Overview

This is a Transform type Snap that enables you to predict the target field for an unlabeled document. An unlabeled document is one that does not have a label field. So, the Snap reads this unlabeled document and predicts the target field. Predictions are made based on the regression model built by the Trainer (Regression) Snap.

Input and Output

Expected input: An unlabeled document and the regression model. 

Expected output: Predictions from the regression model based on the input document. 

Expected upstream Snaps:

  • First input view: Any Snap that generates an unlabeled document document. For example, JSON Parser, JSON Generator, CSV Parser, CSV Generator, Mapper, and so on.
  • Second input view: Any Snap that reads and outputs the regression model. For example, a combination of File Reader, and JSON Parser.

Expected downstream Snaps: Any Snap that uses the predicted result. For example, Aggregate, or a combination of File Writer and JSON Formatter.

Prerequisites

The input document must be in tabular format (no nested structure). 

Configuring Accounts

Accounts are not used with this Snap.

Configuring Views

Input

This Snap has exactly two document input views. The first input view is for the unlabeled document that requires prediction. The second input view is for the regression model.
OutputThis Snap has exactly one document output view.
ErrorThis Snap has at most one document error view.

Troubleshooting

None.

Limitations and Known Issues

None.

Select one of the following three modes in which the Snap executes:

  • Validate & Execute: Performs limited execution of the Snap, and generates a data preview during Pipeline validation. Subsequently, performs full execution of the Snap (unlimited records) during Pipeline runtime.

  • Execute only: Performs full execution of the Snap during Pipeline execution without generating preview data.

  • Disabled: Disables the Snap and all Snaps that are downstream from it.

Default ValueExecute only
Example: Validate & Execute



Examples


Heating Load Prediction – Testing

The model trained in the Heating Load Prediction – Model Training example pipeline is tested against an unlabeled dataset.

titleUnderstanding the pipeline

In this example, the unlabeled dataset is created using the CSV Generator Snap. This dataset is used as the data input for the Predictor (Regression) Snap. The target field (heating load) is to be predicted for this dataset. 

The model trained in the Heating Load Prediction – Model Training example is used as the model input. The File Reader Snap is configured to read this model from the SLDB. The JSON Parser Snap is used to parse the output from the File Reader Snap. Below is a preview of the output from the JSON Parser Snap (the model):

Model Testing

To test a model trained on a classification dataset, the Predictor (Regression) Snap must be used. 

The Predictor (Regression) Snap requires two inputs:

  • An unlabeled dataset for the data input
  • The ML model trained on the labeled dataset for the model input

The Predictor Snap is configured as shown below:

Based on its configuration, the output from the Snap includes one class prediction per document. This output is as shown below:
