Retrains a classifier head from the species people have verified, and lets someone start that run from the job form.

The head is retrained, not the backbone. The backbone is frozen, embeddings are stored once per crop, and a run reads those rather than the images.

Where it sits

Stacked on two branches:

So the diff here carries #1492's commits too. Land both first.

This is the retraining slice carved out of #1407.

What a run does

  1. collects verified crops and the embeddings stored for them, and writes one dataset file
  2. hands the processing service the URL and leaves the job running
  3. the service trains, uploads the head, and reports back through a signed callback
  4. the result is registered as a new algorithm version, recording what it learned from

Decisions worth a look

The split is grouped by occurrence, and hashed, not drawn at random. Crops from one occurrence are near-identical frames of the same insect, so splitting per detection puts the same animal on both sides and the held-out score flatters the head. Hashing the occurrence id keeps the held-out set the same between runs, so two heads can be compared.

The occurrence set is optional. Empty means every verified occurrence in the project, which is the ordinary case; naming a set makes a run repeatable. The dataset file records which it was.

The class list comes from the project's taxa list when it has one. A head trained only on what someone happened to verify cannot predict the rest. Classes with no verified data are recorded in the file rather than dropped silently.

Training outlasts the request that starts it. The service reports to a callback authorised by a token Antenna signed when it dispatched, since the service has no account here. The head is uploaded the same way; without it the weights live only in a cache directory on the service's disk.

A job type now says how long it may go quiet. The stale sweep failed anything untouched for ten minutes, which killed healthy training runs waiting on a callback.

The job form

Asks for the job type first; processing and retraining are the two branches of that choice. Retraining asks for the algorithm, an optional set, and the two settings worth changing per run.

A split ratio is unanswerable without knowing what is behind it, so the form reports what the run would learn from and re-reads it as the set or the ratio changes:

11 verified crops from 11 occurrences, covering 2 species. Split 10 to train and 1 to test.

Verified crops with no embedding from the chosen algorithm are called out, since the run leaves them out.

The form, step by step

The type is the first question, and retraining is the other branch of it:

The job type dropdown, offering Process captures and Retrain classifier

The retraining fields: algorithm, occurrence set, held out for testing, minimum crops per species

Only algorithms a processing service reports as trainable are offered:

The algorithm dropdown, listing one trainable algorithm

With no set chosen, the numbers are every verified occurrence in the project. Crops with no embedding from this algorithm are named rather than quietly dropped:

Stats for every verified occurrence: 11 crops, 11 occurrences, 2 species, split 10 and 1

Choosing a set narrows them to that set:

The occurrence set dropdown

Stats for the chosen set: 6 crops, 6 occurrences, 1 species, split 5 and 1

The settings are editable per run, and the numbers follow. A held-out share of 0.5 moves the split:

The same set with the ratio at 0.5: split 3 and 3

Raising the minimum crops per species drops the species that cannot be learned, and says so:

Minimum crops per species at 5: two species become one trainable

A setting no run could use is refused on the field:

A held-out share of 1.5, refused

Two runs, one on everything verified and one from a set:

A run from the seed set, ready to save

Both runs in the jobs list, typed as Train classifier

A run, end to end

Against the BioCLIP 2.5 service on the GPU VM, over a project's real verified crops. Three stages: the set is built here, the service trains, and the result comes back through the callback.

The training job finished, with its three stages green

The logs say what it learned from and what it decided:

Training set: 96 verified crops over 17 species (74 train / 22 test)
Species list comes from taxa list 'NF retraining list (demo)'
7 species in the list have no verified crops yet
Sending training request to the processing service
Registered #67 "BioCLIP 2.5 + LogReg head (Newfoundland, 749 species)" v22 as version 22
Linked 96 occurrence(s) to bioclip-2-5-vith14-logreg-nf749-v22-20261006T154212
New head top-1 0.636 does not beat current 0.875 by more than 0.000.

The last line is the point of keeping the score: a retrain that is worse than what it would replace says so rather than quietly taking over.

