Question

You need to build classification workflows over several structured datasets currently stored in BigQuery. Because you will be performing the classification several times, you want to complete the following steps without writing code: exploratory data analysis, feature selection, model building, training, and hyperparameter tuning and serving. What should you do?

Options

  • ATrain a TensorFlow model on Vertex AI.
  • BTrain a classification Vertex AutoML model.
  • CRun a logistic regression job on BigQuery ML.
  • DUse scikit-learn in Vertex AI Workbench user-managed notebooks with pandas library.

Why each option

To build classification workflows on structured BigQuery data without writing code, covering EDA, feature selection, model building, training, hyperparameter tuning, and serving, Vertex AutoML for Tabular Data is the ideal solution.

ATrain a TensorFlow model on Vertex AI.

Training a TensorFlow model on Vertex AI requires significant coding expertise for model building, feature engineering, and pipeline orchestration, which goes against the requirement of "without writing code."

BTrain a classification Vertex AutoML model.Correct

Vertex AutoML for Tabular Data is specifically designed for this scenario: it automates the entire ML workflow, including exploratory data analysis, feature engineering (implicitly), model architecture search, training, hyperparameter tuning, and deployment, all without requiring users to write any code for these steps. It directly integrates with BigQuery for data input.

CRun a logistic regression job on BigQuery ML.

While BigQuery ML allows for training models directly in BigQuery with SQL, it still requires SQL queries to define the model and features, and it doesn't provide comprehensive automated EDA, feature selection, or advanced hyperparameter tuning without manual intervention.

DUse scikit-learn in Vertex AI Workbench user-managed notebooks with pandas library.

Using scikit-learn in Vertex AI Workbench notebooks with pandas requires extensive Python coding for every step of the ML workflow, directly contradicting the requirement of "without writing code."
