This document discusses how machine learning and the cloud are transforming one another. It explains that machine learning involves computers learning from data without being explicitly programmed. It then outlines how major companies are using machine learning and lists some examples. It describes how the cloud is allowing more organizations to leverage machine learning by providing services that can analyze large amounts of data. Finally, it provides details on Google Cloud's machine learning services and tools.

1. MACHINE LEARNING AND
THE CLOUD
Andrew Bogard

2. WHAT IS MACHINE LEARNING?
• “Machine learning is the science of getting computers to act without being explicitly
programmed”
• As more data is introduced, computer programs teach themselves to change and
grow

3. WHOSE USING IT?
• Popular companies include: Google, Amazon, Netflix, Facebook
• Finance and Investment Banking companies
• Gaming companies
• Blizzard, Valve

4. VIDEO: ADD IN THE CLOUD

5. HOW THE CLOUD IS REVOLUTIONIZING ML
• “As more machine learning services are put in the cloud, enterprises will be able to
use the service to make sense of the huge amounts of data they are amassing.”
• No longer just “a place to store data”
• ML used to require high levels of intelligence
• Microsoft Azure
• Googles Cloud Vision API

6. GOOGLE CLOUD MACHINE LEARNING
• Customizable and fully managed service
• TensorFlow graph
• Google Translate and Google Speech API
• Google Vision API
• Faces, landmarks, logos, etc.
• Wix Company
• More accessible platform to broad aspect of people

7. DISCUSSION
• Do you agree that the Cloud is transforming Machine Learning?
• How is this relevant to us as IS developers?
