Topic #: 6

[All Professional Machine Learning Engineer Questions]

You are training and deploying updated versions of a regression model with tabular data by using Vertex Al Pipelines. Vertex Al Training Vertex Al Experiments and Vertex Al Endpoints. The model is deployed in a Vertex Al endpoint and your users call the model by using the Vertex Al endpoint. You want to receive an email when the feature data distribution changes significantly, so you can retrigger the training pipeline and deploy an updated version of your model What should you do?

AUse Vertex Al Model Monitoring Enable prediction drift monitoring on the endpoint. and specify a notification email.

DExport the container logs of the endpoint to BigQuery Create a Cloud Function to run a SQL query over the exported logs and send an email. Use Cloud Scheduler to trigger the Cloud Function.

BIn Cloud Logging, create a logs-based alert using the logs in the Vertex Al endpoint. Configure Cloud Logging to send an email when the alert is triggered.

CIn Cloud Monitoring create a logs-based metric and a threshold alert for the metric. Configure Cloud Monitoring to send an email when the alert is triggered.

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: A

Prediction drift is the change in the distribution of feature values or labels over time. It can affect the performance and accuracy of the model, and may require retraining or redeploying the model. Vertex AI Model Monitoring allows you to monitor prediction drift on your deployed models and endpoints, and set up alerts and notifications when the drift exceeds a certain threshold. You can specify an email address to receive the notifications, and use the information to retrigger the training pipeline and deploy an updated version of your model. This is the most direct and convenient way to achieve your goal.Reference:

This seems like a pretty straightforward question. I'd start by looking into Vertex AI's monitoring and alerting capabilities to see how I can set up a trigger to detect significant distribution changes in the feature data.
