BigQuery is a service that allows you to store and query large amounts of data in a scalable and cost-effective way. You can use BigQuery to prepare the data for your customer churn prediction model, such as filtering, aggregating, and transforming the data. You can then associate the data with a Vertex AI dataset, which is a service that allows you to store and manage your ML data on Google Cloud. By using a Vertex AI dataset, you can easily access the data from other Vertex AI services, such as AutoML. AutoML is a service that allows you to create and train ML models without writing code. You can use AutoML to create an AutoMLTabularTrainingJob, which is a type of job that trains a classification model for tabular data, such as customer churn. By using an AutoMLTabularTrainingJob, you can benefit from the automated feature engineering, model selection, and hyperparameter tuning that AutoML provides. You can also use Vertex Explainable AI to understand how your model is making predictions, such as which features are most important and how they affect the prediction outcome. By using BigQuery, Vertex AI dataset, and AutoMLTabularTrainingJob, you can build your first model as quickly as possible while minimizing cost and complexity. References:
