Reference documentation and code samples for the Cloud AutoML V1 Client class InputConfig.
Input configuration for AutoMl.ImportData action.
The format of input depends on dataset_metadata the Dataset into which
the import is happening has. As input source the
gcs_source
is expected, unless specified otherwise. Additionally any input .CSV file
by itself must be 100MB or smaller, unless specified otherwise.
If an "example" file (that is, image, video etc.) with identical content
(even if it had different GCS_FILE_PATH) is mentioned multiple times, then
its label, bounding boxes etc. are appended. The same file should be always
provided with the same ML_USE and GCS_FILE_PATH, if it is not, then
these values are nondeterministically selected from the given ones.
The formats are represented in EBNF with commas being literal and with
non-terminal symbols defined near the end of this comment. The formats are:
AutoML Vision
Classification
See Preparing your training data for more information. CSV file(s) with each line in format: ML_USE,GCS_FILE_PATH,LABEL,LABEL,...
ML_USE- Identifies the data set that the current row (file) applies to. This value can be one of the following:TRAIN- Rows in this file are used to train the model.TEST- Rows in this file are used to test the model during training.UNASSIGNED- Rows in this file are not categorized. They are Automatically divided into train and test data. 80% for training and 20% for testing.
GCS_FILE_PATH- The Google Cloud Storage location of an image of up to 30MB in size. Supported extensions: .JPEG, .GIF, .PNG, .WEBP, .BMP, .TIFF, .ICO.LABEL- A label that identifies the object in the image. For theMULTICLASSclassification type, at most oneLABELis allowed per image. If an image has not yet been labeled, then it should be mentioned just once with noLABEL. Some sample rows: TRAIN,gs://folder/image1.jpg,daisy TEST,gs://folder/image2.jpg,dandelion,tulip,rose UNASSIGNED,gs://folder/image3.jpg,daisy UNASSIGNED,gs://folder/image4.jpg
Object Detection
See Preparing your training data for more information. A CSV file(s) with each line in format: ML_USE,GCS_FILE_PATH,[LABEL],(BOUNDING_BOX | ,,,,,,,)ML_USE - Identifies the data set that the current row (file) applies
to.
This value can be one of the following:TRAIN- Rows in this file are used to train the model.TEST- Rows in this file are used to test the model during training.UNASSIGNED- Rows in this file are not categorized. They are Automatically divided into train and test data. 80% for training and 20% for testing.
GCS_FILE_PATH - The Google Cloud Storage location of an image of up to
30MB in size. Supported extensions: .JPEG, .GIF, .PNG. Each image
is assumed to be exhaustively labeled.LABEL - A label that identifies the object in the image specified by the
BOUNDING_BOX.BOUNDING BOX - The vertices of an object in the example image.
The minimum allowed BOUNDING_BOX edge length is 0.01, and no more than
500 BOUNDING_BOX instances per image are allowed (one BOUNDING_BOX
per line). If an image has no looked for objects then it should be
mentioned just once with no LABEL and the ",,,,,,," in place of the
BOUNDING_BOX.
Four sample rows:

AutoML Video Intelligence
Classification
See Preparing your training data for more information. CSV file(s) with each line in format: ML_USE,GCS_FILE_PATH ForML_USE, do not use VALIDATE.
GCS_FILE_PATH is the path to another .csv file that describes training
example for a given ML_USE, using the following row format:
GCS_FILE_PATH,(LABEL,TIME_SEGMENT_START,TIME_SEGMENT_END | ,,)
Here GCS_FILE_PATH leads to a video of up to 50GB in size and up
to 3h duration. Supported extensions: .MOV, .MPEG4, .MP4, .AVI.
TIME_SEGMENT_START and TIME_SEGMENT_END must be within the
length of the video, and the end time must be after the start time. Any
segment of a video which has one or more labels on it, is considered a
hard negative for all other labels. Any segment with no labels on
it is considered to be unknown. If a whole video is unknown, then
it should be mentioned just once with ",," in place of LABEL,
TIME_SEGMENT_START,TIME_SEGMENT_END.
Sample top level CSV file:
TRAIN,gs://folder/train_videos.csv
TEST,gs://folder/test_videos.csv
UNASSIGNED,gs://folder/other_videos.csv
Sample rows of a CSV file for a particular ML_USE:
gs://folder/video1.avi,car,120,180.000021
gs://folder/video1.avi,bike,150,180.000021
gs://folder/vid2.avi,car,0,60.5

