YOLO settings and hyperparameters play a critical role in the model's performance, speed, and accuracy. These settings
and hyperparameters can affect the model's behavior at various stages of the model development process, including
training, validation, and prediction.
YOLOv8 'yolo' CLI commands use the following syntax:
!!! example ""
=== "CLI"
```bash
yolo TASK MODE ARGS
```
Where:
- `TASK` (optional) is one of `[detect, segment, classify]`. If it is not passed explicitly YOLOv8 will try to guess
the `TASK` from the model type.
- `MODE` (required) is one of `[train, val, predict, export]`
- `ARGS` (optional) are any number of custom `arg=value` pairs like `imgsz=320` that override defaults.
For a full list of available `ARGS` see the [Configuration](cfg.md) page and `defaults.yaml`
GitHub [source](https://github.com/ultralytics/ultralytics/blob/main/ultralytics/yolo/cfg/default.yaml).
#### Tasks
YOLO models can be used for a variety of tasks, including detection, segmentation, and classification. These tasks
differ in the type of output they produce and the specific problem they are designed to solve.
- **Detect**: Detection tasks involve identifying and localizing objects or regions of interest in an image or video.
YOLO models can be used for object detection tasks by predicting the bounding boxes and class labels of objects in an
image.
- **Segment**: Segmentation tasks involve dividing an image or video into regions or pixels that correspond to
different objects or classes. YOLO models can be used for image segmentation tasks by predicting a mask or label for
each pixel in an image.
- **Classify**: Classification tasks involve assigning a class label to an input, such as an image or text. YOLO
models can be used for image classification tasks by predicting the class label of an input image.
#### Modes
YOLO models can be used in different modes depending on the specific problem you are trying to solve. These modes
include train, val, and predict.
- **Train**: The train mode is used to train the model on a dataset. This mode is typically used during the development
and
testing phase of a model.
- **Val**: The val mode is used to evaluate the model's performance on a validation dataset. This mode is typically used
to
tune the model's hyperparameters and detect overfitting.
- **Predict**: The predict mode is used to make predictions with the model on new data. This mode is typically used in
production or when deploying the model to users.

during training, and the metrics used to evaluate the model's performance. Other factors that may affect the validation
process include the size and composition of the validation dataset and the specific task the model is being used for. It
is important to carefully tune and experiment with these settings to ensure that the model is performing well on the

file (e.g. ONNX, TensorFlow SavedModel), the device on which the model will be run (e.g. CPU, GPU), and the presence of
additional features such as masks or multiple labels per box. Other factors that may affect the export process include
the specific task the model is being used for and the requirements or constraints of the target environment or platform.

performance, speed, and accuracy. Some common YOLO augmentation settings include the type and intensity of the
transformations applied (e.g. random flips, rotations, cropping, color changes), the probability with which each
transformation is applied, and the presence of additional features such as masks or multiple labels per box. Other
factors that may affect the augmentation process include the size and composition of the original dataset and the
specific task the model is being used for. It is important to carefully tune and experiment with these settings to
ensure that the augmented dataset is diverse and representative enough to train a high-performing model.

### Logging, checkpoints, plotting and file management
Logging, checkpoints, plotting, and file management are important considerations when training a YOLO model.
- Logging: It is often helpful to log various metrics and statistics during training to track the model's progress and
diagnose any issues that may arise. This can be done using a logging library such as TensorBoard or by writing log
messages to a file.
- Checkpoints: It is a good practice to save checkpoints of the model at regular intervals during training. This allows
you to resume training from a previous point if the training process is interrupted or if you want to experiment with
different training configurations.
- Plotting: Visualizing the model's performance and training progress can be helpful for understanding how the model is
behaving and identifying potential issues. This can be done using a plotting library such as matplotlib or by
generating plots using a logging library such as TensorBoard.
- File management: Managing the various files generated during the training process, such as model checkpoints, log
files, and plots, can be challenging. It is important to have a clear and organized file structure to keep track of
these files and make it easy to access and analyze them as needed.
Effective logging, checkpointing, plotting, and file management can help you keep track of the model's progress and make
it easier to debug and optimize the training process.
