descriptions for each table in BigQuery, and you are searching for the proper BigQuery table to use for a model you are
building on AI Platform. How should you find the data that you need?

  • A. Use Data Catalog to search the BigQuery datasets by using keywords in the table description.
  • B. Tag each of your model and version resources on AI Platform with the name of the BigQuery table that was used for training.

  • B. Decrease the range of floating-point values.
  • C. Set the early stopping parameter to TRUE.

Question 8

You work with a data engineering team that has developed a pipeline to clean your dataset and save it in a Cloud Storage
bucket. You have created an ML model and want to use the data to refresh your model as soon as new data is available. As
part of your CI/CD workflow, you want to automatically run a Kubeflow Pipelines training job on Google Kubernetes Engine
(GKE). How should you architect this workflow?

  • A. Configure your pipeline with Dataflow, which saves the files in Cloud Storage. After the file is saved, start the training job on a GKE cluster.
  • B. Use App Engine to create a lightweight python client that continuously polls Cloud Storage for new files. As soon as a file arrives, initiate the training job.
  • C. Configure a Cloud Storage trigger to send a message to a Pub/Sub topic when a new file is available in a storage bucket. Use a Pub/Sub-triggered Cloud Function to start the training job on a GKE cluster.
  • D. Use Cloud Scheduler to schedule jobs at a regular interval. For the first step of the job, check the timestamp of objects in your Cloud Storage bucket. If there are no new files since the last run, abort the job.
