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? Configure AutoML Tables to perform the classification task. Run a BigQuery ML task to perform logistic regression for the classification. Use AI Platform Notebooks to run the classification model with pandas library. Use AI Platform to run the classification model job configured for hyperparameter tuning. You manage a team of data scientists who use a cloud-based backend system to submit training jobs. This system has become very difficult to administer, and you want to use a managed service instead. The data scientists you work with use many different frameworks, including Keras, PyTorch, theano, Scikit-learn, and custom libraries. What should you do? Use the AI Platform custom containers feature to receive training jobs using any framework. Configure Kubeflow to run on Google Kubernetes Engine and receive training jobs through TF Job. Create a library of VM images on Compute Engine, and publish these images on a centralized repository. Set up Slurm workload manager to receive jobs that can be scheduled to run on your cloud infrastructure. You want to rebuild your ML pipeline for structured data on Google Cloud. You are using PySpark to conduct data transformations at scale, but your pipelines are taking over 12 hours to run. To speed up development and pipeline run time, you want to use a serverless tool and SQL syntax. You have already moved your raw data into Cloud Storage. How should you build the pipeline on Google Cloud while meeting the speed and processing requirements? Use Data Fusion's GUI to build the transformation pipelines, and then write the data into BigQuery. Convert your PySpark into SparkSQL queries to transform the data, and then run your pipeline on Dataproc to write the data into BigQuery. Ingest your data into Cloud SQL, convert your PySpark commands into SQL queries to transform the data, and then use federated queries from BigQuery for machine learning.
