Feature

The following BigQuery ML point-in-time lookup functions are now
generally available (GA). These functions let you specify a point-in-time cutoff when retrieving
features for training a model or running inference, in order to avoid
data leakage.

• Use the
  ML.FEATURES_AT_TIME function
  to use the same point-in-time cutoff for all entities when retrieving features.
• Use the
  ML.ENTITY_FEATURES_AT_TIME function
  to retrieve features from multiple points in time for multiple entities.

Feature

The following AI features in BigQuery are now in
preview:

• The ability to process documents from BigQuery
  object tables
  by doing the following:

  • Creating a
    remote model
    based on the
    Document AI
    API, including
    specifying a document processor
    to use.

  • Using the
    ML.PROCESS_DOCUMENT function
    with a Document AI-based remote model to process the documents.

    Try this feature with the
    Process documents with the ML.PROCESS_DOCUMENT function
    how-to.

• The ability to transcribe audio files from BigQuery
  object tables
  by doing the following:

  • Creating a
    remote model
    based on the
    Speech-to-Text
    API,
    including specifying a speech recognizer
    to use.

  • Using the
    ML.TRANSCRIBE function
    with a Speech-to-Text-based remote model to transcribe the audio files.

    Try this feature with the
    Transcribe audio files with the ML.TRANSCRIBE function
    how-to.
