Make automatic batch predictions
To set up a schedule for automatic batch predictions, do the following:
-
In the left navigation pane of Canvas, choose My models.
-
Choose your model.
-
Choose the Predict tab.
-
Choose Batch prediction.
-
For Generate predictions, choose Automatic.
-
The Automate batch predictions dialog box pops up. Choose Select dataset and choose the dataset for which you want to automate predictions. Note that you can only select a dataset that was imported through local upload or Amazon S3.
-
After selecting a dataset, choose Set up.
Canvas runs a batch predictions job for the dataset after you set up the configuration. Then, every time you Update a dataset, either manually or automatically, another batch predictions job runs.
After the prediction job finishes running, on the Run predictions page, you
see an output dataset listed under Predictions. This dataset contains your results, and
if you select the More options icon (
), you can choose
Preview to preview the output data. You can see the input
data matched to the prediction and the probability that the prediction is
correct. Then, you can choose Download to download the results.
The following sections describe how to view, update, and delete your automatic batch prediction configuration through the Datasets page in the Canvas application. You can only set up a maximum of 20 automatic configurations in Canvas. For more information about viewing your automated batch predictions job history or making changes to your automatic configuration through the Automations page, see How to manage automations.
