Sorry for covering so many things Gary Illyes of Google said at SMX Advanced, but most of these were my questions that I thought the community would want to hear answers to. Gary was asked if there is anything new with RankBrain and any new machine learning algorithms coming to search any time soon.
Gary said nothing is new with RankBrain, he doesn't think any changes were made to it in a long time. He also said that while Google is working on machine learning algorithms for search, there is nothing new or no new "shiny" machine learning coming to search any time soon.
He did say that RankBrain is now live in all countries and languages now but outside of that, nothing new on the machine learning side with search.
Here are some tweets from the session related to this:
Google isn't anywhere soon going to launch any shinny new machine learning in search said @methode at #smx

"At this point we have launched RankBrain in pretty much all languages." @methode #SMX

Doesn't think they are going to add or launch things into RankBrain. @methode #smx

Rank Brain allows Google to better understand what best results are based on historical search data. No big updates planned. #SMX

Google is exploring using other machine learning into search. But not looking to launch anything new & shiny with it. @methode #smx
