google predicition

Just saw this today (probably unveiled at Google I/O?). Anyone planning on using it to predict winners?

LOL - Looking at the example, would lead one to believe that the likely outcome of race data would be "horse."

I am planning on using it to predict where Google's stock is going to go. But for the horses, I don't see where it will be very beneficial, but I could be wrong.

Yeah, you're correct. Now that I've had more time to look at it, it doesn't seem to have the capabilities to do what I had expected. I was thinking this would be along the lines of boosting or ML, but it doesn't seem to have those capabilities (yet).
