This patent is pretty far reaching as it effectively just encapsulates most of the machine learning field. So does not seem enforceable (but you never know - it could take one judge to not understand).

Not sure what Google's main motive behind patenting this is but it's fun to speculate - I am hoping it's just to protect the ML field against patent trolls trying to 'weaponize' patents in the field.