The job's logs in full

Progress while it trains

Training is the long stage and the service was silent while it ran, so the bar sat at nought and a slow run looked like a dead one. The service now posts the epoch it has reached, authorised by the same signed token as the result callback, and the stage follows it.

A training job at 52 per cent, with the training stage started

The epoch and the total are stage parameters, so the stage says where it has got to and not only how far along the bar is:

The training stage showing epoch 4,950 of 5,000

The total is written at dispatch from the run's own settings, so the stage reads "0 of 5000" while the service is still starting. A ping never finishes the stage - the result does, since the head still has to be scored and uploaded after the last epoch. Late or out-of-order pings are dropped rather than dragging a run backwards.

Reporting is optional: a service that posts nothing behaves exactly as before, and a ping that fails to send is logged and dropped rather than failing the run. The service side is ami-data-companion#167.

The logs of one of those runs, end to end against the GPU service:

The complete logs of a finished training run

Training set: 11 verified crops over 3 species (10 train / 1 held out)
Species list comes from taxa list 'Seed region species' (3 species)
1 verified detection(s) have no embedding from this algorithm and were left out
Sending training request to the processing service
Registered #22 "BioCLIP 2.5 + LogReg head (Newfoundland, 749 species)" v4 as version 4
No incumbent head was scored, so the new head is not promoted automatically.
WARNING The new head covers only 3 species. The head in service covers far more, so
        promoting this one would narrow what the pipeline can predict.
WARNING Only 1 held-out row(s). Anything under 30 is too few to tell two heads apart,
        so treat this result as a smoke test, not evidence.

That run is against a seeded project, so the numbers are small on purpose; the point is that the guards say so rather than presenting a head trained on eleven crops as an improvement.

The service-to-job interface

A retraining run reports back the way an ML job's results already do: a POST to a route on
the job, typed with a pydantic schema and a serializer, acknowledged with a typed response.
TrainingRequest and TrainingResult mirror the service's own TrainRequest and
TrainResponse, as PipelineRequest and PipelineResultsResponse already do for
processing. The job is marked ASYNC_API, which is what it has always been.

There is one way in. /train returns 202 accepted; the result arrives only at the
callback, parsed once. Antenna previously also read a result from the /train response
body, which gave the same outcome two shapes - and both of the bugs this fixes lived in
that gap. On the callback path the dataset metadata was never parsed, so a registered
version never recorded which occurrence set it learned from; on the inline path the same
code would have raised AttributeError had the duplicate guard not hidden it.

Three things here have no precedent in the platform, and are worth a look:

  1. The callback token. Antenna hands the service a URL and a token signed for that one
    job, valid for 24 hours. The existing async path does it the other way round: the ADC
    worker holds an Antenna API token and posts results as itself. I kept the signed token
    because it is the tighter of the two - scoped to one job, expiring - and because
    POST /jobs/{id}/result/ resolves to a result_ml_job permission that does not exist,
    so in practice that endpoint needs a superuser account. Happy to switch to a service
    token if you would rather have one mechanism; it is a small change either way. The
    permission on the existing endpoint looks unintended and may deserve its own fix.
  2. The head upload. No endpoint existed for a service to send a file back. Same token.
  3. The progress ping. Processing infers progress from results arriving; one long
    training run has nothing to infer from, so the service reports its epoch.

Noted while in here

The training-data endpoint was gated on project visibility, which a non-draft project grants to everyone, so any account could read every verified label in a project together with the vector for each crop. It is now gated on the same permission as the training job.

The trainable flag and the training settings were on the algorithm but nothing ever filled them: a service could report that it retrains a head and Antenna stored false anyway, so the form offered nothing. They now come from the service's /info at registration, like task_type and uri.

Testing

  • 15 tests in ami/ml/test_training.py
  • the form driven end to end in a browser: type switch, algorithm, set, ratio, and the stats moving with each
  • a real run proved earlier against the BioCLIP service on the GPU VM: 96 rows, 74 train / 22 test, head written back and registered

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Added classifier-training jobs with configurable settings, eligible-algorithm selection, and a preview of available training data.
    • Added saved occurrence sets that can be created from selected occurrences, browsed, and used to filter occurrence lists.
    • Added training-data summaries and paginated access to verified examples.
    • Added support for tracking training progress and results, including registering new classifier versions.
  • Bug Fixes
    • Stalled-job detection now uses time limits specific to each job type.

