Learning Bias-reduced Word Embeddings Using Dictionary Definitions

Pre-trained word embeddings, such as GloVe, have shown undesirable gender, racial, and religious biases. To address this problem, we propose DD-GloVe, a train-time debiasing algorithm to learn word embeddings by leveraging dictionary definitions. We introduce dictionary-guided loss functions that encourage word embeddings to be similar to their relatively neutral dictionary definition representations. Existing debiasing algorithms …

Low-Rank Optimal Transport: Approximation, Statistics and Debiasing

The matching principles behind optimal transport (OT) play an increasingly important role in machine learning, a trend which can be observed when OT is used to disambiguate datasets in applications (e.g. single-cell genomics) or used to improve more complex methods (e.g. balanced attention in transformers or self-supervised learning). To scale to more challenging problems, there …

Mitigating the Effects of Sanctions on Globalized Supply Chains

Sanctions, restrictions, and geopolitical conflicts can have serious consequences for organizations with complex and globalized supply chains. Organizations with multi-tiered, globalized supply chains have to contend with increasingly complicated operating environments. For example, Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has stemmed the flow of oil, natural gas and grain, and prompted a host of economic sanctions and export …

Open source collaborations and key partnerships to help accelerate AI innovation

Closed and exclusive ecosystems are a barrier to innovation in artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML), imposing incompatibilities across technologies and obscuring how to quickly and easily refine ML models. At Google, we believe open-source software (OSS) is essential to overcoming the challenges associated with inflexible strategies. And as the leading Cloud Native Computing …

Building the most open data cloud ecosystem: Unifying data across multiple sources and platforms

Data is the most valuable asset in any digital transformation. Yet limits on data are still too common, and prevent organizations from taking important steps forward — like launching a new digital business, understanding changes in consumer behavior, or even utilizing data to combat public health crises. Data complexity is at an all time high …
