on a single chart. For example, if you're displaying 20 metrics from each run, you can select a maximum of 50 runs to compare.

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.

Exploring a single run

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

Tab	Keyboard shortcut	Description
All metadata	1	Navigate the complete metadata structure and preview attributes.
Charts	2	See metrics (such as accuracy or loss) visualized as graphs.
Dashboards	3	Compose 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.