A project needs the same occurrences again later: comparing two classifiers only
means something if both saw the same rows, and a review pass wants the list it
started from. A filter answers differently as data arrives, so the membership is
stored rather than described.

An OccurrenceSet holds its occurrences and the projects it belongs to. A set with
no project is global and is offered everywhere, following how TaxaList already
treats a list with no project. Membership is decided when the set is created and
nothing adds to or removes from one afterwards, because anything recorded against
a set was measured on exactly those occurrences.

Creating, renaming and deleting are gated on new project permissions, held by the
roles that already curate a project's data. A global set has no single project to
check against, so it cannot be edited through the API at all.

The occurrence list takes an occurrence_set filter, and the sets are offered as
choices the same way capture sets are.
Adds the occurrence set to the occurrence filter panel, picked from the set
choices endpoint the same way a capture set is. A set is only useful if you can
look at what is in it, and this is where someone reviewing one starts.

The field is carried over from other views like the existing filters, so arriving
with a set already chosen shows it in the panel where it can be cleared.
Someone filtering the occurrence list to the rows they care about had no way to
keep that selection. Selecting occurrences now offers saving them as a set, next
to the identification actions already there.

The action does not change any occurrence, so it is not behind update rights on
them; the endpoint gates it on the project's own permission instead.
Registering a filter in the shared list is not enough for it to appear: the
occurrences page renders one FilterControl per field it offers, and the set was
missing from that list, so the filter existed everywhere except on screen.

It sits under More filters beside the capture set, and that section now opens on
arrival when a set is already applied, as it does for the other filters there.
The selection bar holds identification actions and is hidden from anyone without
update rights on the occurrences, so saving a set — which changes none of them —
was unavailable to a reader who could still create one. It also sat there as an
unlabelled icon among three others.

It now sits beside Export as a labelled button, and appears only while something
is selected, since that is the only time it does anything.

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 66230

Training dispatch is not retried, but earlier open concerns remain. Draft-project occurrence-set names and sizes may be visible to non-members, concurrent training results could register duplicate versions, and the training preview counts can differ from what a run uses.

Can the backend post a training result periodically instead of only at the end? Or another type of progress payload? That way the job won't get reaped, and the user can see that something is happening. Something like the wandb progress callbacks.

Occurrence-set listing does not check whether the caller may see the project.

Draft-project occurrence sets can leak to non-members. The list permission accepts any existing project_id.

Define for_project for TaxaList.

When taxa_list_id is present, target_taxa_list calls TaxaList.objects.for_project(job.project). TaxaListQuerySet and TaxaListManager do not define that method, so this path raises AttributeError instead of returning the intended validation error. Add the project-scoped queryset method or change the call to an existing supported query.

The duplicate-result guard is a non-atomic check-then-act.

record_result re-reads status and only then registers a version and saves. Two deliveries can run at the same time: the training-result callback and the inline dispatch path, or two callback retries. If both read STARTED before either one saves, both call register_new_version. Each call creates its own AlgorithmCategoryMap and Algorithm row with consecutive version numbers, which is the duplicate the comment says this code prevents. The guard holds only if the service waits for the callback response before it returns from /train, and the code does not enforce that. Take a row lock for the check and the write.

Already-registered algorithms never receive the service's training_config.

Migration 0031 gives every existing Algorithm row the default AlgorithmTrainingConfig. The and _created guard then blocks the service-declared config on every later re-registration. Here is the trigger: an algorithm was registered before this PR, and the service now publishes training_config with its own epochs, head_type, or learning_rate. In that case Antenna keeps the module defaults permanently, and send_training_request sends those defaults to the service. Seed the config whenever the stored config still equals the untouched default. This keeps admin edits safe.

count_missing_embeddings ignores occurrence_set and key.

