Extending Applications with Google Cloud Machine Learning APIs
The previous chapter covered Google Services that we can use as building blocks for our applications and services to make our development faster. Another way of achieving this purpose is using public APIs to integrate advanced services, providing features that we wouldn’t be able to develop otherwise due to limitations in our budget, time, or even our knowledge and skills.
Google Cloud provides some remarkably interesting machine learning models that have been trained with huge amounts of data and can help us convert our unstructured data into structured data, a topic we will cover at the beginning of this chapter.
These models can be easily integrated into our code using their corresponding Application Programming Interface (API) and will add useful features to our applications, such as audio-to-text conversion, text translation, or insight extraction from text, images, or videos.
