"It provides the most valuable external analytics."
"Vertex AI possesses multiple libraries, so it eliminates the need for extensive coding."
"The monitoring feature is a true life-saver for data scientists. I give it a ten out of ten."
"We extensively utilize Google Cloud's Vertex AI platform for our machine learning workflows. Specifically, we leverage the IO branch for EDA data in Suresh Live Virtual, employing Forte IT for training machine learning models. The AI model registry in Vertex AI is crucial for cataloging and managing various versions of the models we develop. When it comes to deploying models, we rely on Google Cloud's AI Prediction service, seamlessly integrating it into our workflow for real-time predictions or streaming. For monitoring and tracking the outcomes of model development, we employ Vertex AI Monitoring, ensuring a comprehensive understanding of the model's performance and results. This integrated approach within Vertex AI provides a unified platform for managing, deploying, and monitoring machine learning models efficiently."
"Google Vertex AI is an out-of-the-box and very easy-to-use solution."
"What I find the most valuable about Hugging Face is that I can check all the models on it and see which ones have the best performance without using another platform."
"My preferred aspects are natural language processing and question-answering."
"I believe that Vertex AI is a robust platform, but its effectiveness depends significantly on the domain knowledge of the developer using it. While Vertex AI does offer support through the console UI in the Google Cloud environment, it is better suited for technical members who have a deeper understanding of machine learning concepts. The platform may be challenging for business process developers (BPDUs) who lack extensive technical knowledge, as it involves intricate customization and handling numerous parameters. Effectively utilizing Vertex AI requires not only familiarity with machine learning frameworks like TensorFlow or PyTorch but also a proficiency in Python programming. The complexity of these requirements might pose challenges for less technically oriented users, making it crucial to have a solid foundation in both machine learning principles and Python coding to extract the full value from Vertex AI. It would be beneficial to have a streamlined process where we can leverage the capabilities of Vertex AI directly through the BigQuery UI. This could involve functionalities such as creating machine learning models within the BigQuery UI, providing a more user-friendly and integrated experience. This would allow users to access and analyze data from BigQuery while simultaneously utilizing Vertex AI to build machine learning models, fostering a more cohesive and efficient workflow."
"Google Vertex AI is good in machine learning and AI, but it lacks optimization."
"The solution is stable, but it is quite slow. Maybe my data is too large, but I think that Google could improve Vertex AI's training time."
"I've noticed that using chat activity often presents a broader range of options and insights for a well-constructed question. Improving the knowledge base could be a key aspect for enhancement—expanding the information sources to enhance the generation process."
"It would be beneficial to have certain features included in the future, such as image generators and text-to-speech solutions."
"The area that needs improvement would be the organization of the materials. It could be clearer and more systematic. It would be good if the layout was clear and we could search the models easily."
"Implementing a cloud system to showcase historical data would be beneficial."
