Hands-On Machine Learning on Google Cloud Platform

By: Giuseppe Ciaburro, V Kishore Ayyadevara, Alexis Perrier

Overview of this book

Google Cloud Machine Learning Engine combines the services of Google Cloud Platform with the power and flexibility of TensorFlow. With this book, you will not only learn to build and train different complexities of machine learning models at scale but also host them in the cloud to make predictions. This book is focused on making the most of the Google Machine Learning Platform for large datasets and complex problems. You will learn from scratch how to create powerful machine learning based applications for a wide variety of problems by leveraging different data services from the Google Cloud Platform. Applications include NLP, Speech to text, Reinforcement learning, Time series, recommender systems, image classification, video content inference and many other. We will implement a wide variety of deep learning use cases and also make extensive use of data related services comprising the Google Cloud Platform ecosystem such as Firebase, Storage APIs, Datalab and so forth. This will enable you to integrate Machine Learning and data processing features into your web and mobile applications. By the end of this book, you will know the main difficulties that you may encounter and get appropriate strategies to overcome these difficulties and build efficient systems.

Natural Language API

The Google Cloud Natural Language API reveals the structure and meaning of text by offering powerful machine learning models in an easy-to-use REST API. You can use it to extract information about people, places, events, and much more, that are mentioned in text documents, news articles, or blog posts. You can also use it to understand the sentiment about your product on social media, or to parse intent from customer conversations happening in a call center or a messaging app. You can analyze the text uploaded in your request, or integrate it with with your document storage on Google Cloud storage.

The Cloud Natural Language API can be found by searching for it in your console, as follows:

Similar to the Translation API, we do not have to create credentials for this API if at least one API...
