Erroneous prediction values from Batch Predictions in Vertex AI

[Jack Carlson]

Hi, 

I am running into an issue where making a batch prediction on my trained model is giving me predicted values that fall nowhere within the bounds of my MAE (4,600.597), RMSE (9,881.82).  Here is a sample of the predictions used for testing the model while training it, you can see that the predicted price is typically not far from the actual price. 

However, when testing on live data which does not have a price assigned yet to predict the price, I am getting wildly inaccurate values as seen here.  As you can see I am getting negative price values and prices in the hundreds of thousands for listings which are in reality nowhere near that. 

Here are the steps I am taking:

1.

Please let me know what I am missing and how I can troubleshoot. Thank you very much.

Sincerely,

Jack Carlson
