Google at ICML 2017
Sunday, August 6, 2017
Posted by Christian Howard, Editor-in-Chief, Research Communications
Machine learning (ML) is a key strategic focus at Google, with highly active groups pursuing research in virtually all aspects of the field, including deep learning and more classical algorithms, exploring theory as well as application. We utilize scalable tools and architectures to build machine learning systems that enable us to solve deep scientific and engineering challenges in areas of language, speech, translation, music, visual processing and more.
As a leader in ML research, Google is proud to be a Platinum Sponsor of the thirty-fourth
International Conference on Machine Learning
(ICML 2017), a premier annual event supported by the
International Machine Learning Society
taking place this week in Sydney, Australia. With over 130 Googlers attending the conference to present publications and host workshops, we look forward to our continued collaboration with the larger ML research community.
If you're attending ICML 2017, we hope you'll visit the Google booth and talk with our researchers to learn more about the exciting work, creativity and fun that goes into solving some of the field's most interesting challenges. Our researchers will also be available to talk about and demo several recent efforts, including the technology behind
Facets
, neural audio synthesis with
Nsynth
, a Q&A session on the
Google Brain Residency program
and much more. You can also learn more about our research being presented at ICML 2017 in the list below (Googlers highlighted in
