New Machine Learning Platform by Google

It was announced by Google of a new machine learning platform which developers can use in their applications and solutions. 

It was presented at NEXT Google Cloud Platform user conference. It was stated by Google chairman Eric Schmidt "Google believes machine learning is “what’s next.”

The service is now available in limited preview and it was stated. “Major Google applications use Cloud Machine Learning, including Photos (image search), the Google app (voice search), Translate and Inbox (Smart Reply),” the company . “Our platform is now available as a cloud service to bring unmatched scale and speed to your business applications.”

Presently, Google’s Cloud Machine Learning platform consists of two parts: one that allows developers to build machine learning models from their own data, and another that offers developers a pre-trained model. To train or operate these machine learning models, developers can choose their data from tools such as Google Cloud Dataflow,Google BigQuery,Google Cloud Dataproc, Google Cloud Storage, and Google Cloud Datalab.

The pre-trained models include existing APIs like the Google Translate API and Cloud Vision API, but also new services like the Google Cloud Speech API. The Cloud Speech API powers Google’s own voice search and voice-enabled apps. It can do speech-to-text conversion for 80+ languages.

Artificial Intelligent Facebook Personal Digital Assistant

Facebook Personal Digital Assistant on Messenger App via Artificial Intelligence 

The messenger app has moved another level in terms of capabilities for its users, following this new capability. As a result this new offering is a competing solution with the other IT giants such as Apple Siri, Google and Microsoft Cortana in the digital personal assistant arena.

The Facebook Messenger lead David Marcus stated:

We are beginning to test a new service called M. M is a personal digital assistant inside of Messenger that completes tasks and finds information on your behalf. It’s powered by artificial intelligence that’s trained and supervised by people.

The differentiating factor from other Artificial Intelligence services currently available as from the examples mentioned above is that the facebook service called M is able to complete tasks on a user behalf.  Furthermore, it can also purchase items, organize orders to be delivered to your friends locations, book restaurants, travel arrangements, appointments and much more.
