Posted by Pete Florence, Research Scientist and Corey Lynch, Research Engineer, Robotics at Google Despite considerable progress in robot learning over the past several years, some policies for robotic agents can still struggle to decisively choose actions when trying to…
Posted by David Ha, Staff Research Scientist and Yujin Tang, Research Software Engineer, Google Research, Tokyo “The brain is able to use information coming from the skin as if it were coming from the eyes. We don’t see with the…
Posted by Sian Gooding, Intern, Google Research Illiteracy affects at least 773 million people globally, both young and old. For these individuals, reading information from unfamiliar sources or on unfamiliar topics can be extremely difficult. Unfortunately, these inequalities have been…
Posted by Rishabh Agarwal, Research Scientist and Pablo Samuel Castro, Staff Software Engineer, Google Research, Brain Team Reinforcement learning (RL) is an area of machine learning that focuses on learning from experiences to solve decision making tasks. While the field…
Posted by Nal Kalchbrenner and Lasse Espeholt, Google Research Deep learning has successfully been applied to a wide range of important challenges, such as cancer prevention and increasing accessibility. The application of deep learning models to weather forecasts can be…
Posted by Dana Alon and Jeongwoo Ko, Software Engineers, Google Research Emotions are a key aspect of social interactions, influencing the way people behave and shaping relationships. This is especially true with language — with only a few words, we’re…
Posted by Johan Ferret, Student Researcher, Google Research, Brain Team An approach commonly used to train agents for a range of applications from robotics to chip design is reinforcement learning (RL). While RL excels at discovering how to solve tasks…
