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.

Summary

In this chapter, we implemented a binary logistic regression model. We introduced the business scenario based on the data collected by the city of Chicago about taxi services. After that, we learned how the binary logistic regression technique can be used to predict binary values.

In order to build an effective model, we performed a detailed analysis of the data, and then segmented the dataset according to our needs into three tables: one to host training data, the second for evaluation, and the last one to apply our classification model.

During the training phase of the BigQuery ML model, we constantly improved the performances of the ML model based on the confusion matrix and the ROC AUC value.

After that, we evaluated the best ML model on a new set of records to verify the absence of overfitting and gain more confidence in the good quality of our binary logistic regression model.

Finally, we applied our ML model to the last subset of records to predict the probability...
