AI for the Global Goals - Flood Forecasting

Since 2018, the Flood Forecasting team at Google Research has been working to apply advanced machine learning methods to a broad range of data sets, such as satellite imagery, river data, and weather data. These data sets help to generate high-quality flood forecasts that predict when rivers will overflow and the exact locations where flooding will take place.The system currently covers an area populated by more than 370 million people across several countries in South East Asia and Latin America. In 2021 the Flood Forecasting system reached 23 million people with more than 115 million notifications based on user location and flood maps. Flood Forecasting and alerting plans to expand globally in the near future to ensure everyone around the world can benefit from these early warnings.If you have five minutes and want to know how this works then watch this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mz0ikfuE_z0 Background to this post:In 2015, the UN set the Sustainable Development Goals, am

Building a Machine Learning Platform with Kubeflow and Ray on Google Kubernetes Engine

First trying ML in the cloud, many practitioners will start with fully managed ML platforms like Google Cloud’s Vertex AI. Fully-managed platforms abstract out many complexities to simplify the end-to-end workflow. However, like with most decisions, there are tradeoffs. Organizations may choose to build their own custom, self-managed ML platform for various reasons such as control and flexibility. Building your own platform gives you more control over your resources. You can implement unique resource utilization constraints, access permissions, and infrastructure strategies that fit your organization’s specific needs. You also get more flexibility over tools and frameworks. Since the system is completely open, you can integrate any ML tools that you already are using. And lastly, these benefits help avoid vendor lock-in because cloud-native platforms are by definition portable across cloud providers.Richard Liu, Senior Software Engineer, Google Kubernetes Engine and Winston Chiang, Pro

AI for Global Goals - Rainforest Connection

In 2015, the UN set the Sustainable Development Goals, ambitious targets for a better and more sustainable future by 2030. AI can reduce the time and resources needed to progress against some of the world's toughest challenges. Google.org is committing $25M to fund solutions accelerating progress towards the Global Goals. In this post, I will introduce Rainforest Connection, one of the Google.org grantees that uses AI to accomplish its mission.Rainforests naturally absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, making them a vital component in fighting climate change — but they are under profound threat from illegal logging - which accounts for more than half of logging in rainforests. Rainforest Connection develops acoustic monitoring technology that uses AI to protect vulnerable ecosystems by detecting threats like illegal logging in real time. The solar-powered acoustic devices used for threat detection, called RFCx Guardians, transmit audio to the cloud. Then, AI analyzes and classifie

Latest update on enabling real-time AI with Streaming Ingestion in Vertex AI

We know how difficult it is to solve problems like fraud detection, ad targeting, and recommendation engines, which require near real-time predictions. The accuracy of these predictions is heavily reliant on access to the most recent data, with delays of just a few seconds making all the difference.However, it is difficult to set up the infrastructure required to support high-throughput updates and low-latency data retrieval.Erwin Huizenga and Kaz Sato, Developer Advocate, Google Cloud wrote an article based on the latest Vertex AI updates. Vertex AI Matching Engine and Feature Store will support real-time Streaming Ingestion as Preview features. With Streaming Ingestion for Matching Engine, a fully managed vector database for vector similarity search, items in an index are updated continuously and reflected in similarity search results immediately. With Streaming Ingestion for Feature Store, you can retrieve the latest feature values with low latency for highly accurate predictions, a

Take your ML models from prototype to production with Vertex AI

You’re working on a new machine learning problem, and the first environment you use is a notebook. Your data is stored on your local machine, and you try out different model architectures and configurations, executing the cells of your notebook manually each time. This workflow is great for experimentation, but you quickly hit a wall when it comes time to elevate your experiments up to production scale. Suddenly, your concerns are more than just getting the highest accuracy score.Click on the link below to read it more detail.https://cloud.google.com/blog/products/ai-machine-learning/go-from-a-notebook-to-a-production-ml-model

Learning to Walk in the Wild from Terrain Semantics-Google AI

Presenting a hierarchical framework to learn semantic-aware locomotion skills for off-road locomotion. Using less than 30 minutes of human demonstration data, the framework learns to adjust the speed and gait of the robot based on the perceived semantics of the environment. In “Learning Semantics-Aware Locomotion Skills from Human Demonstrations”, Google AI design a hierarchical learning framework to improve a robot’s ability to traverse complex, off-road environments. Unlike previous approaches that focus on environment geometry, such as terrain shape and obstacle locations, Google AI focus on environment semantics, such as terrain type (grass, mud, etc.) and contact properties, which provide a complementary set of information useful for off-road environments.Click on the link below to read it more detail.https://ai.googleblog.com/2022/09/learning-to-walk-in-wild-from-terrain.html
