# ML Model

:lock: MLModel.**Show**

## Overview

The **ML Model** (short for **Machine Learning Model**) entity represents a machine learning model. In addition to the trained model, this object contains all the settings needed to transform a given **Data Set** (represented in the system through the **Data Set** entity) into data that can be used to train/validate/test the model using AutoML. The model itself can be deployed so that it can output predictions in real time as part of **Data Platform** workflows.
