Google Cloud Targets Machine Learning Developers -- ADTmag

At its GCP NEXT 2016 conference, the Google Cloud Platform team announced a new offering designed to mainstream the development of machine learning (ML) apps. Developers can now sign up for a limited preview of Google Cloud Machine Learning, a managed platform that helps build ML models with all kinds of data coming in all sizes. "Cloud Machine Learning will take machine learning mainstream, giving data scientists and developers a way to build a new class of intelligent applications," the company said in a blog post yesterday. "It provides access to the same technologies that power Google Now, Google Photos and voice recognition in Google Search as easy to use REST APIs." Google already has a portfolio of pre-trained ML models, and has added a new one, the Google Cloud Speech API, joining the likes of the Translate API and the Vision API.
