BigQuery and Cloud Machine Learning: advancing large-scale neural network predictions - Intermediate
Featuring Kaz Sato
The real value of BigQuery is not its speed. It's the power of "democratizing enterprise data." Because of BigQuery's scalability, you can isolate any workload on BigQuery from others. That means you can let non-engineers, such as sales, marketing, support and others, execute...