The function accepts occurrence_set but calls verified_occurrence_ids(project) without it. When a set is selected, the summary endpoint and TrainingDatasetMetadata.verified_detections_without_embedding therefore report missing embeddings for the whole project. Screenshot 6 shows this: the warning stays at 1 after the set narrows the data. The job log then also warns about detections that were never part of the run. The .exclude also does not filter on key=DEFAULT_EMBEDDING_KEY. A detection with only a non-default key is therefore counted as embedded, but verified_training_rows does not use it.

The summary's rows, train and test include crops that a run drops.

build_training_dataset keeps only rows whose label is in class_index. class_index comes from the taxa list (project.default_taxa_list) or from species with at least min_per_species crops. summary counts and splits every row in verified_training_rows, and it never applies the project's default taxa list. Screenshot 8 shows the result: "11 verified crops… covering 1 species", although some of those crops belong to the dropped species. The preview can show a usable split while the run fails with NotEnoughVerifiedData because one side is empty. Resolve the same class set that the build uses, and count only rows in that set.

Source: Coding guidelines

Retraining needs two things an algorithm did not carry: whether the processing
service can retrain it at all, and the settings to retrain it with. Asking the
service on every page load would make the UI depend on the service being up, so
both are mirrored onto the algorithm when it registers.

The config is seeded from the service and then owned here, so an admin's edits
survive the next /info read. The settings are split on purpose: Antenna reads the
dataset half when it builds the training set and passes the fitting half through,
since the service owns the fitting. for_run() takes a job's params on top of the
config and checks them, because a test_fraction outside (0, 1) either holds out
everything or scores a head on the rows it just learned, and both finish looking
like a successful run.

training_info is the other direction: every retrain makes a new algorithm
version, so each version records where its weights came from.
The trainable flag and the training settings were on the algorithm but nothing
ever filled them: a service could say it retrains a head and Antenna stored false
anyway, so the job form offered nothing and the job refused every algorithm. Found
by registering a real service that does report both.

They now come from the /info response at registration, like task_type and uri. The
settings are seeded only when the algorithm is new, so an admin's edits are not
overwritten the next time the pipelines are re-registered.

AlgorithmTrainingConfig moves up the module because the config response now refers
to it.
The training job form offers a classifier to retrain, and listing every algorithm
in the project would offer detectors and heads no service can train. The flag is
already mirrored from the service, so the list endpoint now filters on it.
…go quiet

Four things a job type knows about itself that nothing could ask it:

``required_fields`` and ``required_params`` are what a job of this type cannot
run without, so a gap becomes a 400 when the job is created rather than a failure
minutes later in a worker. ``user_creatable`` says whether a person starts one by
hand, since the rest are made by the platform as a side effect of something else
and nothing should offer those as a choice. ``stalled_after_minutes`` is how long
one may go untouched before the stale check calls it dead, which the default of
ten minutes gets wrong for any type that waits on something external.

Declared here on their own; the checks that read them follow.
A job form had no way to send a type's own settings: params were readable on the
model and absent from the serializer, so which algorithm to retrain and what split
to hold out could not reach the API at all. They are now one writable field rather
than a column per type, because only the type knows what its params mean.

Creation also refuses a job its type could not run, naming the setting that is
missing. The alternative is a worker discovering the gap minutes later, which
leaves a failed job in the list and a person guessing what they got wrong.

Not enforced: user_creatable. Several types the platform creates as a side effect
are also posted directly by existing clients, so it says which types a job form
should offer, which is the UI's question rather than the API's.
The stale sweep fails any job untouched for ten minutes. A job that hands work to
an external service and waits to be called back writes nothing to its own row
meanwhile, so for those types silence is not evidence that the job died, and a
training run that takes an hour was being marked lost while it was still running.

Candidates are still gathered at the default, then each is judged against the
deadline its own type declares. The type is looked up rather than read off the
job, so an unrecognised job_type_key leaves that one job alone instead of raising
and stopping the whole sweep.
Training is run per project and rewrites what every later identification is
compared against, so it belongs behind its own permission rather than any
existing run_*_job one. ML data managers get it with the other job permissions
they already hold; the migration grants it to the groups that exist today so
current managers do not lose the ability when the job appears.
A head trained only on the species someone happened to verify cannot predict the
rest, so a region's expected species have to come from somewhere other than the
verified data. The project now names that list, and training reads it as the
class list.