Object Tracking
See Preparing your training data for more information. CSV file(s) with each line in format: ML_USE,GCS_FILE_PATH ForML_USE, do not use VALIDATE.
GCS_FILE_PATH is the path to another .csv file that describes training
example for a given ML_USE, using the following row format:
GCS_FILE_PATH,LABEL,[INSTANCE_ID],TIMESTAMP,BOUNDING_BOX
or
GCS_FILE_PATH,,,,,,,,,,
Here GCS_FILE_PATH leads to a video of up to 50GB in size and up
to 3h duration. Supported extensions: .MOV, .MPEG4, .MP4, .AVI.
Providing INSTANCE_IDs can help to obtain a better model. When
a specific labeled entity leaves the video frame, and shows up
afterwards it is not required, albeit preferable, that the same
INSTANCE_ID is given to it.
TIMESTAMP must be within the length of the video, the
BOUNDING_BOX is assumed to be drawn on the closest video's frame
to the TIMESTAMP. Any mentioned by the TIMESTAMP frame is expected
to be exhaustively labeled and no more than 500 BOUNDING_BOX-es per
frame are allowed. If a whole video is unknown, then it should be
mentioned just once with ",,,,,,,,,," in place of LABEL,
[INSTANCE_ID],TIMESTAMP,BOUNDING_BOX.

