Google I/O 2022 turns out to be a curious day for developers across the world. I/O stands for slogan innovation in the open. According to the slogan, Google rolls out new features, products, and services to the world from Mountain View, California, every year.

Let’s take a deep dive into the Google I/O Day 1 of 2022.

Google has been focusing on Deeping and understanding the information for the year together; During the pandemic, maps produced accurate information on availability and vaccination sites near the user location. The flood alerts have helped over 23 million people in India and Bangladesh. Subsequently, it helped in the quick and easy evacuation of thousands of people. The air raid alerts and google translator served as a magic spell for the people in the war zone of Ukraine.

Google Translate:

A testament to how knowledge and computing come together is real-time translation. Translation models are trained with bilingual text. Google has now developed a monolingual approach using machine learning. This model will translate the new language without direct translation by collaborating with native speakers and institutions. 24 new languages are now added to Google Translate.

Be there in a blink – Google Maps

Advances in artificial intelligence have premiered the navigation aspect of Google Maps. Computer vision has now made a breakthrough in recognizing remote areas and buildings. It’s found that Google has doubled its mapping scale in India and Indonesia. The immersive view is the second advancement in google maps. It allows us to pan around the site to check traffic, weather and offers a glimpse inside. This glimpse is only made with the help of a neural rendering to create the experience from the image alone. The Google Cloud immersive stream allows this experience to run on any smartphone. Eco-friendly routing helps the user to save money and fuel by finding the best route with less traffic. A similar feature is now added to Google Flight, where it estimated the carbon emission, price, and schedule.

Video based updates

Google has introduced multimodals from deep mind to auto-generate chapters from text, audio, and video. The video content is sensed more accurately and efficiently. Further, the Google Translate captions feature on YouTube allows the user to translate captions into sixteen languages.

AI in Google Workspace

Reading lengthy documents is now made easy by the automated summarization feature in the Google Docs. Google Docs will automatically parse and pull out the main points for the user. The summarization of contents is likely to be expanded to other Google products in the future.
The transcription feature will be added to the G-meet to capture the points in the meeting. The studio-quality and lighting features will be added to the G-meet using a machine learning-based image processing feature.

Search from anywhere and anytime – Google search

Natural Language Processing has improved the search on the internet. From voice-based search to lens-based search, to multi-feature search, Google has redefined searching with multi-search. The user can now ask a question and add a photo simultaneously. You can add a picture of your dress and type the color you want to look for. Adding ‘near me’ to search helps the user to find the requirements of millions of local businesses. This year the multi-search will be available in English. The next advancement in multi-search will be scene exploration, where the user can pan their camera and ask a question. The scene exploration uses computer vision to connect multiple frames to make up the scene. It identifies all the options in it. Simultaneously, it taps into the richness of the web and Google’s knowledge graph to surface the accurate result.

Example for Multi search

Fair for everyone – Skin tone equity in G products

The Monk skin tone scale is now used in Google Photos and searches to improve the relevancy of information in all backgrounds, especially for makeup queries. The real tone filters are to be launched by this month to work well across skin tones in photos. It allows the user to add the beauty and authenticity of professional editing. This Monk skin tone scale is open-sourced to improve the partnership with the industry. This will allow the creators and publishers to add attributes like skin tone, hair color, and texture to the image.

Say bye to “Hey Google” – Advancements in computing with assistant

The look and talk feature in google assistant allows the user to look into the device and just ask the question by avoiding the phrase ‘Hey Google’. This feature uses six machine learning models like head orientation, lip movement, proximity, contextual awareness, and gaze direction to evaluate user intent in real-time. It also uses the Monk tone scale for better validation.
The quick phrases are personalized features in google assistant. It permits the user to place the request without the hot word.
The more comprehensive neural networks on tenser chips handle on-device machine learning tasks super-fast. For example, the user says play the song Maroon Cardi. The google assistant completes the sentence by playing the Maroon 5 and Cardi B song on Spotify. It enhances natural conversation in G-assistant.

LaMDA 2 – Advanced conversational AI

The LaMDA is a generative language model for dialogue applications that can converse on any topic. The LaMDA 2 is the advanced conversational AI. The AI test kitchen is used to test this feature: imagine it, talk about it, and list its fundamental functions. This LaMDA creates imaginative content based on the user’s request. This feature will further help in planning and learning about the world effectively through Google products. More information about LaMDA 2 is available on AI test kitchen.

Palm for short – Pathways language model

This is the largest model trained with 540 billion parameters. Palm demonstrates processing tasks like generating code from text, answering math words, and joke explanations. It combines this technique with thought-prompting. The thought-prompting describes multi-step problems as a series of intermediate steps.

Google’s new features are deeply concerned with the processing of information with artificial intelligence. Thereby eradicating the traditional way of tedious searching. Day 1 of Google I/O hasn’t been over yet the android-based information is highlighted in the next part – don’t forget to give it a glance.
