Google Brain Team Hosting Reddit AMA (Ask Me Anything)

Want to learn more about machine learning at Google?  Have a specific question for the Google Brain team?  They are hosting an AMA on Reddit this week.  You can submit your questions now, and they will begin answering them on August 11.

We’re a group of research scientists and engineers that work on the Google Brain team. Our group’s mission is to make intelligent machines, and to use them to improve people’s lives. For the last five years, we’ve conducted research and built systems to advance this mission.

It is important to note this is NOT the Google RankBrain team, but rather the team with the AI behind it.  As they put it in the AMA announcement:

We disseminate our work in multiple ways:

• By publishing papers about our research (see publication list)
• By building and open-sourcing software systems like TensorFlow (see tensorflow.org and https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow)
• By working with other teams at Google and Alphabet to get our work into the hands of billions of people (some examples: RankBrain for Google Search, SmartReply for GMail, Google Photos, Google Speech Recognition, …)
• By training new researchers through internships and the Google Brain Residency program

You can submit your questions now at Reddit.

If you are interesting in machine learning, especially machine learning at Google, even the questions already submitted are interesting, as well as the answers from other members of the Reddit community.

It is also great that Google is undertaking this kind of format for one of their products.  If successful, it could lead to other teams doing the same.
