A Glance on Advancements in Google Cloud AI

Google's AI 

For Google-based platforms, AI is not a new norm. In a recent I/O meeting, Google announced new AI innovations that focus on deep learning and responsible deployment of customer experience. The smart tools also look forward to developing a digital ecosystem that breaks down the complexity of machine language and technicalities. Here are some of the top-notch AI models you must know to prepare your business for the next-level transformation: 

1. Language Model for AI Application

Sensibility, specificity, interestingness, and factuality are things consumers look forward to in digital interactions. Your customers can search for anything. Sometimes they forget the exact name of the product, or there might be regional vocals for certain products. Diversity in languages, regional usages, and dialects was quite perplexing for the search engines to figure out what exactly the users want. 

For responding with sensibility in conversation, it was necessary to develop a natural language processor that conceptualizes user demands by understanding the relationship between words in a sentence. Finally, to facilitate open-ended conversation on the webspace, Google has built an AI-based Language Model that provides insightful and witty remarks by replicating human instincts through neural network architecture.

Language Model for Dialogue Application or LaMDS is a revolution in conversation technology that duplicates human-like conversation in digital space. Unlike other chatbots, LaMDA's flexibility and adaptability in acquiring nuances of language help retailers and customers to indulge in meaningful interactions by understanding the context of the conversation. 

Building humanness in interaction is the next big thing Google is expecting through its AI platform. LaMDA promises more accessibility and easy access to information.  

2. Project Starline for Holographic Portrayal
