This week, New York hosts the 2016 International Conference on Machine Learning (ICML 2016), a premier annual Machine Learning event supported by the International Machine Learning Society (IMLS). Machine Learning is a key focus area at Google, with highly active research groups exploring virtually all aspects of the field, including deep learning and more classical algorithms.
We work on an extremely wide variety of machine learning problems that arise from a broad range of applications at Google. One particularly important setting is that of large-scale learning, where we utilize scalable tools and architectures to build machine learning systems that work with large volumes of data that often preclude the use of standard single-machine training algorithms. In doing so, we are able to solve deep scientific problems and engineering challenges, exploring theory as well as application, in areas of language, speech, translation, music, visual processing and more.
As Gold Sponsor, Google has a strong presence at ICML 2016 with many Googlers publishing their research and hosting workshops. If you’re attending, 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 interesting ML problems that impact millions of people. You can also learn more about our research being presented at ICML 2016 in the list below (Googlers highlighted in blue).
