create-ml-transform¶

Description¶

Creates an AWS Glue machine learning transform. This operation creates the transform and all the necessary parameters to train it.

Call this operation as the first step in the process of using a machine learning transform (such as the FindMatches transform) for deduplicating data. You can provide an optional Description , in addition to the parameters that you want to use for your algorithm.

You must also specify certain parameters for the tasks that AWS Glue runs on your behalf as part of learning from your data and creating a high-quality machine learning transform. These parameters include Role , and optionally, AllocatedCapacity , Timeout , and MaxRetries . For more information, see Jobs .

Options¶

--name (string)

The unique name that you give the transform when you create it.

--description (string)

A description of the machine learning transform that is being defined. The default is an empty string.

--input-record-tables (list)

A list of AWS Glue table definitions used by the transform.

(structure)

The database and table in the AWS Glue Data Catalog that is used for input or output data.

DatabaseName -> (string)

A database name in the AWS Glue Data Catalog.

TableName -> (string)

A table name in the AWS Glue Data Catalog.

CatalogId -> (string)

A unique identifier for the AWS Glue Data Catalog.

ConnectionName -> (string)

The name of the connection to the AWS Glue Data Catalog.

Shorthand Syntax:

DatabaseName=string,TableName=string,CatalogId=string,ConnectionName=string ...

JSON Syntax:

[
  {
    "DatabaseName": "string",
    "TableName": "string",
    "CatalogId": "string",
    "ConnectionName": "string"
  }
  ...
]

--parameters (structure)

The algorithmic parameters that are specific to the transform type used. Conditionally dependent on the transform type.

TransformType -> (string)

The type of machine learning transform.

For information about the types of machine learning transforms, see Creating Machine Learning Transforms .

FindMatchesParameters -> (structure)

The parameters for the find matches algorithm.

PrimaryKeyColumnName -> (string)

The name of a column that uniquely identifies rows in the source table. Used to help identify matching records.

PrecisionRecallTradeoff -> (double)

The value selected when tuning your transform for a balance between precision and recall. A value of 0.5 means no preference; a value of 1.0 means a bias purely for precision, and a value of 0.0 means a bias for recall. Because this is a tradeoff, choosing values close to 1.0 means very low recall, and choosing values close to 0.0 results in very low precision.

The precision metric indicates how often your model is correct when it predicts a match.

The recall metric indicates that for an actual match, how often your model predicts the match.

AccuracyCostTradeoff -> (double)

The value that is selected when tuning your transform for a balance between accuracy and cost. A value of 0.5 means that the system balances accuracy and cost concerns. A value of 1.0 means a bias purely for accuracy, which typically results in a higher cost, sometimes substantially higher. A value of 0.0 means a bias purely for cost, which results in a less accurate FindMatches transform, sometimes with unacceptable accuracy.

Accuracy measures how well the transform finds true positives and true negatives. Increasing accuracy requires more machine resources and cost. But it also results in increased recall.

Cost measures how many compute resources, and thus money, are consumed to run the transform.

EnforceProvidedLabels -> (boolean)

The value to switch on or off to force the output to match the provided labels from users. If the value is True , the find matches transform forces the output to match the provided labels. The results override the normal conflation results. If the value is False , the find matches transform does not ensure all the labels provided are respected, and the results rely on the trained model.

Note that setting this value to true may increase the conflation execution time.

Shorthand Syntax:

TransformType=string,FindMatchesParameters={PrimaryKeyColumnName=string,PrecisionRecallTradeoff=double,AccuracyCostTradeoff=double,EnforceProvidedLabels=boolean}

JSON Syntax:

{
  "TransformType": "FIND_MATCHES",
  "FindMatchesParameters": {
    "PrimaryKeyColumnName": "string",
    "PrecisionRecallTradeoff": double,
    "AccuracyCostTradeoff": double,
    "EnforceProvidedLabels": true|false
  }
}

--role (string)

The name or Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the IAM role with the required permissions. The required permissions include both AWS Glue service role permissions to AWS Glue resources, and Amazon S3 permissions required by the transform.

