preprocessing in google cloud ml engine using google-api-php-client-services

Question

I am using google-api-php-client-services to train my data of my PHP website in google cloud. How do I do preprocessing in https://cloud.google.com/blog/big-data/2016/12/how-to-classify-images-with-tensorflow-using-google-cloud-machine-learning-and-cloud-dataflow using this library?

Is there any alternative to google-api-php-client to interact with ml_engine in PHP?

Answer 1

That is the only client library available for CMLE. But that client library only provides PHP wrappers for Google Cloud APIs such as CMLE's API

The actual preprocessing done in the blog post is written as a Dataflow job in Python. As the blog post describes to run it you have to execute a Python program.

You won't be able to write your Dataflow job using PHP.
