Interpret Google AutoML Online Prediction Results


We are using Google AutoML with Tables using input as CSV files. We have imported data , linked all schema with nullable columns and train model and then deployed and used the online prediction to predict value of one column.

Column we targeted has values min-max ( 44 - 263).

When we deployed and ran online-prediction it return values like this

Prediction result

0.49457597732543945 

95% prediction interval

[-8.209495544433594, 0.9892584085464478] 

Most of the resultset is in above format. How can we convert it to values in range of (44-263). Didn't find much documentation online on the same.

Looking for documentation reference and interpretation along with interpretation of 95% prediction.


Solution

  • Actually to clarify (I'm the PM of AutoML Tables)--

    AutoML Tables does not do any normalization of the predicted values for your label data, so if you expect your label data to have a distribution of min/max 44-263, then the output predictions should also be in that range. Two possibilities would make it significantly different:

    1) You selected the wrong label column

    2) Your input features for this prediction are dramatically different than what was seen in the training data used.
