Overview of this book

While AI has become an integral part of every organization today, the development of large-scale ML solutions and management of complex ML workflows in production continue to pose challenges for many. Google’s unified data and AI platform, Vertex AI, directly addresses these challenges with its array of MLOPs tools designed for overall workflow management. This book is a comprehensive guide that lets you explore Google Vertex AI’s easy-to-advanced level features for end-to-end ML solution development. Throughout this book, you’ll discover how Vertex AI empowers you by providing essential tools for critical tasks, including data management, model building, large-scale experimentations, metadata logging, model deployments, and monitoring. You’ll learn how to harness the full potential of Vertex AI for developing and deploying no-code, low-code, or fully customized ML solutions. This book takes a hands-on approach to developing u deploying some real-world ML solutions on Google Cloud, leveraging key technologies such as Vision, NLP, generative AI, and recommendation systems. Additionally, this book covers pre-built and turnkey solution offerings as well as guidance on seamlessly integrating them into your ML workflows. By the end of this book, you’ll have the confidence to develop and deploy large-scale production-grade ML solutions using the MLOps tooling and best practices from Google.

ML APIs for Vision, NLP, and Speech

Research teams at Google have put their decades of research and experience into creating state-of-the-art solutions for many complex problems. Some of these solutions, which include Vision AI, Translation AI, Natural Language AI, and Speech AI, are quite general-purpose and can be readily leveraged to get insights from complex and unstructured data. These solutions are provided as a service and thus as customers, we don’t have to worry about managing the infrastructure, availability, or scaling of these products. Many popular Google products, such as Maps, Photos, Gmail, YouTube, and others make use of these products every day to provide AI-driven experiences.

In this chapter, we will look at some of these popular offerings and understand what kind of problems can be solved using them. The main topics that will be covered in this chapter are as follows:

  • Vision AI on Google Cloud
  • Translation AI on Google Cloud
  • Natural Language...
