Select and load data from a Hugging Face connection

Once you have created a connection, you can select data and load it into a Qlik Sense app or script. oad data in Data load editor or Script.

In Data load editor or Script, basic communications with a Hugging Face analytic connection are formulated as a script with the following components and possibly others, depending on the connector configuration:

• Table (Resident Table) containing the request field (Data Field) you want to send to Hugging Face. Depending on the configuration you are using, additional fields might also need to be present in the input table.

• Hugging Face load statement, which communicates to Hugging Face through your connection.

In an advanced setup, the request fields and association field could technically be defined in a table containing other fields. However, the request fields and association field must be contained in the same input table. It is important to be aware that when you link these fields to fields in your data model, responses are generated for each field value.

Creating the table of data to be sent to Hugging Face

First, a table must be loaded which contains the data you are sending to the model as a request. This table must consist of a single column of data (in certain configurations, this might be more than one column) within which each cell represents text to be completed by the model. There can be a second additional field for the Association Field, but this needs to match the field name specified in the configuration. This is a special field that won’t be sent to Hugging Face, but is attached to the responses for the purpose of integrating the interaction data into the data model.

Considerations for data request volumes

When you load data, every row in the request field will be sent to Hugging Face. Before you interact with a third-party platform, make sure you're aware of how the number of requests, volume of data included in your requests, and your connector configuration affect your financial agreement and billing arrangements with the third party. Higher usage of the external platform could result in higher costs incurred.

Creating the Hugging Face load statement

You also need to create a load statement, using the extension syntax, to communicate with Hugging Face. This part of the script references your Hugging Face connection and specifies the names of the table and fields you are using to send the request data (see above section). It loads a separate table which will contain the model's responses to each row in the request, among other data.

To generate this part of the script, you can use the Select data wizard for the connection you are using. This generates a template script including the names of the properties you provide.

Locate the connection you are using in the Data sources panel of Data load editor or Script, and click . This opens the Select data wizard.

When using the Select data wizard, you need to provide two properties:

• The name of the Resident Table. This is the table with the request being sent to Hugging Face.

• The name of the Data Field. This is the field containing the request data being sent to Hugging Face. Note that for some Hugging Face models, there might be more than input field you need to send to the connector. However, the Data Field is always a single field in this wizard.

Alternatively, you can add this manually into the script editor without using the wizard.

When you click Insert script, the new table is added to the load script. You can now load the data, inspect the resulting data model, and use the data to create analytics content in your app.
