Experiment Trackers

zenml.experiment_trackers

Experiment trackers let you track your ML experiments.

They log the parameters used and allow you to compare between runs. In the ZenML world, every pipeline run is considered an experiment, and ZenML facilitates the storage of experiment results through ExperimentTracker stack components. This establishes a clear link between pipeline runs and experiments.
