Run MLflow evaluate() to compare two candidate models on a shared validation dataset

Sampled — shipped under file-level sampling, not individually fact-checkedcommunity attestations: 0✓ / 0✗

Steps

  1. Load or log both models as MLflow pyfunc flavors so evaluate() can call predict() uniformly
  2. Prepare a pandas DataFrame or mlflow.data.Dataset with features and a targets column
  3. Call mlflow.evaluate(model=model_uri, data=eval_data, targets='label', model_type='classifier') for each candidate inside a parent run
  4. Access per-model EvaluationResult.metrics dict and compare accuracy, F1, and custom metrics defined via mlflow.models.make_metric()
  5. Log the comparison artifact with mlflow.log_artifact() and register the winner using client.set_registered_model_alias()
