Machine Learning with BigQuery ML

By: Alessandro Marrandino

Overview of this book

BigQuery ML enables you to easily build machine learning (ML) models with SQL without much coding. This book will help you to accelerate the development and deployment of ML models with BigQuery ML. The book starts with a quick overview of Google Cloud and BigQuery architecture. You'll then learn how to configure a Google Cloud project, understand the architectural components and capabilities of BigQuery, and find out how to build ML models with BigQuery ML. The book teaches you how to use ML using SQL on BigQuery. You'll analyze the key phases of a ML model's lifecycle and get to grips with the SQL statements used to train, evaluate, test, and use a model. As you advance, you'll build a series of use cases by applying different ML techniques such as linear regression, binary and multiclass logistic regression, k-means, ARIMA time series, deep neural networks, and XGBoost using practical use cases. Moving on, you'll cover matrix factorization and deep neural networks using BigQuery ML's capabilities. Finally, you'll explore the integration of BigQuery ML with other Google Cloud Platform components such as AI Platform Notebooks and TensorFlow along with discovering best practices and tips and tricks for hyperparameter tuning and performance enhancement. By the end of this BigQuery book, you'll be able to build and evaluate your own ML models with BigQuery ML.

Implementing BigQuery ML models within notebooks

In this section, we'll leverage the notebook instance that we configured in the Configuring the first notebook section to run BigQuery SQL statements and develop the BigQuery ML machine learning model.

To learn how a notebook can be used, we'll reuse some of the code blocks that we built in Chapter 4, Predicting Numerical Values with Linear Regression. It's important to remember that the goal of the use case was to predict the rental time of each ride for the New York City bike sharing service. To achieve this goal, we've trained a simple linear regression machine learning model. In this section, we'll use the same technique; that is, we'll be embedding the code into an AI Platform notebook.

Compiling the AI notebook

In this section, we'll compile the notebook using Code cells to embed the SQL queries and Markdown cells to create titles and descriptions. Let's start compiling our notebook...
