Learning from Smart Software from the GOOG
September 1, 2016
I noted “5 Lessons from Google’s Machine Learning Development.” Earlier we pointed to a number of papers by Googlers. The papers revealed some of the innovations from Google’s investments in smart software. Now a wizard has extracted the best from Google’s years-long and millions deep work in machine learning.
What are those lessons, pray tell? Here’s our interpretation of the nuggets:
- Google can recognize a cat in a picture. No human tells the software what a cat is.,
- Google’s Deep Mind is working on an artificial brain. Some lesson, eh?
- Google runs an in company smart software training program. Ten percent of the company’s tens of thousands of engineers are into machine learning. The longest journey begins with a single step, but that’s another guy’s lesson.
- Google uses smart software to answer email. Yep, looking for exclamation points is a good lesson.
- Magenta. That’s the Google system to write songs. Sing a happy tune. Perhaps an advertising jingle like “See the USA the Google way”?
Informed? Neither were the humanoids at Beyond Search. Our addled goose loved these lessons, however.
