Methods

PredictionServiceClient

PredictionServiceClient(
    transport=None,
    channel=None,
    credentials=None,
    client_config=None,
    client_info=None,
    client_options=None,
)

Constructor.

Parameters
NameDescription
channel grpc.Channel

DEPRECATED. A Channel instance through which to make calls. This argument is mutually exclusive with credentials; providing both will raise an exception.

credentials google.auth.credentials.Credentials

The authorization credentials to attach to requests. These credentials identify this application to the service. If none are specified, the client will attempt to ascertain the credentials from the environment. This argument is mutually exclusive with providing a transport instance to transport; doing so will raise an exception.

client_config dict

DEPRECATED. A dictionary of call options for each method. If not specified, the default configuration is used.

client_info google.api_core.gapic_v1.client_info.ClientInfo

The client info used to send a user-agent string along with API requests. If None, then default info will be used. Generally, you only need to set this if you're developing your own client library.

client_options Union[dict, google.api_core.client_options.ClientOptions]

Client options used to set user options on the client. API Endpoint should be set through client_options.

batch_predict

batch_predict(name, input_config, output_config, params=None, retry=<_MethodDefault._DEFAULT_VALUE: <object object>>, timeout=<_MethodDefault._DEFAULT_VALUE: <object object>>, metadata=None)

Perform a batch prediction. Unlike the online Predict, batch prediction result won't be immediately available in the response. Instead, a long running operation object is returned. User can poll the operation result via GetOperation method. Once the operation is done, BatchPredictResult is returned in the response field. Available for following ML problems:

  • Image Classification
  • Image Object Detection
  • Video Classification
  • Video Object Tracking * Text Extraction
  • Tables

.. rubric:: Example

from google.cloud import automl_v1beta1

client = automl_v1beta1.PredictionServiceClient()

name = client.model_path('[PROJECT]', '[LOCATION]', '[MODEL]')

TODO: Initialize input_config:

input_config = {}

TODO: Initialize output_config:

output_config = {}

response = client.batch_predict(name, input_config, output_config)

def callback(operation_future): ... # Handle result. ... result = operation_future.result()

response.add_done_callback(callback)

Handle metadata.

metadata = response.metadata()

Parameters
NameDescription
name str

Name of the model requested to serve the batch prediction.

input_config Union[dict, BatchPredictInputConfig]

Required. The input configuration for batch prediction. If a dict is provided, it must be of the same form as the protobuf message BatchPredictInputConfig

output_config Union[dict, BatchPredictOutputConfig]

Required. The Configuration specifying where output predictions should be written. If a dict is provided, it must be of the same form as the protobuf message BatchPredictOutputConfig

params dict[str -> str]

Additional domain-specific parameters for the predictions, any string must be up to 25000 characters long. - For Text Classification: score_threshold - (float) A value from 0.0 to 1.0. When the model makes predictions for a text snippet, it will only produce results that have at least this confidence score. The default is 0.5. - For Image Classification: score_threshold - (float) A value from 0.0 to 1.0. When the model makes predictions for an image, it will only produce results that have at least this confidence score. The default is 0.5. - For Image Object Detection: score_threshold - (float) When Model detects objects on the image, it will only produce bounding boxes which have at least this confidence score. Value in 0 to 1 range, default is 0.5. max_bounding_box_count - (int64) No more than this number of bounding boxes will be produced per image. Default is 100, the requested value may be limited by server. - For Video Classification : score_threshold - (float) A value from 0.0 to 1.0. When the model makes predictions for a video, it will only produce results that have at least this confidence score. The default is 0.5. segment_classification - (boolean) Set to true to request segment-level classification. AutoML Video Intelligence returns labels and their confidence scores for the entire segment of the video that user specified in the request configuration. The default is "true". shot_classification - (boolean) Set to true to request shot-level classification. AutoML Video Intelligence determines the boundaries for each camera shot in the entire segment of the video that user specified in the request configuration. AutoML Video Intelligence then returns labels and their confidence scores for each detected shot, along with the start and end time of the shot. WARNING: Model evaluation is not done for this classification type, the quality of it depends on training data, but there are no metrics provided to describe that quality. The default is "false". 1s_interval_classification - (boolean) Set to true to request classification for a video at one-second intervals. AutoML Video Intelligence returns labels and their confidence scores for each second of the entire segment of the video that user specified in the request configuration. WARNING: Model evaluation is not done for this classification type, the quality of it depends on training data, but there are no metrics provided to describe that quality. The default is "false". - For Video Object Tracking: score_threshold - (float) When Model detects objects on video frames, it will only produce bounding boxes which have at least this confidence score. Value in 0 to 1 range, default is 0.5. max_bounding_box_count - (int64) No more than this number of bounding boxes will be returned per frame. Default is 100, the requested value may be limited by server. min_bounding_box_size - (float) Only bounding boxes with shortest edge at least that long as a relative value of video frame size will be returned. Value in 0 to 1 range. Default is 0.

retry Optional[google.api_core.retry.Retry]

A retry object used to retry requests. If None is specified, requests will be retried using a default configuration.

timeout Optional[float]
