Reference documentation and code samples for the Google Cloud Recommendation Engine V1beta1 Client class FeatureMap.
FeatureMap represents extra features that customers want to include in the
recommendation model for catalogs/user events as categorical/numerical
features.
Generated from protobuf message google.cloud.recommendationengine.v1beta1.FeatureMap
Categorical features that can take on one of a limited number of possible values. Some examples would be the brand/maker of a product, or country of a customer. Feature names and values must be UTF-8 encoded strings. For example: { "colors": {"value": ["yellow", "green"]}, "sizes": {"value":["S", "M"]}
Numerical features. Some examples would be the height/weight of a product, or age of a customer. Feature names must be UTF-8 encoded strings. For example: { "lengths_cm": {"value":[2.3, 15.4]}, "heights_cm": {"value":[8.1, 6.4]} }
