Posted by Paul Hongsuck Seo and Arsha Nagrani, Research Scientists, Google Research, Perception Team Multimodal video captioning systems utilize both the video frames and speech to generate natural language descriptions (captions) of videos. Such systems are stepping stones towards the…
Posted by Pasin Manurangsi and Chiyuan Zhang, Research Scientists, Google Research Over the last several years, there has been an increased focus on developing differential privacy (DP) machine learning (ML) algorithms. DP has been the basis of several practical deployments…
Posted by Zirui Wang and Jiahui Yu, Research Scientists, Google Research, Brain Team Oftentimes, machine learning (ML) model developers begin their design using a generic backbone model that is trained at scale and with capabilities transferable to a wide range…
Posted by Jiahui Yu, Senior Research Scientist, and Jing Yu Koh, Research Software Engineer, Google Research In recent years, natural language processing models have dramatically improved their ability to learn general-purpose representations, which has resulted in significant performance gains for…
Posted by Aurelien Boffy, Senior Staff Software Engineer, and Roberto Pieraccini, Engineering Director, Google Assistant When people converse with one another, context and references play a critical role in driving their conversation more efficiently. For instance, if one asks the…
Posted by Sara Ahmadian and Matthew Fahrbach, Research Scientists, Google Research, Large-Scale Optimization Team Economics, combinatorics, physics, and signal processing conspire to make it difficult to design, build, and operate high-quality, cost-effective wireless networks. The radio transceivers that communicate with…
Posted by Jason Wei and Denny Zhou, Research Scientists, Google Research, Brain team In recent years, scaling up the size of language models has been shown to be a reliable way to improve performance on a range of natural language…
Posted by Isaac Caswell and Ankur Bapna, Research Scientists, Google Translate Machine translation (MT) technology has made significant advances in recent years, as deep learning has been integrated with natural language processing (NLP). Performance on research benchmarks like WMT have…
Posted by Jimmy (Tsung-Yen) Yang, Student Researcher, Robotics at Google The promise of deep reinforcement learning (RL) in solving complex, high-dimensional problems autonomously has attracted much interest in areas such as robotics, game playing, and self-driving cars. However, effectively training…
John Palowitch and Anton Tsitsulin, Research Scientists, Google Research, Graph Mining team Graphs are very common representations of natural systems that have connected relational components, such as social networks, traffic infrastructure, molecules, and the internet. Graph neural networks (GNNs) are…
