According to foreign media reports, Google recently held Cloud Next 2018 event in Tokyo, announcing several new initiatives specifically for the Japanese market.
These initiatives include some basic updates, such as a Coursera course on tensorflow-based machine learning on Google’s cloud platform, a quasi-cloud engineer certification, and fifty hands-on Qwiklabs courses translated into Japanese.
In addition, Google has launched an advanced Solutions lab in Tokyo. Google previously opened similar LABS in Dublin, Ireland, as well as sunnyvale and New York. These LABS offer extensive machine-learning-centric training, provide collaborative workspaces for teams in the company’s four-week machine learning training program, and give them access to Google experts.
Google also announced that it was working with Fast Retailing, the company behind brands such as Uniqlo, to provide it with the latest technology. Fast Retailing is hoping that the Google G kit and machine learning tools will help its zero-sales grow quickly. The project is code-named Ariake.
“Making our information accessible to all employees is one of the foundations of Ariake because it enables people to make decisions using human traits like logic, judgment and empathy,” Tadashi Yanai, CHIEF executive of Fast Retailing, said: ‘We write a business plan every season. We use collaboration tools like G Suite and make sure it’s available to everyone. “Our partnership with Google Cloud has far exceeded demand forecasts and fundamentally changed the way we work together.”
