Get predictions from a text entity extraction model

This page shows you how to get online (real-time) predictions and batch predictions from your text entity extraction models using the Google Cloud console or the Vertex AI API.

Difference between online and batch predictions

Online predictions are synchronous requests made to a model endpoint. Use online predictions when you are making requests in response to application input or in situations that require timely inference.

Batch predictions are asynchronous requests. You request batch predictions directly from the model resource without needing to deploy the model to an endpoint. For text data, use batch predictions when you don't require an immediate response and want to process accumulated data by using a single request.

Get online predictions

Deploy a model to an endpoint

You must deploy a model to an endpoint before that model can be used to serve online predictions. Deploying a model associates physical resources with the model so it can serve online predictions with low latency.

You can deploy more than one model to an endpoint, and you can deploy a model to more than one endpoint. For more information about options and use cases for deploying models, see About deploying models.

Use one of the following methods to deploy a model:

Google Cloud console

  1. In the Google Cloud console, in the Vertex AI section, go to the Models page.

    Go to the Models page

  2. Click the name of the model you want to deploy to open its details page.

  3. Select the Deploy & Test tab.

    If your model is already deployed to any endpoints, they are listed in the Deploy your model section.

  4. Click Deploy to endpoint.

  5. To deploy your model to a new endpoint, select Create new endpoint and provide a name for the new endpoint. To deploy your model to an existing endpoint, select Add to existing endpoint and select the endpoint from the drop-down list.

    You can add more than one model to an endpoint, and you can add a model to more than one endpoint. Learn more.

  6. If you deploy your model to an existing endpoint that has one or more models deployed to it, you must update the Traffic split percentage for the model you are deploying and the already deployed models so that all of the percentages add up to 100%.

  7. Select AutoML Text and configure as follows:

    1. If you're deploying your model to a new endpoint, accept 100 for the Traffic split. Otherwise, adjust the traffic split values for all models on the endpoint so they add up to 100.

    2. Click Done for your model, and when all the Traffic split percentages are correct, click Continue.

      The region where your model deploys is displayed. This must be the region where you created your model.

    3. Click Deploy to deploy your model to the endpoint.

API

When you deploy a model using the Vertex AI API, you complete the following steps:

  1. Create an endpoint if needed.
  2. Get the endpoint ID.
  3. Deploy the model to the endpoint.

Create an endpoint

If you are deploying a model to an existing endpoint, you can skip this step.

gcloud

The following example uses the gcloud ai endpoints create command:

gcloud ai endpoints create \
  --region=LOCATION \
  --display-name=ENDPOINT_NAME

Replace the following:

  • LOCATION_ID: The region where you are using Vertex AI.
  • ENDPOINT_NAME: The display name for the endpoint.

The Google Cloud CLI tool might take a few seconds to create the endpoint.

REST

Before using any of the request data, make the following replacements:

  • LOCATION_ID: Your region.
  • PROJECT_ID: Your project ID.
  • ENDPOINT_NAME: The display name for the endpoint.

HTTP method and URL: 

POST https://LOCATION_ID-aiplatform.googleapis.com/v1/projects/PROJECT_ID/locations/LOCATION_ID/endpoints

Request JSON body: 

{
  "display_name": "ENDPOINT_NAME"
}

To send your request, expand one of these options:

You should receive a JSON response similar to the following:

{
  "name": "projects/PROJECT_NUMBER/locations/LOCATION_ID/endpoints/ENDPOINT_ID/operations/OPERATION_ID",
  "metadata": {
    "@type": "type.googleapis.com/google.cloud.aiplatform.v1.CreateEndpointOperationMetadata",
    "genericMetadata": {
      "createTime": "2020-11-05T17:45:42.812656Z",
      "updateTime": "2020-11-05T17:45:42.812656Z"
    }
  }
}
You can poll for the status of the operation until the response includes "done": true.

Deploy the model

Select the tab below for your language or environment:

gcloud

The following examples use the gcloud ai endpoints deploy-model command.

The following example deploys a Model to an Endpoint without splitting traffic between multiple DeployedModel resources:

Before using any of the command data below, make the following replacements:

  • ENDPOINT_ID: The ID for the endpoint.
  • LOCATION_ID: The region where you are using Vertex AI.
  • MODEL_ID: The ID for the model to be deployed.
  • DEPLOYED_MODEL_NAME: A name for the DeployedModel. You can use the display name of the Model for the DeployedModel as well.
  • MIN_REPLICA_COUNT: The minimum number of nodes for this deployment. The node count can be increased or decreased as required by the prediction load, up to the maximum number of nodes and never fewer than this number of nodes.
  • MAX_REPLICA_COUNT: The maximum number of nodes for this deployment. The node count can be increased or decreased as required by the prediction load, up to this number of nodes and never fewer than the minimum number of nodes. If you omit the --max-replica-count flag, then maximum number of nodes is set to the value of --min-replica-count.

