About me

Crafting a solution for building high-performance,
petabyte scale data analytics, serverless
reporting system on Google Cloud Platform
Goal today

Analytics-as-a-Service - Data Warehouse in the Cloud
Familiar DB Structure (table, columns, views, struct, nested, JSON)
Decent pricing (storage: $20/TB cold: $10/TB,queries $5/TB) *Sep 2019
SQL 2011 + Javascript UDF (User Defined Functions)
BigQuery ML enables users to create machine learning models by SQL queries
Scales into Petabytes on Managed Infrastructure
Integrates with Cloud SQL + Cloud Storage + Sheets + Pub/Sub connectors
What is BigQuery?

Schema modelling / JSON

CREATE TABLE `fh-bigquery.wikipedia_v3.pageviews_2017`
PARTITION BY DATE(datehour)
CLUSTER BY wiki, title
AS SELECT * FROM `fh-bigquery.wikipedia_v2.pageviews_2017`
WHERE datehour > '1990-01-01' # nag
-- 4724.8s elapsed, 2.20 TB processed
SELECT *
FROM `fh-bigquery.wikipedia_v3.pageviews_2017`
WHERE DATE(datehour) BETWEEN '2017-06-01' AND '2017-06-30'
LIMIT 1

Optimize your queries: Partitioning and Clustering

Load from file - either local or from GCS (max 5TB each)
Streaming rows - event driven approach - high throughput 1M rows/sec
Functions - observer-trigger based (Google Cloud Functions)
Pipelines - flexibility to do ETL - FluentD, Kafka, Google Dataflow
Load from connected services - Firestore/Datastore, Billing, AuditLogs, Stackdriver
Firebase - Analytics - Messaging - Crashlytics - Perf. Monitoring - Predictions

Filter plugin mutates incoming data. Add/modify/delete

The copy output plugin copies events to multiple outputs.
File(s), multiple databases, DB engines.
Great to ship same event to multiple subsystems.
The Bigquery output plugin on the fly streams the event to
the BigQuery warehouse. No need to write integration.
Data is available immediately for querying.
Whenever needed other output plugins can be wired in:
Kafka, Google Cloud Storage output plugin.

➢ Optimize product pages
Find, store, analyse in BQ time consuming user actions from using
25x more custom events/hits than Google Analytics
➢ Email engagement
Having stored every open/click raw data improve: subject line, layout,
follow up action emails, assistant like experience by heavy
A/B Split Tests on email marketing campaigns (interactive feedback loop)
➢ Funnel Analysis
Wrangle all the data to discover: a small improvement, an AI driven
upsell personal like experience, pre-sell products configured on the go -
not yet in catalog, but easily can be tweaked/customized
Where to use BigQuery?

● SQL language to run BigData queries
● run raw ad-hoc queries (either by analysts/sales or Devs)
● no more throwing away-, expiring-, aggregating old data
● it’s serverless
● no provisioning/deploy
● no running out of resources
● no more focus on large scale execution plan
Our beneﬁts

Easily Build Custom Reports and Dashboards

What is BigQueryML?

BigQuery ML
1. Execute ML initiatives without moving
data from BigQuery
2. Integrate on models in SQL in BigQuery
to increase development speed
3. Automate common ML tasks and
hyperparameter tuning

Developer SQL Data Scientist Use cases and skills
TensorFlow and
CloudML Engine
● Build and deploy state-of-art custom models
● Requires deep understanding of ML and
programming
BigQuery ML
● Build and deploy custom models using SQL
● Requires only basic understanding of ML
AutoML and
CloudML APIs
● Build and deploy Google-provided models for
standard use cases
● Requires almost no ML knowledge
Making ML accessible for all audiences

● Linearregression for forecasting
● Binaryor Multiclasslogisticregression for classiﬁcation (labels can have up to 50 unique values)
● K-meansclustering for data segmentation (unsupervised learning - not require labels/training)
● Import TensorFlow models for prediction in BigQuery
● Matrixfactorization (Alpha)
● DeepNeuralNetworks using Tensorﬂow (Alpha)
● Feature pre-processingfunctions (Alpha)
Alphas are whitelist only. Please contact your Google CE/Sales/TAM.
Supported models in BigQuery ML

In this tutorial, you use the sample Google Analytics dataset for BigQuery
to create a modelthat predicts whether a website visitor will make a transaction.
● CREATEMODEL statement
● TheML.EVALUATE function to evaluate the ML model
● TheML.PREDICTfunction to make predictions using the ML model

Predict

Use cases:
● Product recommendation
● Marketing campaign target optimization tool
Options and defaults
● Input: User, Item, Rating
● Can use L2 regularization
● Specify training-test split (default random 80-20)
Matrix Factorization (Alpha)
CREATE MODEL yourmodel
OPTIONS (model_type = “matrix_factorization”)
AS SELECT..
ml.PREDICT for user-item ratings
ml.RECOMMEND for full user-item matrix
ml.EVALUATE
ml.WEIGHTS
ml.TRAINING_INFO
ml.FEATURE_INFO

Available data:
● User
● Item
● Rating
Problem
● assigning values for previously unknown values
(zeros in our case)
Matrix Factorization: Problem deﬁnition

Conclusion

● Democratizes the use of ML by empowering data analysts to build and run models using existing
business intelligence tools and spreadsheets
● Generalist team. Models are trained using SQL. There is no need to program an ML solution using
Python or Java.
● Increases the innovation and speed of model development by removing the need to export data from
the data warehouse.
● A Model serves a purpose. Easy to change/recycle.
