Constructs a AutoML Tabular Training Job.

Example usage:

job = training_jobs.AutoMLTabularTrainingJob( display_name="my_display_name", optimization_prediction_type="classification", optimization_objective="minimize-log-loss", column_specs={"column_1": "auto", "column_2": "numeric"}, labels={'key': 'value'}, )

Parameters
Name Description
display_name str

Required. The user-defined name of this TrainingPipeline.
optimization_prediction_type str

The type of prediction the Model is to produce. "classification" - Predict one out of multiple target values is picked for each row. "regression" - Predict a value based on its relation to other values. This type is available only to columns that contain semantically numeric values, i.e. integers or floating point number, even if stored as e.g. strings.
optimization_objective str

Optional. Objective function the Model is to be optimized towards. The training task creates a Model that maximizes/minimizes the value of the objective function over the validation set. The supported optimization objectives depend on the prediction type, and in the case of classification also the number of distinct values in the target column (two distint values -> binary, 3 or more distinct values -> multi class). If the field is not set, the default objective function is used. Classification (binary): "maximize-au-roc" (default) - Maximize the area under the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve. "minimize-log-loss" - Minimize log loss. "maximize-au-prc" - Maximize the area under the precision-recall curve. "maximize-precision-at-recall" - Maximize precision for a specified recall value. "maximize-recall-at-precision" - Maximize recall for a specified precision value. Classification (multi class): "minimize-log-loss" (default) - Minimize log loss. Regression: "minimize-rmse" (default) - Minimize root-mean-squared error (RMSE). "minimize-mae" - Minimize mean-absolute error (MAE). "minimize-rmsle" - Minimize root-mean-squared log error (RMSLE).
column_specs Dict[str, str]

Optional. Alternative to column_transformations where the keys of the dict are column names and their respective values are one of AutoMLTabularTrainingJob.column_data_types. When creating transformation for BigQuery Struct column, the column should be flattened using "." as the delimiter. Only columns with no child should have a transformation. If an input column has no transformations on it, such a column is ignored by the training, except for the targetColumn, which should have no transformations defined on. Only one of column_transformations or column_specs should be passed. If none of column_transformations or column_specs is passed, the local credentials being used will try setting column_specs to "auto". To do this, the local credentials require read access to the GCS or BigQuery training data source.
column_transformations List[Dict[str, Dict[str, str]]]

Optional. Transformations to apply to the input columns (i.e. columns other than the targetColumn). Each transformation may produce multiple result values from the column's value, and all are used for training. When creating transformation for BigQuery Struct column, the column should be flattened using "." as the delimiter. Only columns with no child should have a transformation. If an input column has no transformations on it, such a column is ignored by the training, except for the targetColumn, which should have no transformations defined on. Only one of column_transformations or column_specs should be passed. Consider using column_specs as column_transformations will be deprecated eventually. If none of column_transformations or column_specs is passed, the local credentials being used will try setting column_transformations to "auto". To do this, the local credentials require read access to the GCS or BigQuery training data source.
optimization_objective_recall_value float

Optional. Required when maximize-precision-at-recall optimizationObjective was picked, represents the recall value at which the optimization is done. The minimum value is 0 and the maximum is 1.0.
optimization_objective_precision_value float

Optional. Required when maximize-recall-at-precision optimizationObjective was picked, represents the precision value at which the optimization is done. The minimum value is 0 and the maximum is 1.0.

See https://goo.gl/xmQnxf for more information and examples of labels.
training_encryption_spec_key_name Optional[str]

Optional. The Cloud KMS resource identifier of the customer managed encryption key used to protect the training pipeline. Has the form: projects/my-project/locations/my-region/keyRings/my-kr/cryptoKeys/my-key. The key needs to be in the same region as where the compute resource is created. If set, this TrainingPipeline will be secured by this key. Note: Model trained by this TrainingPipeline is also secured by this key if model_to_upload is not set separately. Overrides encryption_spec_key_name set in aiplatform.init.
model_encryption_spec_key_name Optional[str]

Optional. The Cloud KMS resource identifier of the customer managed encryption key used to protect the model. Has the form: projects/my-project/locations/my-region/keyRings/my-kr/cryptoKeys/my-key.

Runs the training job and returns a model.

If training on a Vertex AI dataset, you can use one of the following split configurations: Data fraction splits: Any of training_fraction_split, validation_fraction_split and test_fraction_split may optionally be provided, they must sum to up to 1. If the provided ones sum to less than 1, the remainder is assigned to sets as decided by Vertex AI. If none of the fractions are set, by default roughly 80% of data will be used for training, 10% for validation, and 10% for test.

Predefined splits:
Assigns input data to training, validation, and test sets based on the value of a provided key.
If using predefined splits, `predefined_split_column_name` must be provided.
Supported only for tabular Datasets.

