Steps to train the Model
Once the instance has been selected, training a model using ultralytics Hub is a three step process, as below:
- Picking a Dataset - Read more about Dataset, steps to add/remove dataset from Dataset page
- Picking a Model - Read more about Models, steps to create / share and handle a model HUB Models page
- Training the Model on the chosen Dataset
Ultralytics HUB offers three training options:
- Ultralytics Cloud
- Google Colab - Read more about training via Google Colab HUB Models page
- Bring your own agent - Read more about training via your own Agent HUB Models page
In order to start training your model, follow the instructions presented in these steps.
Training via Ultralytics Cloud
To start training your model using Ultralytics Cloud, we need to simply select the Training Duration, Available Instances, and Payment options.
Training Duration - The Ultralytics offers two kind of training durations
- Training based on
Epochs- This option lets you train your model based on number of times your Dataset needs to go through the cycle of Train, Label and Test. The exact pricing based on number of Epochs is hard to determine. Hence, if the credit gets exhausted before intended number of Epochs, the training pauses and we get a prompt to Top-up and resume Training. - Timed Training - The timed training features allows you to fix the time duration of the entire Training process and also determines the estimated amount before the start of Training.
When the training starts, you can click Done and monitor the training progress on the Model page.
Monitor your training
Once the model and mode of the training has been selected, a User can monitor the training procedure on the Train section with the link provided in the terminal (on your agent / Google colab) or a button from Ultralytics Cloud.
Stopping and resuming your training
Once the training has started a user can Stop the training, which will also correspondingly pause the credit usage for the user. A user can again Resume the training from the point as described in the below screenshot.