It is optional: without one, the classes are whatever has been verified.
A head is only worth retraining on the crops a person has already named, so this
collects verified detections together with the embeddings stored for them and
writes one dataset file per run.

Decisions worth knowing about:

The train/test split is grouped by occurrence, not by detection. Crops from one
occurrence are near-identical frames of the same insect, so splitting per
detection puts the same animal on both sides and the held-out score flatters the
head. It is also a hash of the occurrence id rather than a random draw, so the
held-out set stays the same between runs and two heads can be compared.

The vector width is read from the stored vectors rather than assumed, because the
embedding column is unsized and two algorithms may differ.

Species with too few verified crops are dropped, since one example cannot be both
trained and evaluated on. The classes come from the project's taxa list where it
has one, so the head covers the region and not only what has been verified, and
the classes with no verified data are recorded in the file rather than silently
left out.

The metadata is declared as a schema instead of assembled as a dict, so the shape
is checked once here rather than at every reader, and the processing service
echoes it back for the job to store.

The rows are also served over the API, paged at a limit set for their size: a
1024-dimension vector is roughly 20 KB of JSON, so the platform default of 10 is
useless and no limit at all returns hundreds of megabytes.
The training job form asks for a split ratio and an optional occurrence set. Both
questions are unanswerable without knowing what is there, so the summary endpoint
now answers for exactly the run being set up.

It takes the occurrence set, or reports every verified occurrence when none is
chosen, which is what a run without a set does. It defaults the settings to the
algorithm's own training config rather than to module defaults, so the first
numbers someone sees are the numbers a run would use, and it accepts the settings
as parameters so the form can preview a changed ratio without starting a job. The
same bounds a job is held to are applied here, since stats computed under settings
no run could use are worse than no stats.

It also reports the classes that survive min_per_species, and names the species
dropped: a raw class count overstates what the head would come out knowing.

While adding the set parameter: the endpoint was gated on project visibility,
which a non-draft project grants to everyone, so any account could read every
verified label in a project together with the vector for each crop. It is now
gated on the same permission as the training job.
Adds the training job: it builds the dataset, hands a processing service the URL,
and records what comes back as a new algorithm version.

Training outlasts the request that starts it, so the service reports its result to
a callback instead of the connection being held open. The service has no Antenna
account, so the callbacks are authorised by a signed token issued when the job was
dispatched, and the job is looked up directly because project visibility would
refuse an unauthenticated caller. The weights are uploaded the same way: without
that, the head exists only in a cache directory on the service's disk and Antenna
records a version it cannot point at. An upload is refused once the job has
finished, since the token lasts a day and the path is fixed by the job, so
otherwise the weights behind a registered version could be swapped out after the
run ended.

A job type now also declares what it needs before it can start and whether a user
may create it at all, rather than each job discovering a missing param partway
through its own run.
The refactor that gathered the training modules into one package left two imports
behind, so running a training job raised ImportError on ami.ml.training_dataset
instead of building a dataset. The tests did not catch it because neither import
is reached until a job actually runs.
Requiring a set meant that retraining on everything verified so far - the ordinary
case - first made someone save a set of everything, which is a step with no
decision in it.

A job without a set now learns from every verified occurrence in the project. The
dataset file records which set was used, or that there was none, so a run is still
legible afterwards either way. Naming a set is still worth doing when it matters:
a set is fixed once created, so that run can be repeated.
A key is shared by every version of an algorithm, while embeddings are stored
against one version row. Taking whichever row the database returned first could
pick an older version and train on an empty set of vectors, or on vectors from a
different fitting, with nothing in the job to say which had happened.
Training is the long stage of the job and the service says nothing while it runs,
so the bar sat at nought for as long as the fitting took and a person could not
tell a slow run from a dead one.

The service is now told where to report, and posts the epoch it has reached. The
callback is authorised by the same signed token as the result and the head upload,
since a service has no Antenna account. The epoch and the total land as stage
parameters, and the stage progress is the ratio of the two.

