Connectors overview

The first step to create machine learning models is to import a dataset. You can import files with data from your local system or from in-house data connectors such as Google Cloud Platform (CGP), MongoDB, MySQL, Amazon S3, Azure Blob Storage, Amazon Redshift, Snowflake or Fivetran connectors by establishing a connection. Once the connection to a data connector is established successfully, you can import data stored in its storage account. Subsequently, the imported files can be uploaded onto the canvas to build flows and make predictions. You can export the generated output after running the data transformations to the configured connector.

You can upload the files with categorical, numeric, time series and text data. Various file formats that are supported by this platform include - .csv,.xls,.xlsx, and .parquet.
