训练预测模型

本页面介绍如何使用 Google Cloud 控制台或 Vertex AI API 通过表式数据集训练预测模型。

准备工作

在训练预测模型之前，您必须先完成以下操作：

训练模型

Google Cloud 控制台

在 Google Cloud 控制台的 Vertex AI 部分中，前往数据集页面。

转到“数据集”页面
点击要用于训练模型的数据集的名称，以打开其详情页面。
如果您的数据类型使用注释集，请选择要用于此模型的注释集。
点击训练新模型。
选择其他。
在训练方法页面中，按如下方式配置：
1. 选择模型训练方法。如需了解详情，请参阅模型训练方法。
2. 点击继续。
在模型详情页面中，按如下方式配置：
1. 输入新模型的显示名。
2. 选择目标列。
  
  目标列是模型将预测的值。详细了解目标列要求。
3. 如果您尚未对数据集设置序列标识符和时间戳列，请立即选择它们。
4. 选择您的数据粒度。如果您想使用节假日效应建模，请选择 Daily。了解如何选择数据粒度。
5. 可选：在节假日区域下拉菜单中，选择一个或多个地理区域来启用节假日效应建模。在训练期间，Vertex AI 会根据时间戳列中的日期和指定的地理区域在模型中创建节假日分类特征。只有当数据粒度设置为 Daily 时，才能选择此选项。默认情况下，节假日效应建模处于停用状态。如需了解用于节假日效应建模的地理区域，请参阅节假日区域。
6. 输入您的上下文窗口和预测范围。
  
  预测范围确定模型预测每行预测数据的目标值的未来时间。预测范围以数据粒度为单位指定。
  
  上下文窗口设置模型在训练期间的回溯时间（用于预测）。换句话说，对于每个数据点，上下文窗口会确定模型查找回溯模式的时间。 上下文窗口以数据粒度为单位指定。
  
  了解详情。
7. 如果您要将测试数据集导出到 BigQuery，请勾选将测试数据集导出到 BigQuery (Export test dataset to BigQuery) 并提供表的名称。
8. 如果您想要手动控制数据拆分或配置预测窗口，请打开高级选项。
9. 默认数据拆分按时间顺序，标准为 80/10/10 百分比。如果您想手动指定将哪些行分配给哪个拆分，请选择手动并指定数据拆分列。
  
  详细了解数据拆分。
10. 选择用于生成预测窗口的滚动窗口策略。默认策略是计数。
  - 计数：在提供的文本框中设置最大窗口数的值。
  - 步长：在提供的文本框中设置步幅的值。
  - 列：从提供的下拉菜单中选择适当的列名。
  如需了解详情，请参阅滚动窗口策略。
11. 点击继续。
在训练选项页面中，按如下方式配置：
1. 点击生成统计信息（如果您尚未生成）。
  
  生成统计信息会填充转换下拉菜单。
2. 检查您的列列表，并从训练中排除任何不应用于训练模型的列。
  
  如果您要使用数据拆分列，则应包含该列。
3. 查看为包含的特征选择的转换，并进行任何所需更新。
  
  系统会从训练中排除包含所选转换无效数据的行。详细了解转换。
4. 对于包含用于训练的每一列，请指定特征类型以获取该特征与其时序的关系，以及它在预测时是否可用。详细了解特征类型和可用性。
5. 如果您想指定权重列、更改默认的优化目标或启用分层预测，请打开高级选项。
6. 可选。如果您想指定权重列，请从下拉列表中选择。详细了解权重列。
7. 可选。如果您想选择优化目标，请从列表中选择。详细了解优化目标。
8. 可选。如果您想使用分层预测，请选择启用分层预测。您可以从三个分组选项中进行选择：
  - No grouping
  - Group by columns
  - Group all
  您还可以选择设置以下汇总损失权重：
  - Group total weight。只有在选择 Group by columns 或 Group all 选项时才能设置此字段。
  - Temporal total weight。
  - Group temporal total weight。只有在选择 Group by columns 或 Group all 选项时才能设置此字段。
  详细了解分层预测。
9. 点击继续。
在计算和价格页面中，配置如下：
1. 输入模型训练的最大小时数。此设置有助于限制训练费用。实际所用的时间可能超过此值，因为创建新模型涉及其他操作。
  
  建议的训练时间与预测范围和训练数据的大小有关。下表提供一些预测训练运行示例，以及训练高质量模型所需的训练时间范围。
  
  行功能预测范围训练时间
  
  1200 万 10 6 3-6 小时
  
  2000 万 50 13 6-12 小时
  
  1600 万 30 365 24-48 小时
  
  如需了解训练价格，请参阅价格页面。
2. 点击开始训练。
  模型训练可能需要几个小时，具体取决于数据的大小和复杂性，以及训练预算（如果指定）。您可以关闭此标签页，稍后再返回。模型完成训练后，您会收到电子邮件。
  
  Cloud Storage 或 BigQuery 中的表格训练数据不会导入 Vertex AI。（从本地文件导入时，系统会将其导入到 Cloud Storage 中。）当您使用表格数据创建数据集时，数据会与数据集关联。创建数据集后，您对 Cloud Storage 或 BigQuery 中的数据源所做的更改会纳入使用该数据集训练的模型中。在模型训练开始时，将截取数据集的快照。

Control the data split using REST

You can control how your training data is split between the training,
validation, and test sets. Use a split column to manually specify the data
split for each row and provide it as part of a PredefinedSplit
Split object in the
inputDataConfig of the JSON request.

DATA_SPLIT_COLUMN is the column containing the data split values
(TRAIN, VALIDATION, TEST).
 "predefinedSplit": {
   "key": DATA_SPLIT_COLUMN
 },

Learn more about data splits.

Configure the rolling window strategy using REST

You can provide a windowConfig object to configure a rolling window strategy for
forecast window generation. The default strategy is maxCount.


To use the maxCount option, add the following to trainingTaskInputs of
the JSON request. MAX_COUNT_VALUE refers to the maximum number
of windows.
 "windowConfig": {
   "maxCount": MAX_COUNT_VALUE
 },
 ```

To use the strideLength option, add the following to trainingTaskInputs
of the JSON request. STRIDE_LENGTH_VALUE refers to the value of
the stride length.
 "windowConfig": {
   "strideLength": STRIDE_LENGTH_VALUE
 },
 ```

To use the column option, add the following to trainingTaskInputs of
the JSON request. COLUMN_NAME refers to the name of the column
with True or False values.
 "windowConfig": {
   "column": "COLUMN_NAME"
 },
 ```
