AutoGluon Multimodal FAQ

There is no internet access in my deployment environment. What should I do?

When you have trained the predictor, try to save it with

predictor.save(SAVE_PATH, standalone=True)

Afterwards, the following .load() call can happen without internet access:

from autogluon.multimodal import MultiModalPredictor

predictor = MultiModalPredictor.load(SAVE_PATH)

Do I need to preprocess my text or image data before using AutoGluon Multimodal?

Usually you do not need to preprocess the text / image data. AutoGluon Multimodal has built-in support of text / image preprocessing. However, this won’t block you from appending custom preprocessing logic before feeding in the dataframe to AutoGluon Multimodal.

Is it possible to customize AutoGluon Multimodal?

Yes, check out the Multimodal Customization tutorial.

Can I use AutoGluon Multimodal in Kaggle Competitions?

Yes, we provided a script for building a standalone runnable package of AutoGluon: AutoGluon Multimodal Kaggle Standalone Package. We used this script in our examples about Petfinder Pawpularity and Feedback Prize - Predicting Effective Arguments. You may refer to these examples for more details.
