As far as I could tell, the custom metric could be used for optimization, but was never reported.
I set up a separate branch because I wasn't sure if this was correct (maybe I misinterpreted the documentation on the pr).
In general, we can expect AutoML frameworks to expect different signatures for their metric function. For example, TPOT requires a scikit-learn scorer:
However we want a uniform signature for our own score calculations. So in addition to defining the custom metric for the automl framework(s), one needs to be defined for the automl benchmark. This be a function with the same name as the metric, but with a trailing underscore. The signature is
Callable[[amlb.results.Result], float]:This provides the user with
result.truth,result.predictionsand, if applicable,result.probabilities.