The total is written at dispatch from the run's own settings, so the stage reads
"0 of 5000" while the service is still starting rather than an empty pair. A ping
never finishes the stage: the result does, because the service still has to score
the head and upload it after the last epoch. Pings that arrive late or out of order
are dropped rather than dragging a run backwards.

Reporting is optional. A service that does not post anything behaves exactly as
before, and a ping that fails to send must not fail the run.
The training request was a dict literal and the result was read with .get() at a
dozen call sites, so neither side of the exchange was written down anywhere. Every
other service contract in this module is a schema; this one was the exception, and
a service renaming a field would have produced an empty metrics dict and no error.

TrainingRequest and TrainingResult mirror the service's own TrainRequest and
TrainResponse, the way PipelineRequest and PipelineResultsResponse already do for
processing. TrainingResult keeps unknown fields: a newer service may report more
than this one knows about, and the result is the only record of what a run did.

incumbent_metrics is nullable because a service reports null when there was no
current head to score, which is exactly what a first retrain does.
… to read

A result could arrive two ways: in the body of the /train response, or at the
job's callback. The two carried the same outcome in different shapes, and both of
these bugs lived in that gap.

On the callback path the dataset metadata the service echoes was read as
payload["dataset"]["metadata"], which is not where it is, so it was never parsed
and a registered version never recorded which occurrence set it learned from. The
provenance this is all for was quietly dropped on every real run.

On the inline path the same code would have raised AttributeError, because there
"dataset" is the schema object rather than a dict. It never fired only because a
service posts its callback first and the duplicate guard returned early.

/train is now an acknowledgement: the result arrives at the callback, is validated
by a serializer at the view, and record_result takes the parsed result rather than
a raw payload. One shape, one path, parsed once at the boundary.

The result is validated because the new algorithm version is built from it. The
echoed dataset metadata is read leniently: a service echoing an older shape should
still have its result recorded, and the cost is a version that cannot say which
set it came from, not a head that is lost.

Also fixes a flaky test: with a handful of rows, a hash split does not give a
particular ratio a particular count, so the ratio is now compared across two
values rather than asserted exactly.
Every training job read as "internal", the mode for work the platform does
itself, because Job.setup() decides the mode from the pipeline and a training job
has none. It is the platform's own word for what this job has always done: hand
the work to a service and wait to be called back.
The job form only made processing jobs. Retraining had to be posted by hand, which
put it out of reach of the people the feature is for.

The form now asks for the job type first, and the processing fields and the
retraining fields are the two branches of that choice. Retraining asks for the
algorithm, an optional occurrence set, and the two settings worth changing per run.

The occurrence set is optional and empty means every verified occurrence in the
project, which is the ordinary case. A split ratio is unanswerable without knowing
what is behind it, so the form reports what the run would learn from - crops,
occurrences, species, and how the split falls - and re-reads it as the set or the
ratio changes. Verified crops with no embedding from the chosen algorithm are
called out, since they are silently left out of the run.
Leaving a setting empty means "use the algorithm's own", but the empty field was
sent as an empty string, which the job then tried to read as a number and failed
on at run time. Empty fields are left out of the params instead.

A ratio outside the valid range is also no longer asked about: the field already
reports it, and the summary request behind it could only come back as an error.
The list reads its type labels from a map that the new type was missing from, so
every retraining run showed a blank Type while the API was already naming it.

Split into a stack, so this one is now redundant. Same work, same final tree, reviewable in four pieces:

PR What Size
#1501 A job type declares what it needs; an algorithm says whether it can be retrained ~280 lines
#1502 Build a training set from verified occurrences, and serve it ~1,200 lines
#1503 The training job and the contract with the processing service ~1,300 lines
#1504 Start a retrain from the job form ~520 lines

Land them bottom-up. #1501 sits on feat/detection-embeddings-task (#1462); #1502 also merges feat/occurrence-sets (#1492), so that wants to land first too.

Closing in favour of those. GitHub would not let me retarget this one, so #1504 carries what was here.
