Evernote, the latest company to announce their move to Google Cloud Platform, said this week that part of the appeal of GCP is gaining access to “the same deep-learning technologies that power services like translation, photo management and voice search.” Evernote didn’t elaborate on exactly how machine learning might manifest in its productivity software, though, so we thought we’d share some other examples that we’ve come across.
First and foremost, who can forget Makoto Koike, the Japanese farmer who used the Google-developed machine learning library TensorFlow to learn to sort cucumbers according to complex traditional criteria?
Then there are the bright folks over at Google DeepMind and their paper on WaveNet, which generates speech that mimics the human voice with much more natural-sounding results than current text-to-speech systems. Or Google’s recent solutions document in which university art students “experiment with DeepDream algorithms to render digital artwork using machine intelligence.”
Meanwhile, Google Developer Advocate Sara Robinson has unearthed some very practical use cases for machine learning. Check out this post, in which she takes us on on a whirlwind tour of the Cloud Vision API to detect landmarks, and this post on how to use it to filter inappropriate content. She then embarks on a series of posts on using Google Cloud Natural Language with BigQuery. Here’s a post on analyzing twitter posts about the Rio Olympics, and another that compares tweets about Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump.
(Speaking of the Natural Language API, if you need a bit of a primer on how to integrate it into existing projects, check out this post from digital consultancy White October on how to connect Cloud Natural Language API with Python on Google App Engine. Thanks, guys, for as you put it, filling what was “a definite lack of a ‘hello world’ sample showing the basics of how to connect to and call the API.”)
But really, the use cases for machine learning are just early examples, and it’s anyone’s guess what tomorrow’s killer machine learning app will be (Diane Greene discusses some pretty compelling examples of using machine learning starting at the 10:00 minute mark).
Perhaps you’ll be the one to come up with the next great use case for machine learning? Increase your chances by signing up for the new Udacity class on deep learning. Over 61,000 students have already signed up for the free three-month class!

It’s here! HPE #Docker ready servers are now available. These servers are pre-configured, integrated and validated with commercially supported Docker Engine out of the box. Enterprises can ease the adoption of Docker through a trusted hardware platform.
Announced in June, the Docker and Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) partnership, has been called “The 10 Most Important Tech Partnerships In 2016 (so far),” by CRN as a way to bring infrastructure optimized Docker technology to enable a modern application platform for the enterprise.
Integrated, Validated and Supported
Docker ready servers are available for the HPE ProLiant, Cloudline, and Hyper Converged Systems. These servers come pre-installed with the commercially supported Docker Engine (CS Engine) and enterprise class support direct from HPE, backed by Docker. Whether deploying new servers or facing a hardware refresh, enterprises looking to adopt containerization can benefit from a simplified and repeatable deployment option on hardware they trust.
HPE Docker ready servers accelerate businesses time to value with everything needed in a single server to scale and support Docker environments, combining the hardware and OS you already use in your environment with the Docker CS Engine. Docker CS Engine is a commercially supported container runtime and native robust tooling that builds and runs Docker containers on any host. Once up and running, these Docker hosts can be a destination for any new Dockerized distributed application or containerized legacy application.
In our partnership with HPE, Docker ready servers are fully supported and guaranteed with enterprise L1/L2 support from HPE and consulting services in alignment with HPE’s technology solutions roadmaps and SLAs, providing a single source of Docker support. Businesses can choose from a full complement of technical support services, including 1-year, 3-year, 9×5, and 24&215;7 support, through HPE. In addition, HPE will provide technology assessments, design and implementation services for Docker (platform security, workload modernization consulting) from HPE Technology Services Consulting Services.
As teams scale their container environment and move from test/dev to production they can frictionless upgrade to Docker Datacenter, at any time. Docker Datacenter, our enterprise container management solution, provides end to end container, security, policy and controls across the application lifecycle without sacrificing application agility or portability. Docker Datacenter helps enterprises transform to a hybrid IT environment, from bare metal, virtual or cloud deployment models, open APIs and interfaces, to flexibility to support a wide variety of workflows.
Docker Ready Server Availability
The HPE Docker ready servers are available for purchase through any HPE reseller or Systems Integrator and directly through your HPE representative. To purchase, simply reach out to your trusted HPE business partner.
Included HPE server models and supported configurations
Currently Docker ready servers are available for HPE ProLiant, Cloudline and Hyper Converged Systems, with additional x86 server lines becoming available later this year. The Linux operating systems where CS Engine is available include Ubuntu, RHEL, SLES, CentOS and H Linux. Get more details on the exact version compatibility and interoperability here.
Business day and business critical levels of support are available to align to the relevant application SLAs in one or three year terms.

Twitter's rationale for spending $10 million for the rights to stream a package of 10 NFL games this season was simple: it believed airing live sports broadcasts on its platform, where people enthusiastically discuss the games, could help catalyze more of that behavior, and bring in some TV advertising dollars in the process. After streaming its first NFL game last night, the early fan engagement results look like Twitter made a good bet, according to data from the social analytics company SocialFlow.
Use of the Bills&039; #GoBills emoji-generating hashtag on Twitter increased from 11,039 mentions in Week 1 to 22,216 for last night&039;s Week 2 game, counting game day and the day following, an increase of 101%. The Jets&039; #JetUp hashtag went from 11,968 mentions to 24,742 in the same time span, a bump of 107%. Because the Thursday night game ended close to midnight eastern time, chatter spilled over into Friday — hence the metrics&039; two-day time span. SocialFlow has access to Twitter&039;s full firehose, so the numbers are global.
“The Twitter Live Stream of the New York Jets and Buffalo Bills positively and largely contributed to increasing the GoBills and JetUp hashtags,” Kleida Martiro, sr. analyst at SocialFlow, told BuzzFeed News.
The NFL streams are critical for Twitter, which is currently making a very large bet on premium, live content. Twitter has also struck streaming deals with the NHL and MLB, and is airing original live content from the upstart financial TV network Cheddar, and others. This week, Twitter released a handful of smart TV apps featuring premium live content and curated tweets from its Moments tab, which seems to show that they&039;re prioritizing this feature over its long-ago announced plan to expand Tweet character length, and even its reported goal to develop anti-harassment tools like keyword filtering.
“This may be [management&039;s] last opportunity to reignite growth in users, engagement and monetization,” Cantor Fitzgerald analyst Youssef Squali said of Twitter&039;s premium live-streaming efforts in a research note this week. “Failure to do so is likely to embolden shareholders to pressure the board to evaluate alternatives to maximize value, incl. [mergers and acquisitions] and taking the company private.”
For the first night at least, the results appeared promising for Twitter.

OpenStack Principles
A set of OpenStack principles is proposed [5] to accurately capture existing tribal knowledge as a prerequisite for being able to have an open and productive discussions about changing it.
Last time majority of the Technical Committee were together, it was realized that there were a set of unspoken assumptions carried and used to judge things.
These are being captured to empower everyone to actually be able challenge and discuss them.
The principles were started by various TC members who have governance history and know these principles. This was in attempt to document this history to commonly asked questions. These are not by any means final, and the community should participate in discussing them.
