HEAL: A framework for health equity assessment of machine learning performance

Posted by Mike Schaekermann, Research Scientist, Google Research, and Ivor Horn, Chief Health Equity Officer & Director, Google Core Health equity is a major societal concern worldwide with disparities having many causes. These sources include limitations in access to healthcare, differences in clinical treatment, and even fundamental differences in the diagnostic technology. In dermatology for …

Construction of Paired Knowledge Graph – Text Datasets Informed by Cyclic Evaluation

Datasets that pair Knowledge Graphs (KG) and text together (KG-T) can be used to train forward and reverse neural models that generate text from KG and vice versa. However models trained on datasets where KG and text pairs are not equivalent can suffer from more hallucination and poorer recall. In this paper, we verify this …

Cappy: Outperforming and boosting large multi-task language models with a small scorer

Posted by Yun Zhu and Lijuan Liu, Software Engineers, Google Research Large language model (LLM) advancements have led to a new paradigm that unifies various natural language processing (NLP) tasks within an instruction-following framework. This paradigm is exemplified by recent multi-task LLMs, such as T0, FLAN, and OPT-IML. First, multi-task data is gathered with each …

When do you want to see my Articles?

Over the past few months, I have published a lot of high quality content on AI, LLMs, RAG, Knowledge Bases and on the experiments we are running. Even though this content is AI focused, there is an inherently Philosophical and Psychological connection as we get into biases, semantics, perception and interpretation. In the past week, I …

Corpus Synthesis for Zero-shot ASR Domain Adaptation using Large Language Models

While Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) systems are widely used in many real-world applications, they often do not generalize well to new domains and need to be finetuned on data from these domains. However, target-domain data is usually not readily available in many scenarios. In this paper, we propose a new strategy for adapting ASR models …

The future of 5G: What to expect from this transformational technology

Since its rollout in 2019, 5G wireless networks have been growing in both availability and use cases. Apple was one of the first manufacturers to test the appetite for 5G in 2020 by offering its newest iPhone with 5G compatibility. From there, the floodgates opened, and today as much as 62% of smartphones are built …
