Google is perhaps the company most associated with machine learning , thanks to its development of the open-source TensorFlow platform , as well as its association with one of the most advanced machine learning companies – DeepMind and its programs such as AlphaGo .

Intended for enterprise use , Google Cloud ’ s AI Platform combines and integrates different aspects of the machine learning pipeline , from data storage and labeling , to training to deployment .

Lucas Ngoo , co-founder and CTO of ecommerce marketplace Carousell said : “ In retail , it ’ s important to provide customers with easy access to alternative products or recommended add-ons . We train our own machine learning models with TensorFlow on AI Platform , and we automate the periodic retraining of these models with Kubeflow Pipelines . Together with AI Hub , useful for sharing models between data scientists , we can now iterate faster on our models , and automatically deploy them to staging and production .” JULY 2020