Timestamp splits:
Assigns input data to training, validation, and test sets
based on a provided timestamps. The youngest data pieces are
assigned to training set, next to validation set, and the oldest
to the test set.
Supported only for tabular Datasets.
Parameters
Name Description
dataset datasets.TabularDataset

Required. The dataset within the same Project from which data will be used to train the Model. The Dataset must use schema compatible with Model being trained, and what is compatible should be described in the used TrainingPipeline's [training_task_definition] [google.cloud.aiplatform.v1beta1.TrainingPipeline.training_task_definition]. For tabular Datasets, all their data is exported to training, to pick and choose from.
target_column str

Required. The name of the column values of which the Model is to predict.
training_fraction_split float

Optional. The fraction of the input data that is to be used to train the Model. This is ignored if Dataset is not provided.
validation_fraction_split float

Optional. The fraction of the input data that is to be used to validate the Model. This is ignored if Dataset is not provided.
test_fraction_split float

Optional. The fraction of the input data that is to be used to evaluate the Model. This is ignored if Dataset is not provided.
predefined_split_column_name str

Optional. The key is a name of one of the Dataset's data columns. The value of the key (either the label's value or value in the column) must be one of {training, validation, test}, and it defines to which set the given piece of data is assigned. If for a piece of data the key is not present or has an invalid value, that piece is ignored by the pipeline. Supported only for tabular and time series Datasets.
timestamp_split_column_name str

Optional. The key is a name of one of the Dataset's data columns. The value of the key values of the key (the values in the column) must be in RFC 3339 date-time format, where time-offset = "Z" (e.g. 1985-04-12T23:20:50.52Z). If for a piece of data the key is not present or has an invalid value, that piece is ignored by the pipeline. Supported only for tabular and time series Datasets. This parameter must be used with training_fraction_split, validation_fraction_split, and test_fraction_split.
weight_column str

Optional. Name of the column that should be used as the weight column. Higher values in this column give more importance to the row during Model training. The column must have numeric values between 0 and 10000 inclusively, and 0 value means that the row is ignored. If the weight column field is not set, then all rows are assumed to have equal weight of 1.
budget_milli_node_hours int

Optional. The train budget of creating this Model, expressed in milli node hours i.e. 1,000 value in this field means 1 node hour. The training cost of the model will not exceed this budget. The final cost will be attempted to be close to the budget, though may end up being (even) noticeably smaller - at the backend's discretion. This especially may happen when further model training ceases to provide any improvements. If the budget is set to a value known to be insufficient to train a Model for the given training set, the training won't be attempted and will error. The minimum value is 1000 and the maximum is 72000.
model_display_name str

Optional. If the script produces a managed Vertex AI Model. The display name of the Model. The name can be up to 128 characters long and can be consist of any UTF-8 characters. If not provided upon creation, the job's display_name is used.
model_labels Dict[str, str]

Optional. The labels with user-defined metadata to organize your Models. Label keys and values can be no longer than 64 characters (Unicode codepoints), can only contain lowercase letters, numeric characters, underscores and dashes. International characters are allowed. See https://goo.gl/xmQnxf for more information and examples of labels.
model_id str

Optional. The ID to use for the Model produced by this job, which will become the final component of the model resource name. This value may be up to 63 characters, and valid characters are [a-z0-9_-]. The first character cannot be a number or hyphen.
parent_model str

Optional. The resource name or model ID of an existing model. The new model uploaded by this job will be a version of parent_model. Only set this field when training a new version of an existing model.
is_default_version bool

Optional. When set to True, the newly uploaded model version will automatically have alias "default" included. Subsequent uses of the model produced by this job without a version specified will use this "default" version. When set to False, the "default" alias will not be moved. Actions targeting the model version produced by this job will need to specifically reference this version by ID or alias. New model uploads, i.e. version 1, will always be "default" aliased.
model_version_aliases Sequence[str]

Optional. User provided version aliases so that the model version uploaded by this job can be referenced via alias instead of auto-generated version ID. A default version alias will be created for the first version of the model. The format is a-z][a-zA-Z0-9-]{0,126}[a-z0-9]
model_version_description str

Optional. The description of the model version being uploaded by this job.
disable_early_stopping bool

Required. If true, the entire budget is used. This disables the early stopping feature. By default, the early stopping feature is enabled, which means that training might stop before the entire training budget has been used, if further training does no longer brings significant improvement to the model.
export_evaluated_data_items bool

Whether to export the test set predictions to a BigQuery table. If False, then the export is not performed.
export_evaluated_data_items_bigquery_destination_uri string

Optional. URI of desired destination BigQuery table for exported test set predictions. Expected format: bq://<project_id>:<dataset_id>:

If not specified, then results are exported to the following auto-created BigQuery table: <project_id>:export_evaluated_examples_<model_name>_<yyyy_MM_dd'T'HH_mm_ss_SSS'Z'>.evaluated_examples Applies only if [export_evaluated_data_items] is True.
export_evaluated_data_items_override_destination bool

Whether to override the contents of [export_evaluated_data_items_bigquery_destination_uri], if the table exists, for exported test set predictions. If False, and the table exists, then the training job will fail. Applies only if [export_evaluated_data_items] is True and [export_evaluated_data_items_bigquery_destination_uri] is specified.
additional_experiments List[str]

Optional. Additional experiment flags for the automl tables training.
sync bool

Whether to execute this method synchronously. If False, this method will be executed in concurrent Future and any downstream object will be immediately returned and synced when the Future has completed.
create_request_timeout float

Optional. The timeout for the create request in seconds.
