  • Cool.

  • Hello, everyone.

  • Hey.

  • Good morning.

  • Thanks for coming here.

  • It's probably been a long week.

  • The last couple of days have been crazy here,

  • and the traffic's not been fun either.

  • So hopefully it's been working all well for you guys.

  • Some of you have made your way from a different parts

  • of the country, many different areas.

  • But I hope it's been worth it.

  • And there's a lot of interesting things that we've been doing.

  • So we want to talk a little bit about some of them.

  • You've heard our keynotes and the great products we have,

  • et cetera.

  • Today I'm going to talk a little bit about machine learning,

  • right?

  • The title says machine learning is not

  • the future, which is kind of weird

  • given that we're talking about machine learning in everything

  • we're doing here.

  • But the point that I wanted to bring across here

  • is it's not really the future.

  • It's part of everything we have today

  • as you're seeing without products as all the things

  • that we're talking about.

  • We're using machine learning today

  • in everything we're doing.

  • And I want to talk about some of that

  • and tell you how you can do that too.

  • But first, let's start with this all started.

  • So and this goes back to 1997.

  • I don't know how many of you remember this Tik-Tok

  • from "The Wizard of Oz."

  • He's one of the early versions of robots in modern times,

  • really.

  • Although there are references to automatons going back

  • to the 5th Century B.C. And stuff,

  • even the Egyptians and others way back when.

  • But in the modern times, this is probably

  • one of the earliest references to something

  • that was close to a robot.

  • Any of you familiar with Tik-Tok?

  • How many of you are familiar with Tik-Tok?

  • Not too many.

  • Let me tell you a little bit about him.

  • So this one is-- in fact, the term robot

  • wasn't even coined back when Tik-Tok

  • was created by Frank Baum.

  • And what this robot would do is it had a winding thing.

  • And you needed to wind the robot.

  • And it would run.

  • And it could do pretty much what a human could do but not

  • really be alive.

  • And it was a great reference to things

  • that we've always wanted to do.

  • And so a lot of this AI and robotics

  • and a lot of these things have been part of science fiction

  • for a very, very long time.

  • In fact, a lot of what we do today in science

  • has been driven by people, literally authors, et cetera,

  • are able to really build up and think about what

  • the future might be like.

  • This is one example, but there are many, many more.

  • For example, if some of you have read Asimov,

  • he has a bunch of books.

  • And he has this whole robotics cities,

  • again way back in the '30s where he talks about robots

  • and how they might be like and the kind

  • of things that come with it.

  • And that was very interesting.

  • A lot of people over the years have

  • been inspired by these science fiction books and movies

  • to do a lot of interesting things.

  • Another example of that is back in the '70s

  • from "The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy"

  • there is this robot called Marvin,

  • which is this depressed-- it's always depressing.

  • He's always talking about these things he's not happy about.

  • He's just too smart for all the things happening it.

  • And it's really a great example of what

  • people have been thinking about what's

  • going to happen in the future.

  • And now going to another example,

  • "Star Trek," another thing.

  • The example that I put here, you can

  • go to Data in "Star Trek" who talks about-- this

  • is a poem he composes, which I thought was pretty funny,

  • and how people have been thinking about AIs

  • and what they would do and what they

  • would be doing in the future.

  • In this case, again, it's like a robot,

  • like a humanoid, somebody who can do a lot of things,

  • but is not quite human.

  • Then coming to more recent times, more closer to 2001,

  • if you've seen Steven Spielberg's movie "AI" called

  • "AI" itself, they have these mechanical robots

  • that can really do-- that look like humans, that

  • can do all kinds of things.

  • But they don't feel.

  • And then they build this little kid David,

  • who can actually feel and love as well,

  • and really changes how the perception is

  • and how they think about AI or what it means

  • to the people around them.

  • And then much more recently there's

  • this movie called "Her" in 2013, which

  • talks about AI without the shape, without the robotics,

  • and all of that.

  • But AI is just that live within your computer as an OS,

  • essentially, that can interact with you.

  • That's your assistant, but much more than that.

  • It actually feels as well.

  • It understands things, et cetera.

  • So all these are great.

  • There are so many different things

  • that people have been talking about,

  • people have been thinking about.

  • But these are still science fiction.

  • This is not really what machine learning is about today.

  • This has always been the future.

  • It's still the future.

  • Maybe at some point it will be a reality.

  • But that's not where we are today.

  • That's not what we're talking about.

  • But there are some real things that we can do today.

  • And those are some of the things that I'm

  • going to talk about today.

  • So we've actually made over the last few years

  • real progress in terms of all the different things that we

  • can do with AI with machine learning,

  • use all the products that you see around you.

  • And I'm going to talk a little bit about those.

  • There's so much in there that has

  • benefited from machine learning from what we call AI as well.

  • And so this is some of the smallest of products, really,

  • at Google that we made that used machine learning in some ways.

  • But at Google, anytime we think of a product

  • there's, of course, programming.

  • And you build it, and you do all sorts of things with it.

  • But machine learning is an integral part of everything

  • we do in building that, because we want these products to be

  • really smart to give you the right things,

  • to not just follow your actions, but really

  • give you the right things when you want them as you want them.

  • And I'll go over some examples of these in later slides

  • as well.

  • So before I go into other things,

  • let's just go a little bit into what deep learning

  • and machine learning is about.

  • And I'm just quickly going to give you some examples

  • on a website that we have.

  • So part of this slide is going to talk about TensorFlow.

  • And recently we put the site up called

  • playground.tensorflow.org that allows

  • you to play with neural nets that allows you to really do

  • different kinds of things, and allows you to really understand

  • how these networks work, how machine learning works,

  • and be able to play with some of those problems.

  • So I'm going to start with a very, very basic problem

  • classification.

  • The goal in this case is there are two kinds of clients.

  • I just want to classify that it's ARB, in this case

  • the orange or the blue ones.

  • And I'm going to use the very simplest case.

  • It's a very simple linear classification,

  • if any of you guys know what that is.

  • But the idea is you have some inputs.

  • In this case, the x-axis and the y-axis are inputs.

  • And based on those two inputs you

  • want to decide if it's a blue one or an orange one.

  • And so what this model is going to learn
