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 label 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 for predicting the target field.
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 is usable as an upstream Snap. 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: CSV/JSON Formatter Snap and File Writer Snap can be used to write the output to fileAny 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 to be used for the predictionmodel. |
|---|---|
| Output | This Snap has exactly one document output view. |
| Error | This Snap has at most one document error view. |
Troubleshooting
None.
Limitations and Known Issues
None.
Modes
- Ultra pipelinesPipelines: Works in Ultra pipelinesPipelines.
- Spark mode: Does not work in Spark mode.

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

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 TestingTo test a model trained on a classification dataset, the Predictor (Regression) Snap must be used. The Predictor (Regression) Snap requires two inputs:
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:
