Apply constraints and targets to a model 

Create a Criteria Set for a trained model, then define constraints for input features and targets for output features. Send a completed Criteria Set and its model to the engine for evaluation.

When you first open Optimize, you will see the Optimize a model page. From here, you can create, edit or clone Criteria Sets to apply to trained models, and view the results of evaluating a model against a Criteria Set.

Tip: The model cannot be changed once the Criteria Set has been created. You must create a new Criteria Set to use a different model.
To create a Criteria Set:
  1. Click Create new Criteria Set.
  2. Enter a Name for the model, and Tags if required.
  3. Select a trained model.
    • This should be the model you want to apply these criteria to.
    • The model cannot be changed once the Criteria Set has been created.
  4. Click Save.

    After saving a Criteria Set, the criteria definition page is displayed. Changes on the criteria definition page are saved automatically.

    You can come back to this page to edit an unoptimized Criteria Set by right-clicking it on the Optimize a model page and clicking Open.

    By default
    • all model input features are included in the Criteria Set unconstrained.
    • output features are not assigned a target value and are equally weighted.
  5. Optional: To apply a constraint to the model:
    1. Select a constraint type in the Constraint column (Full Range, Fixed or Between).
    2. For Fixed or Between constraints, edit the allowed Value for the input feature.
  6. Optional: To set a target value for an optimization problem:
    1. Set a goal type in the Goal column (Greater than/Above, Less than/Below, Between or None).
    2. Enter a target Value for the output.
      • The Value field auto-populates with the maximum or minimum of the model Range.
      • Click the Value field after selecting a goal type of None to clear it.
    3. Edit the Weight (importance) of the output relative to the others.
  7. To send a Criteria Set and its model to the engine, click Optimize on the criteria definition page.
