Question

You are developing a model to predict whether a failure will occur in a critical machine part. You have a dataset consisting of a multivariate time series and labels indicating whether the machine part failed. You recently started experimenting with a few different preprocessing and modeling approaches in a Vertex AI Workbench notebook. You want to log data and track artifacts from each run. How should you set up your experiments?

Why each option

To effectively log data and track artifacts from machine learning experiments within a Vertex AI Workbench notebook, you should establish an experiment and leverage Vertex AI TensorBoard for visualization.

A1. Use the Vertex AI SDK to create an experiment and set up Vertex ML Metadata.

While Vertex ML Metadata is used for tracking artifacts and lineage, it primarily focuses on metadata storage and retrieval, not the interactive visualization of experiment data (like loss curves, metrics over epochs) that is typically implied by 'logging data and tracking artifacts' in a development context.

B1. Use the Vertex AI SDK to create an experiment and set up Vertex ML Metadata.

While Vertex ML Metadata is used for tracking artifacts and lineage, it primarily focuses on metadata storage and retrieval, not the interactive visualization of experiment data (like loss curves, metrics over epochs) that is typically implied by 'logging data and tracking artifacts' in a development context.

C1. Create a Vertex AI TensorBoard instance and use the Vertex AI SDK to create an experimentCorrect

Creating a Vertex AI TensorBoard instance allows for visualizing and tracking experiment metrics, graphs, and other artifacts, which is crucial for iterating on preprocessing and modeling approaches. The Vertex AI SDK is then used within the notebook to log data and artifacts to the created TensorBoard instance as part of an experiment run.

D1. Create a Vertex AI TensorBoard instance, and use the Vertex AI SDK to create an experiment

This option proposes the correct components but is less complete in its description compared to option C, which clearly outlines the combined use of Vertex AI TensorBoard for tracking and the Vertex AI SDK for experiment creation.
