Data Formats for Object2Vec Inference

GPU optimization: Classification or Regression

Due to GPU memory scarcity, the INFERENCE_PREFERRED_MODE environment variable can be specified to optimize on whether the classification/regression or the Output: Encoder Embeddings inference network is loaded into GPU. If the majority of your inference is for classification or regression, specify INFERENCE_PREFERRED_MODE=classification. The following is a Batch Transform example of using 4 instances of p3.2xlarge that optimizes for classification/regression inference:

transformer = o2v.transformer(instance_count=4,
                              instance_type="ml.p2.xlarge",
                              max_concurrent_transforms=2,
                              max_payload=1,  # 1MB
                              strategy='MultiRecord',
                              env={'INFERENCE_PREFERRED_MODE': 'classification'},  # only useful with GPU
                              output_path=output_s3_path)

For classification problems, the length of the scores vector corresponds to num_classes. For regression problems, the length is 1.
