A machine assessment stage is a sequence of ML capabilities that processes your data. To create a new machine assessment stage for your process, first either create a new process as per the Creating Processes page, or navigate to an existing process by clicking on Assessments -> Processes and selecting your process from the list.


Once you are on your process page:

  1. Click on the Stage Definition tab
  2. Click the 'New Machine Assessment Stage' button
  3. Give your machine assessment stage a name
  4. From the Previous Stage dropdown select a previous stage 
  5. Click the 'Save' button
  6. Now contact Silverpond to continue setting up the ML capabilities of your machine assessment stage


Choosing the best training run for each capability:

  • A 'capability' in highlighter specifies inputs and outputs. A 'training run' is a set of trained weights that can be used to process the inputs and generate the outputs.
  • There are often multiple training runs per capability, because each time we try different training configurations or add new data, we will generate new trained weights.
  • Depending on your use case, you may want to choose the one with the highest performance, or you may want to choose one based on a specific dataset, or the one that was most recently trained.
  • The progress of research on each capability is tracked under Agents -> Evaluations. Go there, find your capability's evaluation, and find the best training run in that evaluation. Take note of the capability id and the training run id.
  • You can use this information when contacting Silverpond to help with setting up the ML capabilities of your machine assessment stage.