Execute the gcloud ai endpoints deploy-model command:

Linux, macOS, or Cloud Shell

gcloud ai endpoints deploy-model ENDPOINT_ID\
  --region=LOCATION_ID \
  --model=MODEL_ID \
  --display-name=DEPLOYED_MODEL_NAME \
  --traffic-split=0=100

Windows (PowerShell)

gcloud ai endpoints deploy-model ENDPOINT_ID`
  --region=LOCATION_ID `
  --model=MODEL_ID `
  --display-name=DEPLOYED_MODEL_NAME `
  --traffic-split=0=100

Windows (cmd.exe)

gcloud ai endpoints deploy-model ENDPOINT_ID^
  --region=LOCATION_ID ^
  --model=MODEL_ID ^
  --display-name=DEPLOYED_MODEL_NAME ^
  --traffic-split=0=100
 

Splitting traffic

The --traffic-split=0=100 flag in the preceding examples sends 100% of prediction traffic that the Endpoint receives to the new DeployedModel, which is represented by the temporary ID 0. If your Endpoint already has other DeployedModel resources, then you can split traffic between the new DeployedModel and the old ones. For example, to send 20% of traffic to the new DeployedModel and 80% to an older one, run the following command.

Before using any of the command data below, make the following replacements:

  • OLD_DEPLOYED_MODEL_ID: the ID of the existing DeployedModel.

Get operation status

Some requests start long-running operations that require time to complete. These requests return an operation name, which you can use to view the operation's status or cancel the operation. Vertex AI provides helper methods to make calls against long-running operations. For more information, see Working with long-running operations.

Make an online prediction using your deployed model

To make an online prediction, submit one or more test items to a model for analysis, and the model returns results that are based on your model's objective. For more information about prediction results, see the Interpret results page.

Console

Use the Google Cloud console to request an online prediction. Your model must be deployed to an endpoint.

  1. In the Google Cloud console, in the Vertex AI section, go to the Models page.

    Go to the Models page

  2. From the list of models, click the name of the model to request predictions from.

  3. Select the Deploy & test tab.

  4. Under the Test your model section, add test items to request a prediction.

    AutoML models for text objectives require you to type content in a text field and click Predict.

    For information about local feature importance, see Get explanations.

    After the prediction is complete, Vertex AI returns the results in the console.

API

Use the Vertex AI API to request an online prediction. Your model must be deployed to an endpoint.

gcloud

  1. Create a file named request.json with the following contents:

    {
  "instances": [{
    "mimeType": "text/plain",
    "content": "CONTENT"
  }]
}

    Replace the following:

    • CONTENT: The text snippet used to make a prediction.

  2. Run the following command:

    gcloud ai endpoints predict ENDPOINT_ID \
  --region=LOCATION_ID \
  --json-request=request.json

    Replace the following:

    • ENDPOINT_ID: The ID for the endpoint.
    • LOCATION_ID: The region where you are using Vertex AI.

REST

Before using any of the request data, make the following replacements:

  • LOCATION_ID: Region where Endpoint is located. For example, us-central1.
  • PROJECT_ID: Your project ID
  • ENDPOINT_ID: The ID for the endpoint
  • CONTENT: The text snippet used to make a prediction.
  • DEPLOYED_MODEL_ID: The ID of the deployed model that was used to make the prediction.

HTTP method and URL:

Get batch predictions

To make a batch prediction request, you specify an input source and an output format where Vertex AI stores predictions results.

Input data requirements

The input for batch requests specifies the items to send to your model for prediction. For entity extraction, you can include inline text or references to documents that are in a Cloud Storage bucket. For each document, you can also add a key field to your input.

Typically, batch prediction results map inputs and outputs by using the instance field, which includes the content and mimeType fields. If you use the key field in your input, the batch prediction output replaces use the instance field with the key field. This helps simplify your batch prediction output if, for example, your input includes large text snippets.

The following sample shows a JSON Lines file that includes references to documents and inline text snippets with and without the key field.

{"content": "gs://sourcebucket/datasets/texts/source\_text.txt", "mimeType": "text/plain"}
{"content": "gs://bucket/sample.txt", "mimeType": "text/plain", "key": "sample-file"}
{"content": "Text snippet", "mimeType": "text/plain"}
{"content": "Sample text snippet", "mimeType": "text/plain", "key": "sample-snippet"}

Request a batch prediction

For batch prediction requests, you can use the Google Cloud console or the Vertex AI API. Depending on the number of input items that you've submitted, a batch prediction task can take some time to complete.

Google Cloud console

Use the Google Cloud console to request a batch prediction.

  1. In the Google Cloud console, in the Vertex AI section, go to the Batch predictions page.

    Go to the Batch predictions page

  2. Click Create to open the New batch prediction window and complete the following steps:

    1. Enter a name for the batch prediction.
    2. For Model name, select the name of the model to use for this batch prediction.
    3. For Source path, specify the Cloud Storage location where your JSON Lines input file is located.
    4. For the Destination path, specify a Cloud Storage location where the batch prediction results are stored. The Output format is determined by your model's objective. AutoML models for text objectives output JSON Lines files.

API

Use the Vertex AI API to send batch prediction requests.

REST

Before using any of the request data, make the following replacements:

  • LOCATION_IS: Region where Model is stored and batch prediction job is executed. For example, us-central1.
  • PROJECT_ID: Your project ID
  • BATCH_JOB_NAME: Display name for the batch job
  • MODEL_ID: The ID for the model to use for making predictions
  • URI: Cloud Storage URI where your input JSON Lines file is located.
  • BUCKET: Your Cloud Storage bucket
  • PROJECT_NUMBER: Your project's automatically generated project number

HTTP method and URL: 

POST https://LOCATION_ID-aiplatform.googleapis.com/v1/projects/PROJECT_ID/locations/LOCATION_ID/batchPredictionJobs

Request JSON body:
