Deep learning software analyses cardiovascular risk

Heart attacks, strokes and other cardiovascular (CV) diseases continue to be among the top public health issues. Assessing this risk is critical first step toward reducing the likelihood that a patient suffers a CV event in the future. To do this assessment, doctors take into account a variety of risk factors — some genetic (like age and sex), some with lifestyle components (like smoking and blood pressure).

Understanding medical conversations with Google's deep learning tech

Good documentation helps create good clinical care by communicating a doctor's thinking, their concerns, and their plans to the rest of the team. Unfortunately, physicians routinely spend more time doing documentation than doing what they love most — caring for patients. Doctors often spend ~6 hours in an 11-hour workday in the Electronic Health Records (EHR) on documentation. Consequently, one study found that more than half of surveyed do...

Visual translation in real-time from Google Translate

The Google Translate app now does real-time visual translation of 20 more languages. So the next time you’re in Prague and can’t read a menu, we’ve got your back. But how are we able to recognise these new languages? In short: deep neural nets. When the Word Lens team joined Google, we were excited for the opportunity to work with some of the leading researchers in deep learning.  Author: Otavio Good, Software Enginee...

Project Muze: Fashion inspired by you, designed by code

At Google, machine learning comes in different shapes and sizes. We use it in many of our products to make them securer, faster and smarter — it’s what allows you to use your voice to search for information, to translate websites from one language to another, or to search for “hugs” in your Google Photos library. And, as of today, it can help you create virtual fashion designs.

DeepMind AI reduces data centre cooling energy use by 40%

Machine learning is useful in our everyday lives, in applications from smartphone assistants to image recognition and translation, but it could also help deal with some of the world’s most challenging physical problems such as energy consumption. While much has been done to stem the growth of energy use, large commercial and industrial systems like data centres consume a lot of energy and there is much more that can be done, especially give...

Bringing precision to the AI safety discussion

We believe that AI technologies are likely to be overwhelmingly useful and beneficial for humanity. But part of being a responsible steward of any new technology is thinking through potential challenges and how best to address any associated risks. So today we’re publishing a technical paper, 'Concrete Problems in AI Safety', a collaboration among scientists at Google, OpenAI, Stanford and Berkeley. Author: Chris Olah, Google Research

Google collaborates with researchers on AI safety

The Google Research Blog posted a message from Chris Olah of Google Research. He confirmed the publication of "a technical paper, Concrete Problems in AI Safety, a collaboration among scientists at Google, OpenAI, Stanford and Berkeley." This is great news for those who are alarmed over what limits may be over-stepped by AI systems in carrying out their actions, and whether we had better anticipate any event where an AI system does not behave acc...
