How to bypass ID column without being used in the training model but have it as output - Azure ML

Question

The input data in the model includes column ControlNo.

But I don't want this column being part of learning process so I'm using Select Columns in Datasetto exclude ControlNo column.

But as an output I want those columns:

ControlNo, Score Label, Score Probability

So basically I need NOT to include column ControlNo into the learning process, but have it as output along with Score Label column.

How can I do that?

Answer 1

Instead of removing the ControlNo column from the dataset, you can use the Edit Metadata module to clear its "Feature" flag - just select the column and set Fields to Clear feature.

This will cause the Azure ML Studio algorithms to ignore it during training, and you'll be able to return it as part of your output.