AutoML Natural Language
Entity Extraction
See Preparing your training data for more information. One or more CSV file(s) with each line in the following format: ML_USE,GCS_FILE_PATHML_USE - Identifies the data set that the current row (file) applies
to.
This value can be one of the following:TRAIN- Rows in this file are used to train the model.TEST- Rows in this file are used to test the model during training.UNASSIGNED- Rows in this file are not categorized. They are Automatically divided into train and test data. 80% for training and 20% for testing..
GCS_FILE_PATH - a Identifies JSON Lines (.JSONL) file stored in
Google Cloud Storage that contains in-line text in-line as documents
for model training.
After the training data set has been determined from the TRAIN and
UNASSIGNED CSV files, the training data is divided into train and
validation data sets. 70% for training and 30% for validation.
For example:
TRAIN,gs://folder/file1.jsonl
VALIDATE,gs://folder/file2.jsonl
TEST,gs://folder/file3.jsonl
In-line JSONL files
In-line .JSONL files contain, per line, a JSON document that wraps a
text_snippet field followed by
one or more annotations
fields, which have display_name and text_extraction fields to describe
the entity from the text snippet. Multiple JSON documents can be separated
using line breaks (\n).
The supplied text must be annotated exhaustively. For example, if you
include the text "horse", but do not label it as "animal",
then "horse" is assumed to not be an "animal".
Any given text snippet content must have 30,000 characters or
less, and also be UTF-8 NFC encoded. ASCII is accepted as it is
UTF-8 NFC encoded.
For example:
{
"text_snippet": {
"content": "dog car cat"
},
"annotations": [
{
"display_name": "animal",
"text_extraction": {
"text_segment": {"start_offset": 0, "end_offset": 2}
}
},
{
"display_name": "vehicle",
"text_extraction": {
"text_segment": {"start_offset": 4, "end_offset": 6}
}
},
{
"display_name": "animal",
"text_extraction": {
"text_segment": {"start_offset": 8, "end_offset": 10}
}
}
]
}\n
{
"text_snippet": {
"content": "This dog is good."
},
"annotations": [
{
"display_name": "animal",
"text_extraction": {
"text_segment": {"start_offset": 5, "end_offset": 7}
}
}
]
}
JSONL files that reference documents
.JSONL files contain, per line, a JSON document that wraps a
input_config that contains the path to a source document.
Multiple JSON documents can be separated using line breaks (\n).
Supported document extensions: .PDF, .TIF, .TIFF
For example:
{
"document": {
"input_config": {
"gcs_source": { "input_uris": [ "gs://folder/document1.pdf" ]
}
}
}
}\n
{
"document": {
"input_config": {
"gcs_source": { "input_uris": [ "gs://folder/document2.tif" ]
}
}
}
}
In-line JSONL files with document layout information
Note: You can only annotate documents using the UI. The format described
below applies to annotated documents exported using the UI or exportData.
In-line .JSONL files for documents contain, per line, a JSON document
that wraps a document field that provides the textual content of the
document and the layout information.
For example:
{
"document": {
"document_text": {
"content": "dog car cat"
}
"layout": [
{
"text_segment": {
"start_offset": 0,
"end_offset": 11,
},
"page_number": 1,
"bounding_poly": {
"normalized_vertices": [
{"x": 0.1, "y": 0.1},
{"x": 0.1, "y": 0.3},
{"x": 0.3, "y": 0.3},
{"x": 0.3, "y": 0.1},
],
},
"text_segment_type": TOKEN,
}
],
"document_dimensions": {
"width": 8.27,
"height": 11.69,
"unit": INCH,
}
"page_count": 3,
},
"annotations": [
{
"display_name": "animal",
"text_extraction": {
"text_segment": {"start_offset": 0, "end_offset": 3}
}
},
{
"display_name": "vehicle",
"text_extraction": {
"text_segment": {"start_offset": 4, "end_offset": 7}
}
},
{
"display_name": "animal",
"text_extraction": {
"text_segment": {"start_offset": 8, "end_offset": 11}
}
},
],
Classification
See Preparing your training data for more information. One or more CSV file(s) with each line in the following format: ML_USE,(TEXT_SNIPPET | GCS_FILE_PATH),LABEL,LABEL,...ML_USE - Identifies the data set that the current row (file) applies
to.
This value can be one of the following:TRAIN- Rows in this file are used to train the model.TEST- Rows in this file are used to test the model during training.UNASSIGNED- Rows in this file are not categorized. They are Automatically divided into train and test data. 80% for training and 20% for testing.
TEXT_SNIPPET and GCS_FILE_PATH are distinguished by a pattern. If
the column content is a valid Google Cloud Storage file path, that is,
prefixed by "gs://", it is treated as a GCS_FILE_PATH. Otherwise, if
the content is enclosed in double quotes (""), it is treated as a
TEXT_SNIPPET. For GCS_FILE_PATH, the path must lead to a
file with supported extension and UTF-8 encoding, for example,
"gs://folder/content.txt" AutoML imports the file content
as a text snippet. For TEXT_SNIPPET, AutoML imports the column content
excluding quotes. In both cases, size of the content must be 10MB or
less in size. For zip files, the size of each file inside the zip must be
10MB or less in size.
For the MULTICLASS classification type, at most one LABEL is allowed.
The ML_USE and LABEL columns are optional.
Supported file extensions: .TXT, .PDF, .TIF, .TIFF, .ZIP
A maximum of 100 unique labels are allowed per CSV row.
Sample rows:
TRAIN,"They have bad food and very rude",RudeService,BadFood
gs://folder/content.txt,SlowService
TEST,gs://folder/document.pdf
VALIDATE,gs://folder/text_files.zip,BadFood
Sentiment Analysis
See Preparing your training data for more information. CSV file(s) with each line in format: ML_USE,(TEXT_SNIPPET | GCS_FILE_PATH),SENTIMENTML_USE - Identifies the data set that the current row (file) applies
to.
This value can be one of the following:TRAIN- Rows in this file are used to train the model.TEST- Rows in this file are used to test the model during training.UNASSIGNED- Rows in this file are not categorized. They are Automatically divided into train and test data. 80% for training and 20% for testing.
TEXT_SNIPPET and GCS_FILE_PATH are distinguished by a pattern. If
the column content is a valid Google Cloud Storage file path, that is,
prefixed by "gs://", it is treated as a GCS_FILE_PATH. Otherwise, if
the content is enclosed in double quotes (""), it is treated as a
TEXT_SNIPPET. For GCS_FILE_PATH, the path must lead to a
file with supported extension and UTF-8 encoding, for example,
"gs://folder/content.txt" AutoML imports the file content
as a text snippet. For TEXT_SNIPPET, AutoML imports the column content
excluding quotes. In both cases, size of the content must be 128kB or
less in size. For zip files, the size of each file inside the zip must be
128kB or less in size.
The ML_USE and SENTIMENT columns are optional.
Supported file extensions: .TXT, .PDF, .TIF, .TIFF, .ZIPSENTIMENT - An integer between 0 and
Dataset.text_sentiment_dataset_metadata.sentiment_max
(inclusive). Describes the ordinal of the sentiment - higher
value means a more positive sentiment. All the values are
completely relative, i.e. neither 0 needs to mean a negative or
neutral sentiment nor sentiment_max needs to mean a positive one -
it is just required that 0 is the least positive sentiment
in the data, and sentiment_max is the most positive one.
The SENTIMENT shouldn't be confused with "score" or "magnitude"
from the previous Natural Language Sentiment Analysis API.
All SENTIMENT values between 0 and sentiment_max must be
represented in the imported data. On prediction the same 0 to
sentiment_max range will be used. The difference between
neighboring sentiment values needs not to be uniform, e.g. 1 and
2 may be similar whereas the difference between 2 and 3 may be
large.
Sample rows:
TRAIN,"@freewrytin this is way too good for your product",2
gs://folder/content.txt,3
TEST,gs://folder/document.pdf
VALIDATE,gs://folder/text_files.zip,2

