1. Abstract
A Cloud-Based ML Prediction Platform enables users to upload datasets, run machine learning models, and generate predictions through a web application hosted on the cloud. It integrates cloud computing with machine learning to provide scalable, accessible, and efficient prediction services. The platform supports model selection, data processing, prediction results, and visualization without requiring users to configure a local machine learning environment.
2. Objectives
- To deploy machine learning models on cloud infrastructure.
- To provide online prediction services through a web interface.
- To support dataset uploads and model selection.
- To generate predictions efficiently.
- To enable scalable access to ML applications.
- To visualize and download prediction results.
3. Existing System
Traditional ML applications often run on local computers and require users to install libraries, configure environments, and manage computing resources.
Disadvantages:
- Requires local software installation.
- Limited computing resources.
- Difficult to access models remotely.
- Deployment and maintenance can be complex.
- Scaling for multiple users is challenging.
4. Proposed System
The proposed platform hosts trained machine learning models on cloud infrastructure and exposes them through APIs. Users can upload input data, select an available model, and receive predictions through a web dashboard. The backend processes requests, executes the selected model, and returns results with visualizations.
Key Features:
- User authentication and dashboard.
- Dataset upload and validation.
- Multiple ML model support.
- Cloud-hosted prediction APIs.
- Real-time prediction responses.
- Results visualization and download.
- Model performance monitoring.
