Encoder Embeddings for Object2Vec

Due to GPU memory scarcity, the INFERENCE_PREFERRED_MODE environment variable can be specified to optimize on whether the Data Formats for Object2Vec Inference or the encoder embedding inference network is loaded into GPU. If the majority of your inference is for encoder embeddings, specify INFERENCE_PREFERRED_MODE=embedding. The following is a Batch Transform example of using 4 instances of p3.2xlarge that optimizes for encoder embedding 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': 'embedding'},  # only useful with GPU
                              output_path=output_s3_path)

{"in0": [774, 14, 21, 206]}

In both of these formats, you specify only one input type: “in0” or “in1.” The inference service then invokes the corresponding encoder and outputs the embeddings for each of the instances.

The vector length of the embeddings output by the inference service is equal to the value of one of the following hyperparameters that you specify at training time: enc0_token_embedding_dim, enc1_token_embedding_dim, or enc_dim.
