Posted by Ashish Thapliyal, Software Engineer, and Jordi Pont-Tuset, Research Scientist, Google Research Image captioning is the machine learning task of automatically generating a fluent natural language description for a given image. This task is important for improving accessibility for…
Posted by Yi Tay and Mostafa Dehghani, Research Scientists, Google Research, Brain Team Building models that understand and generate natural language well is one the grand goals of machine learning (ML) research and has a direct impact on building smart…
An odor machine, so-called olfactometer, makes it possible to smell in VR environments. First up is a ‘wine tasting game’ where the user smells wine in a virtual wine cellar and gets points if the guess on aromas in each…

Perception – the process of experiencing the world through senses – is a significant part of intelligence. And building agents with human-level perceptual understanding of the world is a central but challenging task, which is becoming increasingly important in robotics,…
The key to maximizing traditional or quantum computing speeds lies in our ability to understand how electrons behave in solids, and researchers have now captured electron movement in attoseconds–the fastest speed yet. Read More
Working alongside robots may contribute to job burnout and workplace incivility, but self-affirmation techniques could help alleviate fears about being replaced by these machines, according to new research. Read More
As we build increasingly advanced artificial intelligence (AI) systems, we want to make sure they don’t pursue undesired goals. Such behaviour in an AI agent is often the result of specification gaming – exploiting a poor choice of what they…
Posted by Zalán Borsos, Research Software Engineer, and Neil Zeghidour, Research Scientist, Google Research Generating realistic audio requires modeling information represented at different scales. For example, just as music builds complex musical phrases from individual notes, speech combines temporally local…
