Google brings support for custom translations and text categorization to AutoML

Pre-trained machine learning models are good enough for many use cases, but to get the most out of this technology, you need custom models. Given that it’s not exactly easy to get started with machine learning, Google (and others) have opted for a hybrid approach that allows users to upload their own data to customize the existing models. Google’s version of this is AutoML, which until now only provided this capability for machine vision tasks under the AutoML Vision moniker.
Starting today, the company is adding two new capabilities to AutoML: AutoML Natural Language for predicting text categories and AutoML Translation, which allows users to upload their own language pairs to achieve better translations for texts in highly specialized fields, for example. In addition, Google is launching AutoML Vision out of preview and into its private beta.
