Google’s new website to help people learn about AI
03 Mar 2018
Google has developed a new website called 'Learn with Google AI' that offers access to educational resources around machine learning (ML) and artificial intelligence (AI) to all.
The educational resources, developed by ML experts at the company, will cater to everyone, from beginners to researchers looking for advanced tutorials.
In addition to content that will serve anyone looking to "learn about core ML concepts, develop and hone ML skills, and apply ML to real-world problems," the website offers a new Machine Learning Crash Course (MLCC).
The free educational course offers exercises, interactive visualisations, and instructional videos which will help make machine learning concepts easier to understand.
The 15-hour course can be availed by newcomers also people having no machine learning experience.
However, according to Google, students should have proficiency at least in intro-level algebra, programming basics, and Python.
According to commentators, MLCC, featuring more than 40 exercises and lectures from Google researchers, is the first of many such upcoming courses and resources on the website.
"We believe it's important that the development of AI reflects as diverse a range of human perspectives and needs as possible," Zuri Kemp, programme manager for Google's machine learning education.
"So, Google AI is making it easier for everyone to learn ML by providing a huge range of free, in-depth educational content," Kemp added.
People interested can access the resources at accai.google/education.
The new Machine Learning Crash Course (MLCC) helps people learn the concepts using TensorFlow (TF) APIs. According to commentators, many Google services and features like search and voice recognition have the ability to translate the text using TensorFlow.
In simple words, it is an open source software library mainly used to power AI related functions.
Kemp wrote in a blog post, ''We believe it's important that the development of AI reflects as diverse a range of human perspectives and needs as possible.''
