Build predictions

The fourth data operation of this tutorial will consist in analyzing our data with a machine learning model.

​🗺
 Overview
During this step, we will create a clustering machine learning model using BigQuery ML. Then, we will aggregate all our data into one BigQuery table and use our new model to analyze it.
​🤖
 Create your machine learning model
1.Go to the BigQuery web UI in the Cloud Console.
2.In the navigation panel, in the Resources section, select your project and your dataset.
3.Enter the following SQL query in the Query editor text area:

# Train Clustering Model in your Big Query Console

  from tmp
  group by store_number,store_name
)
4.Click Run.
The query takes several minutes to complete. After the first iteration is complete, your model (sample_model) appears in the navigation panel of the BigQuery web UI.
You can observe the model as it's being trained by viewing the Training tab in the BigQuery web UI.

 Deploy the data operation
Once your files are ready, you can deploy the data operation:
1.Access your working folder by running the following command:
cd "[path to your tailer folder]\tailer-demo\4-Build-predictions"
2.To deploy the data operation, run the following command:
tailer deploy configuration 000099-tailer-demo-build-predictions.json
3.To trigger the workflow, run the following command:
tailer deploy configuration workflow.json
Your data operation is now deployed, which means all your data will shortly be aggregated and analyzed by the machine learning model you have created. The Evaluation tab of your model allows you to view data clustering and get some first insights out of your data.
Your data operation status is now visible in Tailer Studio.
​✅
 Check the data operation status in Tailer Studio
1.Access Tailer Studio.‌
2.In the left navigation menu, select Table-to-table.
3.In the Configurations tab, search for your data operation, 000099-tailer-demo-build-predictions. You can see its status is Activated.
4.Click the data operation ID to display its parameters and full JSON file, or to leave comments about it.
