Description

Sometimes, experiments may fail for some reasons related with external factors and these experiment could have been launched from code using random search grid so that repeating them is not easy. So, it would be handy two functionalities:

  1. Repeating failed experiments overwriting the appropiate parameters (Data, metrics, etc.)
dvc exp run --failed
  1. Repeting a experiment overwriting its apropiate parameters giver its name:
dvc exp run -n petete --repeat

Research direction

Start with the dvc exp run command entry point and trace how failed experiments and named experiments are currently selected. Define the behavior for --failed and --repeat, including which experiment parameters and outputs are restored, then add coverage showing that each command repeats the intended experiment.
