Peter Ma on Using AI to Find Promising Signals of Alien Life

Peter Ma was bored in his high school computer science class. So he decided to teach himself something new: how to use artificial intelligence to find alien life. That’s how he eventually became the lead author of a groundbreaking study published in Nature Astronomy. The study reveals how Ma and his co-authors used AI to …

Optimize PyTorch training performance with Reduction Server on Vertex AI

As deep learning models become increasingly complex and datasets larger, distributed training is all but a necessity. Faster training makes for faster iteration to reach your modeling goals. But distributed training comes with its own set of challenges. On top of deciding what kind of distribution strategy you want to use and making changes to …

Mix-and-match kit could enable astronauts to build a menagerie of lunar exploration bots

The Walking Oligomeric Robotic Mobility System, or WORMS, is a reconfigurable, modular, multiagent robotics architecture for extreme lunar terrain mobility. The system could be used to assemble autonomous worm-like parts into larger biomimetic robots that could explore lava tubes, steep slopes, and the moon’s permanently shadowed regions.

Pre-trained Model Representations and their Robustness against Noise for Speech Emotion Analysis

Pre-trained model representations have demonstrated state-of-the-art performance in speech recognition, natural language processing, and other applications. Speech models, such as Bidirectional Encoder Representations from Transformers (BERT) and Hidden units BERT (HuBERT), have enabled generating lexical and acoustic representations to benefit speech recognition applications. We investigated the use of pre-trained model representations for estimating dimensional emotions, …

GPT-4

We’ve created GPT-4, the latest milestone in OpenAI’s effort in scaling up deep learning. GPT-4 is a large multimodal model (accepting image and text inputs, emitting text outputs) that, while less capable than humans in many real-world scenarios, exhibits human-level performance on various professional and academic benchmarks.

Building a Media Understanding Platform for ML Innovations

By Guru Tahasildar, Amir Ziai, Jonathan Solórzano-Hamilton, Kelli Griggs, Vi Iyengar Introduction Netflix leverages machine learning to create the best media for our members. Earlier we shared the details of one of these algorithms, introduced how our platform team is evolving the media-specific machine learning ecosystem, and discussed how data from these algorithms gets stored in …

Learning from deep learning: a case study of feature discovery and validation in pathology

Posted by Ellery Wulczyn and Yun Liu, Google Research When a patient is diagnosed with cancer, one of the most important steps is examination of the tumor under a microscope by pathologists to determine the cancer stage and to characterize the tumor. This information is central to understanding clinical prognosis (i.e., likely patient outcomes) and …