ML_USE
: ("TRAIN" | "VALIDATE" | "TEST" | "UNASSIGNED")
Describes how the given example (file) should be used for model
training. "UNASSIGNED" can be used when user has no preference.
GCS_FILE_PATH
: The path to a file on Google Cloud Storage. For example,
"gs://folder/image1.png".

Must be up to 32 characters long and can consist only of ASCII
Latin letters A-Z and a-z, underscores(_), and ASCII digits 0-9.
For each label an AnnotationSpec is created which display_name
becomes the label; AnnotationSpecs are given back in predictions.
INSTANCE_ID
: A positive integer that identifies a specific instance of a
labeled entity on an example. Used e.g. to track two cars on
a video while being able to tell apart which one is which.
BOUNDING_BOX

A rectangle parallel to the frame of the example (image,
video). If 4 vertices are given they are connected by edges
in the order provided, if 2 are given they are recognized
as diagonally opposite vertices of the rectangle.
VERTEX
: (COORDINATE,COORDINATE)
First coordinate is horizontal (x), the second is vertical (y).
COORDINATE
: A float in 0 to 1 range, relative to total length of
image or video in given dimension. For fractions the
leading non-decimal 0 can be omitted (i.e. 0.3 = .3).
Point 0,0 is in top left.
TIME_SEGMENT_START
: (TIME_OFFSET)
Expresses a beginning, inclusive, of a time segment
within an example that has a time dimension
(e.g. video).

: (TIME_OFFSET)
Expresses an end, exclusive, of a time segment within
n example that has a time dimension (e.g. video).
TIME_OFFSET
: A number of seconds as measured from the start of an
example (e.g. video). Fractions are allowed, up to a
microsecond precision. "inf" is allowed, and it means the end
of the example.
TEXT_SNIPPET
: The content of a text snippet, UTF-8 encoded, enclosed within
double quotes ("").
DOCUMENT
: A field that provides the textual content with document and the layout
information.
Errors:
If any of the provided CSV files can't be parsed or if more than certain
percent of CSV rows cannot be processed then the operation fails and