This role needs AWS Glue service role permissions to allow access to resources in AWS Glue. See Attach a Policy to IAM Users That Access AWS Glue .

This role needs permission to your Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3) sources, targets, temporary directory, scripts, and any libraries used by the task run for this transform.

--glue-version (string)

This value determines which version of AWS Glue this machine learning transform is compatible with. Glue 1.0 is recommended for most customers. If the value is not set, the Glue compatibility defaults to Glue 0.9. For more information, see AWS Glue Versions in the developer guide.

--max-capacity (double)

The number of AWS Glue data processing units (DPUs) that are allocated to task runs for this transform. You can allocate from 2 to 100 DPUs; the default is 10. A DPU is a relative measure of processing power that consists of 4 vCPUs of compute capacity and 16 GB of memory. For more information, see the AWS Glue pricing page .

MaxCapacity is a mutually exclusive option with NumberOfWorkers and WorkerType .

If either NumberOfWorkers or WorkerType is set, then MaxCapacity cannot be set.

If MaxCapacity is set then neither NumberOfWorkers or WorkerType can be set.

If WorkerType is set, then NumberOfWorkers is required (and vice versa).

MaxCapacity and NumberOfWorkers must both be at least 1.

When the WorkerType field is set to a value other than Standard , the MaxCapacity field is set automatically and becomes read-only.

When the WorkerType field is set to a value other than Standard , the MaxCapacity field is set automatically and becomes read-only.

--worker-type (string)

The type of predefined worker that is allocated when this task runs. Accepts a value of Standard, G.1X, or G.2X.

For the Standard worker type, each worker provides 4 vCPU, 16 GB of memory and a 50GB disk, and 2 executors per worker.

For the G.1X worker type, each worker provides 4 vCPU, 16 GB of memory and a 64GB disk, and 1 executor per worker.

For the G.2X worker type, each worker provides 8 vCPU, 32 GB of memory and a 128GB disk, and 1 executor per worker.

MaxCapacity is a mutually exclusive option with NumberOfWorkers and WorkerType .

If either NumberOfWorkers or WorkerType is set, then MaxCapacity cannot be set.

If MaxCapacity is set then neither NumberOfWorkers or WorkerType can be set.

If WorkerType is set, then NumberOfWorkers is required (and vice versa).

MaxCapacity and NumberOfWorkers must both be at least 1.

Possible values:

Standard

G.1X

G.2X

--number-of-workers (integer)

The number of workers of a defined workerType that are allocated when this task runs.

If WorkerType is set, then NumberOfWorkers is required (and vice versa).

--timeout (integer)

The timeout of the task run for this transform in minutes. This is the maximum time that a task run for this transform can consume resources before it is terminated and enters TIMEOUT status. The default is 2,880 minutes (48 hours).

--max-retries (integer)

The maximum number of times to retry a task for this transform after a task run fails.

--tags (map)

The tags to use with this machine learning transform. You may use tags to limit access to the machine learning transform. For more information about tags in AWS Glue, see AWS Tags in AWS Glue in the developer guide.

key -> (string)

value -> (string)

Shorthand Syntax:

KeyName1=string,KeyName2=string

JSON Syntax:

{"string": "string"
  ...}

--cli-input-json | --cli-input-yaml (string) Reads arguments from the JSON string provided. The JSON string follows the format provided by --generate-cli-skeleton. If other arguments are provided on the command line, those values will override the JSON-provided values. It is not possible to pass arbitrary binary values using a JSON-provided value as the string will be taken literally. This may not be specified along with --cli-input-yaml.

--generate-cli-skeleton (string) Prints a JSON skeleton to standard output without sending an API request. If provided with no value or the value input, prints a sample input JSON that can be used as an argument for --cli-input-json. Similarly, if provided yaml-input it will print a sample input YAML that can be used with --cli-input-yaml. If provided with the value output, it validates the command inputs and returns a sample output JSON for that command.

--cli-auto-prompt (boolean) Automatically prompt for CLI input parameters.

See ‘aws help’ for descriptions of global parameters.
