While large language models appear to have a rich understanding of the world, how do we know they’re not simply regurgitating from training data? Check out the latest AI Explorable on a phenomenon called grokking to learn more about how models learn. → goo.gle/45ohnQh

In partnership with @GoogleMagenta, we invited 13 professional writers to use Wordcraft, our experimental LaMDA-powered AI writing tool. We've published all of the stories written with the tool, along with a discussion on the future of AI and creativity. g.co/research/wordcraft

Most machine learning models are trained by collecting vast amounts of data on a central server. @nicki_mitch and I looked at how federated learning makes it possible to train models without any user's raw data leaving their device. pair.withgoogle.com/explorab…
🤔 We've come a long way with #NLP, but what have language models actually learned? Watch Senior Software Engineer at Google PAIR, Nithum Thain, discuss AI language model learnings → goo.gle/3HVtolv

Check out our new explorable on machine learning calibration: Machine learning models express their uncertainty as model scores, but through calibration we can transform these scores into probabilities for more effective decision making. pair.withgoogle.com/explorab…

Beautiful "RNN with attention" tutorial from one of the authors of Google's troll-fighting AI @Nithum. github.com/conversationai/co…. We presented this toxic comment detection model together in the "Tensorflow and modern RNNs without a PhD" talk. Excuse our French 🤬!

My co-speaker for this session will be @Nithum from Google @JigsawTeam. He fights bad behavior online with neural networks.
