Question

You are developing a model to identify traffic signs in images extracted from videos taken from the dashboard of a vehicle. You have a dataset of 100,000 images that were cropped to show one out of ten different traffic signs. The images have been labeled accordingly for model training, and are stored in a Cloud Storage bucket. You need to be able to tune the model during each training run. How should you train the model?

Options

  • ATrain a model for object detection by using Vertex AI AutoML.
  • BTrain a model for image classification by using Vertex AI AutoML.
  • CDevelop the model training code for object detection, and train a model by using Vertex AI custom
  • DDevelop the model training code for image classification, and train a model by using Vertex AI

Why each option

Given 100,000 *cropped* images, each showing *one* of ten different traffic signs, the problem is image classification, and custom training on Vertex AI allows fine-grained tuning during each run.

ATrain a model for object detection by using Vertex AI AutoML.

This is an image classification problem, not object detection, because the images are already cropped to show a single object. Vertex AI AutoML would also offer less control for tuning than custom training.

BTrain a model for image classification by using Vertex AI AutoML.

While it's an image classification problem, Vertex AI AutoML generally provides less fine-grained control for model tuning during *each training run* compared to custom training.

CDevelop the model training code for object detection, and train a model by using Vertex AI custom

This is an image classification problem, not object detection, as the objects are already isolated and cropped within each image.

DDevelop the model training code for image classification, and train a model by using Vertex AICorrect

Since the images are *cropped to show one* of ten different traffic signs, this is an image classification problem, not object detection. Developing custom training code and using Vertex AI Custom Training allows full control over the model architecture and hyperparameter tuning during each training run, meeting the tuning requirement.
