Service Description: AutoML Prediction API.

On any input that is documented to expect a string parameter in snake_case or kebab-case, either of those cases is accepted.

This class provides the ability to make remote calls to the backing service through method calls that map to API methods. Sample code to get started:

 // This snippet has been automatically generated and should be regarded as a code template only.
 // It will require modifications to work:
 // - It may require correct/in-range values for request initialization.
 // - It may require specifying regional endpoints when creating the service client as shown in
 // https://cloud.google.com/java/docs/setup#configure_endpoints_for_the_client_library
 try (PredictionServiceClient predictionServiceClient = PredictionServiceClient.create()) {
   ModelName name = ModelName.of("[PROJECT]", "[LOCATION]", "[MODEL]");
   ExamplePayload payload = ExamplePayload.newBuilder().build();
   Map<String, String> params = new HashMap<>();
   PredictResponse response = predictionServiceClient.predict(name, payload, params);
 }
 

Note: close() needs to be called on the PredictionServiceClient object to clean up resources such as threads. In the example above, try-with-resources is used, which automatically calls close().

Methods

Method	Description	Method Variants
Predict	Perform an online prediction. The prediction result will be directly returned in the response. Available for following ML problems, and their expected request payloads: Image Classification - Image in .JPEG, .GIF or .PNG format, image_bytes up to 30MB. Image Object Detection - Image in .JPEG, .GIF or .PNG format, image_bytes up to 30MB. Text Classification - TextSnippet, content up to 60,000 characters, UTF-8 encoded. Text Extraction - TextSnippet, content up to 30,000 characters, UTF-8 NFC encoded. Translation - TextSnippet, content up to 25,000 characters, UTF-8 encoded. Tables - Row, with column values matching the columns of the model, up to 5MB. Not available for FORECASTING prediction_type. Text Sentiment - TextSnippet, content up 500 characters, UTF-8 encoded.	Request object method variants only take one parameter, a request object, which must be constructed before the call. predict(PredictRequest request) "Flattened" method variants have converted the fields of the request object into function parameters to enable multiple ways to call the same method. predict(ModelName name, ExamplePayload payload, Map<String, String> params) predict(String name, ExamplePayload payload, Map<String, String> params) Callable method variants take no parameters and return an immutable API callable object, which can be used to initiate calls to the service. predictCallable()
BatchPredict	Perform a batch prediction. Unlike the online Predict, batch prediction result won't be immediately available in the response. Instead, a long running operation object is returned. User can poll the operation result via GetOperation method. Once the operation is done, BatchPredictResult is returned in the response field. Available for following ML problems: Image Classification Image Object Detection Video Classification Video Object Tracking * Text Extraction Tables	Request object method variants only take one parameter, a request object, which must be constructed before the call. batchPredictAsync(BatchPredictRequest request) Methods that return long-running operations have "Async" method variants that return OperationFuture, which is used to track polling of the service. batchPredictAsync(ModelName name, BatchPredictInputConfig inputConfig, BatchPredictOutputConfig outputConfig, Map<String, String> params) batchPredictAsync(String name, BatchPredictInputConfig inputConfig, BatchPredictOutputConfig outputConfig, Map<String, String> params) Callable method variants take no parameters and return an immutable API callable object, which can be used to initiate calls to the service. batchPredictOperationCallable() batchPredictCallable()

See the individual methods for example code.

Many parameters require resource names to be formatted in a particular way. To assist with these names, this class includes a format method for each type of name, and additionally a parse method to extract the individual identifiers contained within names that are returned.

This class can be customized by passing in a custom instance of PredictionServiceSettings to create(). For example:

To customize credentials:

 // This snippet has been automatically generated and should be regarded as a code template only.
 // It will require modifications to work:
 // - It may require correct/in-range values for request initialization.
 // - It may require specifying regional endpoints when creating the service client as shown in
 // https://cloud.google.com/java/docs/setup#configure_endpoints_for_the_client_library
 PredictionServiceSettings predictionServiceSettings =
     PredictionServiceSettings.newBuilder()
         .setCredentialsProvider(FixedCredentialsProvider.create(myCredentials))
         .build();
 PredictionServiceClient predictionServiceClient =
     PredictionServiceClient.create(predictionServiceSettings);
 

To customize the endpoint:

 // This snippet has been automatically generated and should be regarded as a code template only.
 // It will require modifications to work:
 // - It may require correct/in-range values for request initialization.
 // - It may require specifying regional endpoints when creating the service client as shown in
 // https://cloud.google.com/java/docs/setup#configure_endpoints_for_the_client_library
 PredictionServiceSettings predictionServiceSettings =
     PredictionServiceSettings.newBuilder().setEndpoint(myEndpoint).build();
 PredictionServiceClient predictionServiceClient =
     PredictionServiceClient.create(predictionServiceSettings);
 

To use REST (HTTP1.1/JSON) transport (instead of gRPC) for sending and receiving requests over the wire:

 // This snippet has been automatically generated and should be regarded as a code template only.
 // It will require modifications to work:
 // - It may require correct/in-range values for request initialization.
 // - It may require specifying regional endpoints when creating the service client as shown in
 // https://cloud.google.com/java/docs/setup#configure_endpoints_for_the_client_library
 PredictionServiceSettings predictionServiceSettings =
     PredictionServiceSettings.newHttpJsonBuilder().build();
 PredictionServiceClient predictionServiceClient =
     PredictionServiceClient.create(predictionServiceSettings);

Parameters
Name	Description
name	String Required. Name of the model requested to serve the prediction.
payload	ExamplePayload Required. Payload to perform a prediction on. The payload must match the problem type that the model was trained to solve.
params	Map<String,String> Additional domain-specific parameters, any string must be up to 25000 characters long. For Image Classification: score_threshold - (float) A value from 0.0 to 1.0. When the model makes predictions for an image, it will only produce results that have at least this confidence score. The default is 0.5. * For Image Object Detection: score_threshold - (float) When Model detects objects on the image, it will only produce bounding boxes which have at least this confidence score. Value in 0 to 1 range, default is 0.5. max_bounding_box_count - (int64) No more than this number of bounding boxes will be returned in the response. Default is 100, the requested value may be limited by server. For Tables: feature_imp<span>ortan</span>ce - (boolean) Whether feature importance should be populated in the returned TablesAnnotation. The default is false.

Returns
