Google employee Martin Splitt said that a search engine can use machine learning in crawling. It is not yet involved in rendering.
In scanning, machine learning is used for two purposes:
Definition of quality
This allows Google to schedule crawls more efficiently, he said.
Machine learning helps a search engine know if the resource is worth spending on URL crawling based on quality.
Determination of freshness
Google can also use machine learning to figure out if a site needs to be crawled every day or less, based on the frequency of content updates.
