Google's Cloud Machine Learning service is now in public beta

Google announced a number of updates to its cloud computing services at a small event in San Francisco this morning. These updates touch Google's machine learning services, as well as its database and analytics services, and include an update to how it supports its users. The company's focus today, though, was clearly on machine learning. Google launched the private alpha of its machine learning services a few months ago and today, Google's infrastructure chief Urs Hoelzle announced that Cloud Machine Learning is now available to all businesses as a public beta. The service allows you to train machine learning models and promises that you can train models with terabytes of data within only a few hours.
