/ how it works /

Live in weeks, not months.

We assess your Malta BigQuery datasets for ML readiness — volume, quality, label availability, and feature richness — and define the prediction task with measurable success criteria.

We design and implement SQL-based feature engineering transformations in BigQuery, handling categorical variables, time-based features, missing values, and training/evaluation splits.

We train BigQuery ML models with appropriate hyperparameter configurations and evaluate performance on held-out Malta business data using business-relevant metrics beyond standard ML benchmarks.

We build scheduled prediction pipelines that generate fresh predictions as new Malta data arrives — writing results to BigQuery tables accessible to downstream BI and operational systems.

We connect BigQuery ML predictions to Looker or Looker Studio dashboards for Malta business users, and integrate prediction outputs into operational systems where they inform decisions.

We implement prediction quality monitoring and establish retraining schedules appropriate for your Malta business data velocity and model drift tolerance.

BigQuery ML FAQ

What ML models can be built with BigQuery ML?
BigQuery ML supports linear regression, logistic regression, k-means clustering, matrix factorisation, time series forecasting (ARIMA+), deep neural networks via TensorFlow, boosted trees (XGBoost), and random forests. It also supports importing TensorFlow models and calling Vertex AI and Gemini remote models. Neural AI selects the appropriate model type for each Malta business prediction task.
How does BigQuery ML pricing work?
BigQuery ML training uses BigQuery's standard compute pricing — billed per byte processed for on-demand billing, or covered by flat-rate reservations. For Malta businesses already on BigQuery flat-rate pricing, ML training may have zero marginal cost. Prediction (ML.PREDICT queries) follows the same billing model as standard queries.
When should Malta businesses use BigQuery ML versus Vertex AI?
BigQuery ML suits use cases where your data is already in BigQuery and you need predictive analytics with minimal infrastructure overhead. Vertex AI suits custom model development, complex deep learning, real-time serving endpoints, or MLOps requirements beyond BigQuery's scheduled query model. Many Malta businesses use both: BigQuery ML for analytical predictions and Vertex AI for real-time production endpoints.
Can BigQuery ML handle time series forecasting for Malta business data?
Yes. BigQuery ML's ARIMA_PLUS model handles time series forecasting natively in SQL, including automatic seasonality detection and holiday effects. Malta businesses use BigQuery ML time series for demand forecasting, sales prediction, resource planning, and financial projections. Neural AI evaluates forecast accuracy on representative Malta historical data before production deployment.
How does BigQuery ML integrate with Looker and BI tools?
BigQuery ML prediction results are written to standard BigQuery tables, queryable by Looker, Looker Studio, and other BigQuery-connected BI tools. Neural AI builds Looker Explores and Looker Studio dashboards that surface ML predictions alongside business context, making model outputs accessible to Malta business users without technical SQL knowledge.
What data does BigQuery ML require for effective models?
Minimum data requirements depend on model type. Classification and regression typically require thousands to tens of thousands of labelled examples. Time series forecasting performs better with years of historical data and consistent granularity. Neural AI assesses Malta business data readiness during discovery and advises on data quality investments needed before effective ML is achievable.
