    mlflow_tracker.start_run(f"hparam_search_{i}")
    mlflow_tracker.log_params(config)
    
    # Train

        config=config,
        metrics=metrics,
        tags=['hyperparameter_search']

    if metrics['f1'] > best_f1:
        mlflow_tracker.log_model(model, "best_model")
    
    mlflow_tracker.end_run()

# Find best
best = tracker.get_best_model('f1', filter_tags=['hyperparameter_search'])

CV Issues

Error: opencv-contrib-python not found

pip install opencv-contrib-python==4.8.1 --break-system-packages

Error: Saliency method not available

Requires opencv-contrib-python
Fall back to simple methods

MLOps Issues

Error: mlflow not found

pip install mlflow==2.8.0 --break-system-packages

MLflow UI not starting:

# Check if port 5000 is available
lsof -i :5000

# Use different port
mlflow ui --port 5001
