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.

Google Cloud Storage

Cloud storage is a model for storing data on computers available on the network, where the data is stored on multiple servers, real and/or virtual, generally hosted at third-party facilities or on dedicated servers. Through this model, it is possible to access personal or business information, whether it be videos, music, photographs, databases, or files, without knowing the physical location of the data, from any part of the world with any suitable device. The advantages of this methodology are numerous: infinite capacity of memory space, payment only of the actual amount of memory used, files accessible from anywhere in the world, highly reduced maintenance, and greater security, as the files are protected from theft, fire, or damage that may occur on local computers.

Google Cloud Storage is the Google proposal for Cloud storage: it's a developer service...
