predict_by_url(url, lang=None, is_video=False, min_value=None, max_concepts=None, select_concepts=None)

predict a model with url

Parameters:
  • url – publicly accessible url of an image
  • lang – language to predict, if the translation is available
  • is_video – whether this is a video
  • min_value – threshold to cut the predictions, 0-1.0
  • max_concepts – max concepts to keep in the predictions, 0-200
  • select_concepts – a list of concepts that are selected to be exposed
Returns:

the prediction of the model in JSON format

send_concept_feedback(input_id, url, concepts=None, not_concepts=None, feedback_info=None)

Send feedback for this model

Parameters:
  • input_id – input id for the feedback
  • url – the url of the input
  • concepts – concepts that are present
  • not_concepts – concepts that aren’t present
  • feedback_info – feedback info
Returns:

None

send_region_feedback(input_id, url, concepts=None, not_concepts=None, regions=None, feedback_info=None)

Send feedback for this model

Parameters:
  • input_id – input id for the feedback
  • url – the input url
Returns:

None

train(sync=True, timeout=60)

train the model in synchronous or asynchronous mode. Synchronous will block until the model is trained, async will not.

Parameters:
  • sync – indicating synchronous or asynchronous, default is True
  • timeout – Used when sync=True. Num. of seconds we should wait for training to complete.
Returns:

the Model object

update(action='merge', model_name=None, concepts_mutually_exclusive=None, closed_environment=None, concept_ids=None)

Update the model attributes. The name of the model, list of concepts, and the attributes concepts_mutually_exclusive and closed_environment can be changed. Note this is a overwriting change. For a valid call, at least one or more attributes should be specified. Otherwise the call will be just skipped without error.

Parameters:
  • action – the way to patch the model: [‘merge’, ‘remove’, ‘overwrite’]
  • model_name – name of the model
  • concepts_mutually_exclusive – whether the concepts are mutually exclusive
  • closed_environment – whether negative concepts should be taken into account during training
  • concept_ids – a list of concept ids
Returns:

the Model object

Examples

>>> model = self.app.models.get('model_id')
>>> model.update(model_name="new_model_name")
>>> model.update(concepts_mutually_exclusive=False)
>>> model.update(closed_environment=True)
>>> model.update(concept_ids=["bird", "hurd"])
>>> model.update(concepts_mutually_exclusive=True, concept_ids=["bird", "hurd"])

Search Syntax

class clarifai.rest.client.SearchTerm

Clarifai search term interface. This is the base class for InputSearchTerm and OutputSearchTerm

It is used to build SearchQueryBuilder

class clarifai.rest.client.InputSearchTerm(url=None, input_id=None, concept=None, concept_id=None, value=True, metadata=None, geo=None)

Clarifai Input Search Term for an image search. For input search, you can specify search terms for url string match, input_id string match, concept string match, concept_id string match, and geographic information. Value indicates whether the concept search is a NOT search

Examples

>>> # search for url, string match
>>> InputSearchTerm(url='http://blabla')
>>> # search for input ID, string match
>>> InputSearchTerm(input_id='site1_bla')
>>> # search for annotated concept
>>> InputSearchTerm(concept='tag1')
>>> # search for not the annotated concept
>>> InputSearchTerm(concept='tag1', value=False)
>>> # search for metadata
>>> InputSearchTerm(metadata={'key':'value'})
>>> # search for geo
>>> InputSearchTerm(geo=Geo(geo_point=GeoPoint(-40, 30),
>>>                 geo_limit=GeoLimit('withinMiles', 10)))
class clarifai.rest.client.OutputSearchTerm(url=None, base64=None, input_id=None, concept=None, concept_id=None, value=True, crop=None)

Clarifai Output Search Term for image search. For output search, you can specify search term for url, base64, and input_id for visual search, or specify concept and concept_id for string match. Value indicates whether the concept search is a NOT search

Examples

>>> # search for visual similarity from url
>>> OutputSearchTerm(url='http://blabla')
>>> # search for visual similarity from base64 encoded image
>>> OutputSearchTerm(base64='sdfds')
>>> # search for visual similarity from input id
>>> OutputSearchTerm(input_id='site1_bla')
>>> # search for predicted concept
>>> OutputSearchTerm(concept='tag1')
>>> # search for not the predicted concept
>>> OutputSearchTerm(concept='tag1', value=False)
class clarifai.rest.client.SearchQueryBuilder(language=None)

Clarifai Image Search Query Builder

This builder is for advanced search use ONLY.

If you are looking for simple concept search, or simple image similarity search, you should use one of the existing functions search_by_annotated_concepts, search_by_predicted_concepts, search_by_image or search_by_metadata

Currently the query builder only supports a list of query terms with AND. InputSearchTerm and OutputSearchTerm are the only terms supported by the query builder

Examples

>>> qb = SearchQueryBuilder()
>>> qb.add_term(term1)
>>> qb.add_term(term2)
>>>
>>> app.inputs.search(qb)
>>>
>>> # for search over translated output concepts
>>> qb = SearchQueryBuilder(language='zh')
>>> qb.add_term(term1)
>>> qb.add_term(term2)
>>>
>>> app.inputs.search(qb)
add_term(term)

add a search term to the query. This can search by input or by output. Construct the term argument with an InputSearchTerm or OutputSearchTerm object.

dict()

construct the raw query for the RESTful API
