Class to train AutoML forecasting models.

The AutoMLForecastingTrainingJob class uses the AutoML training method to train and run a forecasting model. The AutoML training method is a good choice for most forecasting use cases. If your use case doesn't benefit from the Seq2seq or the Temporal fusion transformer training method offered by the SequenceToSequencePlusForecastingTrainingJob and [TemporalFusionTransformerForecastingTrainingJob]https://cloud.google.com/python/docs/reference/aiplatform/latest/google.cloud.aiplatform.TemporalFusionTransformerForecastingTrainingJob) classes respectively, then AutoML is likely the best training method for your forecasting predictions.

For sample code that shows you how to use AutoMLForecastingTrainingJob see the Create a training pipeline forecasting sample on GitHub.

Constructs a Forecasting Training Job.

Parameters
Name	Description
`display_name`	`str` Optional. The user-defined name of this TrainingPipeline.
`optimization_objective`	`str` Optional. Objective function the model is to be optimized towards. The training process creates a Model that optimizes the value of the objective function over the validation set. The supported optimization objectives: "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). "minimize-rmspe" - Minimize root-mean-squared percentage error (RMSPE). "minimize-wape-mae" - Minimize the combination of weighted absolute percentage error (WAPE) and mean-absolute-error (MAE). "minimize-quantile-loss" - Minimize the quantile loss at the defined quantiles. (Set this objective to build quantile forecasts.)
`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.
`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.
`project`	`str` Optional. Project to run training in. Overrides project set in aiplatform.init.
`location`	`str` Optional. Location to run training in. Overrides location set in aiplatform.init.
`credentials`	`auth_credentials.Credentials` Optional. Custom credentials to use to run call training service. Overrides credentials set in aiplatform.init.
`labels`	`Dict[str, str]` Optional. The labels with user-defined metadata to organize TrainingPipelines. 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.
`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`. The key needs to be in the same region as where the compute resource is created. If set, the trained Model will be secured by this key. Overrides encryption_spec_key_name set in aiplatform.init.

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.TimeSeriesDataset

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 time series Datasets, all their data is exported to training, to pick and choose from.

target_column

str

Required. The data granularity unit. Accepted values are minute, hour, day, week, month, year.

data_granularity_count

int

Required. The number of data granularity units between data points in the training data. If [data_granularity_unit] is minute, can be 1, 5, 10, 15, or 30. For all other values of [data_granularity_unit], must be 1.

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 {TRAIN, VALIDATE, 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.

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.

List[float]

Quantiles to use for the minimize-quantile-loss [AutoMLForecastingTrainingJob.optimization_objective]. This argument is required in this case. Accepts up to 5 quantiles in the form of a double from 0 to 1, exclusive. Each quantile must be unique.

validation_options

str

Validation options for the data validation component. The available options are: "fail-pipeline" - (default), will validate against the validation and fail the pipeline if it fails. "ignore-validation" - ignore the results of the validation and continue the pipeline

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

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.

window_stride_length

int

Optional. Step length used to generate input examples. Every window_stride_length rows will be used to generate a sliding window.
