Definition

YAML (Yet Another Markup Language) is a human-readable data serialization format widely used for AI model configuration and experiment definition.

How It Works

YAML uses indentation and simple syntax to represent complex configurations. It supports lists, dictionaries, and references, making it ideal for nested model architectures.

The format allows comments and multi-line strings, improving configuration readability and documentation.

Why It Matters

YAML has become the standard for ML experiment configuration. Its readability reduces errors and makes experiments reproducible across teams.

Major ML frameworks like Hydra, MLflow, and Kubernetes use YAML for configuration management.
