IoT Neural Net Machine Learning Instant API

Questions

I tested the Classify algo’s on a big data set of text message conversations between users and business IoT devices. The Neral Net was fantastically more accurate than the rest.

It took a long time to run, which is fine. The problem I am facing is:

After uploading it to the cloud and creating API access, the API is slower than dirt. It times out even. However, when I classify samples in the notebook it is lightning fast as always.

My code:

Quiet[CloudDeploy[
  APIFunction[{"text" -> 
     "String" -> "Please turn off the lights at 10pm."}, 
   Get["BtNeuralNetwork"][#text] &], 
  Permissions -> "Public"]]

I used “CloudGet” and the result was even slower. Not sure how that makes any sense.

I even tried compressing it before deploying using:

With[{c = Compress[c]}, 
 CloudEvaluate[Put[Uncompress[c], "BtNeuralNetwork"]]]

Nothing really makes a difference. The API is slow in responding. When I was using Markov it replied instantly on notebook and cloud. The neural net is same speed on notebook but not cloud. Obviously, “BtNeuralNetwork” is just the arbitrary name I gave the model. The fact that it responses correctly “when” it does respond tells me it’s working. I just can’t figure out how to speed up the response time.

I also tried finding a way to not “Get” the model every time and use a variable. However, I spent many hours and found no good tutorials or documentation on writing a simple if statement for testing whether the model we loaded already or not.

I tried:

If[BtNearalNetwork=="",Get["BtNeuralNetwork"][#text],BtNeuralNetwork[#text]]

Is it possible to post a complete code including Classify and data? If not data - just Classify referring to a training set (with a byte size of dataset mentioned) ? I do not understand where do you train your net (desktop or cloud). The more complete the discription of the problem the better it is to go about it.

Okay, like this?

Sample of training data:

(Debug) In[499]:= RandomSample[data, 10]

(Debug) Out[499]= {"id like you to contact me concerning this now" -> 
  "REQUEST TO BE CONTACTED", 
 "put me on ur list i need to get your txt messages" -> 
  "OPTIN GENERAL CONSENT", 
 "never send spam text messages to our phone" -> "REQUEST TO OPTOUT", 
 "love ya to the moon and back" -> "INITIAL LOVE YOU", 
 "i need to speak with a administrator straight away" -> 
  "REQUEST TO BE CONTACTED", 
 "holla back as well back to you too" -> "RESPONSE TO GREETING", 
 "what company working hours would you have" -> 
  "REQUEST FOR HOURS OF OPERATION", 
 "what time is ur store opened" -> "REQUEST FOR HOURS OF OPERATION", 
 "why r you mailing me all these kinds of texts" -> 
  "REQUEST FOR INTENT", 
 "love you with all my heart too" -> "RESPONSE TO LOVE YOU"}

Loading trained Neural Net:

c = Get["BtNeuralNetwork"]

ClassifierInformation[c]

Association[
"Method" -> "Neural network", "Number of classes" -> 33, 
 "Number of features" -> 1, "Number of training examples" -> 87740, 
 "Number of extracted features" -> 300, 
 "L1 regularization coefficient" -> 0, 
 "L2 regularization coefficient" -> 0.1, 
 "Number of hidden layers" -> 2, 
 "Hidden nodes" -> Row[{900, 900}, ","], 
 "Hidden layer activation functions" -> Row[{
   "Rectified Linear", "Rectified Linear"}, ","]]

Example input and classify result:

(Debug) In[497]:= c["please tell me more about your company"]

(Debug) Out[497]= "REQUEST FOR INFORMATION"

Yes, I trained the data on my Macbook Pro and then PUT it locally and then also PUT it in cloud. When I GET it locally or GET it from Cloud, it performs lightning fast on my laptop. The problem only happens when I ask it via API.

What is FileByteCount[“BtNeuralNetwork”]? And in an APIFunction, what is your Median First@AbsoluteTiming[Get[“BtNeuralNetwork”]]?

I changed the code to this:

Quiet[CloudDeploy[
  APIFunction[{"text" -> 
     "String" -> 
      "Why are you texting this to me?"}, {Get[
       "BtNeuralNetwork"][#text],
     fileCount = FileByteCount["BtNeuralNetwork"],
     loadTiming = 
      Median[First@AbsoluteTiming[Get["BtNeuralNetwork"]]]} &], 
  Permissions -> "Public"]]

Here is the API response I get:

{"REQUEST FOR INTENT", 134214106, Median[9.905657]}

Any updates? I am still stumped.
