Christine & Ryan - Exploring Google Cloud Vision AI & Machine Learning Products

Presentation Overview:
Explore application development with Google Cloud Vision API, which can categorize photos, detect objects, identify landmarks, and extract corporate logos from images. From there, the sky's the limit with exploring the detected labels. We'll check out different photo-sharing accounts, and see what we can know about them all through their photos. This will use Google Cloud Platform, Ruby, with JSON formatted labels that are translated into a tag cloud with what activities are being displayed through the images and shows a cross-section of different technologies.
