Now that the buzz over Google Cloud Next 18 has subsided, Google is now taking the time to share more details with developers about the services it launched or updated recently.

The Cloud AutoML service is currently made up of three different services:

  • AutoML Vision: For customers who want to provide their own image datasets rather than use Google’s Cloud Vision API. Instead, they create their own unique ML model based on their collected image data. This still does not require an extensive machine learning or coding background.

  • AutoML Natural Language: This service helps with the prediction of custom text categories using labeled classifications. However, this is another service that allows the developer to create a more customized model instead of Google’s more generic model.

  • AutoML Translation: This ML model is built by providing translated language pairs to make custom translation models for different business uses. Once developed, they can be incorporated to translate the unique language used in various business areas such as finance, technology and medicine.

ALSO:

Microsoft began work on SharePoint Server 2019 and Project Server 2019 Previews.  General availability is expected in the second half of this year; expect the previews at the six different SharePoint Server sessions on deck at Microsoft Ignite in September 2018.

To reduce their OEM partners' challenge of keeping hardware drivers up to date with their operating systems, Microsoft has released an open source framework for their Surface hardware line's Driver Module Framework (DMF).

Enterprises looking to transition to Microsoft Teams in Office 365 can reference Microsoft's just-released documentation on how to create a change management strategy to work towards the adoption of Teams. For a wider overview of user management and education with Office 365, IT pros can reference "Managing changes in Office 365: An overview of resources."

Senior Content Producer, IT Pro Today (Informa Tech)

I served for 29 plus years in the U.S. Navy and retired as a Master Chief Petty Officer in November 2011. My work background in the Navy was telecommunications related so my hobby of computers fit well with what I did for the Navy. I consider myself a tech geek and enjoy most things in that arena.

My first website – AnotherWin95.com – came online in 1995. Back then I used GeoCities Web Hosting for it and WindowsObserver.com is the result of the work I have done on that site since 1995.

In January 2010 my community contributions were recognized by Microsoft when I received my first Most Valuable Professional (MVP) Award for the Windows Operating System. Since then I have been renewed as a Microsoft MVP each subsequent year since that initial award. I am also a member of the inaugural group of Windows Insider MVPs which began in 2016.

I previously hosted the Observed Tech PODCAST for 10 years and 317 episodes and now host a new podcast called Faith, Tech, and Space. 

I began contributing to Penton Technology websites in January 2015 and in April 2017 I was hired as the Senior Content Producer for Penton Technology which is now Informa Tech. In that role, I contribute to ITPro Today and cover operating systems, enterprise technology, and productivity.
