Dive deeper into Gemini with BigQuery and Vertex AI

Traditional barriers between data and AI teams can hinder innovation. Often, these disciplines operate separately and use disparate tools, leading to data silos, redundant data copies, data governance overhead and cost challenges. From an AI implementation perspective, this increases security risks and leads to failed ML deployments and a lower rate of ML models reaching …

Talk like a graph: Encoding graphs for large language models

Posted by Bahare Fatemi, Research Scientist, Google Research, and Bryan Perozzi, Research Scientist, Google Research Imagine all the things around you — your friends, tools in your kitchen, or even the parts of your bike. They are all connected in different ways. In computer science, the term graph is used to describe connections between objects. …

How utilities can prepare for extreme weather with data and AI

Extreme weather events can be catastrophic to both people and the environment. But flash floods, hurricanes and winter storms also profoundly impact utilities. With electricity being the backbone of modern life and business operations, a loss of power can have disastrous consequences that require more than a flashlight and battery-powered radio to be solved. Today, …
