Coolest thing so far from Google search event is a feature they are testing a feature that lets you hum or whistle the song stuck in your head and get possible matches. 100 million times a month Google gets queries along the lines of "what song is this?"
If you’ve ever translated text with Lens, it can feel like magic. We’re making it even more magical by applying a cutting-edge

technique called generative adversarial networks (GANs), so newly translated text will blend into the background image…seamlessly.
