Google Research’s Post

Google is breaking down language barriers, making the world more accessible through our diverse products, tools, and applications. Experience understanding with all your senses — hear more from James Manyika (SVP of Research, Technology & Society) on this effort: https://goo.gle/3TvOpdO #Accessibility

Dr. R. Kim and Yossi Matias discuss the importance of understanding real-world challenges both patients and #healthcare providers face. They highlight how #AI is a tool to address these issues, emphasizing that "this is just the beginning": goo.gle/4dVsSDp

Announcing the Open Buildings 2.5D Temporal Dataset, which expands the Open Buildings effort by providing data about building presence over time and height data across the Global South from 2016 to 2023. Learn more at: https://goo.gle/4go9znM

🌟🔍 Meet Philip Sun, Researcher at Google. Philip's work on ScaNN, an efficient vector search library, is critical for machine learning-based recommendation systems across Google's products. Philip's research is key to keeping up with these demands and ensuring Google's products continue to provide relevant and useful suggestions. Explore his latest work: https://goo.gle/3TzC9ZF

Introducing our new whale bioacoustics model, which can identify eight distinct species, including multiple calls for two of those species. The model even includes the “Biotwang” sounds recently attributed to the Bryde’s whale. Learn more at: https://goo.gle/3Znukdk

Hear from James Manyika and Uche Okonkwo on how we're pushing the boundaries of #AI while keeping integrity at the forefront. https://goo.gle/3Xrkbtv #ResponsibleAI

Datasets for evaluation of long video understanding are rare. So with this in mind, today we describe Neptune, an open-source evaluation dataset that includes multiple-choice and open-ended questions for videos of variable lengths up to 15 minutes. Read more at https://goo.gle/3B41nZV

For over a decade, Google Research has been investing in ongoing efforts to track and understand wildfires, using AI technology to provide critical information to communities, emergency responders and researchers. Earlier this year we announced that our Wildfires boundaries alerts on Search and Maps are expanding to 15 countries across Europe and Africa. Today we are excited to announce FireSat, which will be a step change in providing even more accurate information to all those involved in managing wildfires. FireSat is a purpose-built constellation of satellites designed for wildfire detection and tracking, and will offer high-resolution imagery, updated every 20 minutes, to detect wildfires as small as a classroom. Our team at Google Research — together with Muon Space, Earth Fire Alliance and Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation — are working to launch the first satellite in early 2025, with the full constellation to follow in the coming years.
