Today we are releasing the best open-weights model you can run on a single device reaching 1339 Elo on LMsys for Gemma 3 27B (aka zizou-10)! Very strong capabilities on math, multilingual, coding, instruction following, function calling !
Gemma 3 is out! We are focused on bringing you open models with best capabilities while being fast and easy to deploy: - 27B lands an ELO of 1338, all the while still fitting on 1 single H100! - vision support to process mixed image/video/text content - extended context window of 128k - broad language support - function call / tool use for agentic workflows Try it out at aistudio.google.com/prompts/…

Very excited about this tutorial at #AAAI2025 on inducing privacy, fairness or robustness to distribution shifts when data is imperfect (e.g. unlabeled, noisy)! You can check out the slides at amartya18x.github.io/files/T…
Very shortly at @RealAAAI , @alexandrutifrea and I will be giving a Tutorial on the impact of Quality and availability of labels and data for Privacy, Fairness, and Robustness of ML algorithms See here amartya18x.github.io/files/T… @MLSectionUCPH @DIKU_Institut @GoogleDeepMind

Inference-time procedures (e.g. Best-of-N, CoT) have been instrumental to recent development of LLMs. The standard RLHF framework focuses only on improving the trained model. This creates a train/inference mismatch. Can we align our model to better suit a given inference-time procedure? We answer this affirmatively, check out the thread below.

Excited to share 𝐈𝐧𝐟𝐀𝐥𝐢𝐠𝐧! Alignment optimization objective implicitly assumes 𝘴𝘢𝘮𝘱𝘭𝘪𝘯𝘨 from the resulting aligned model. But we are increasingly using different and sometimes sophisticated inference-time compute algorithms. How to resolve this discrepancy?🧵

Come and join us! We are looking for great and passionate people who want to improve Gemini Safety!
My team at @GoogleDeepMind in Zurich is hiring. If you are passionate about safety, and the opportunity to actually do pre-training on Gemini scale models (!!) excites you then this is for you!

Finally, we've just published on arXiv my work during an internship in the Responsible AI team@Google Research (joint work with @PreethiLahoti, @packer_ben, Yoni Halpern, @abeirami, @FlavienProst). Let's chat, if you're interested in (post-proc) mitigations for group fairness!

Super happy to share that our paper “Fairness without Demographics through Adversarially Reweighted Learning" has been accepted at #NeurIPS2020. A big thanks to all my co-authors, reviewers, and colleagues at @GoogleAI, #MPI-INF and #MPI-SWS for their valuable feedback!
How can we train ML models to achieve fairness when we do not know protected group memberships? Excited to share a new paper on this (arxiv.org/abs/2006.13114) from my internship @GoogleAI. Joint work with @alexbeutel @edchi @chenjilin @Nithum @FlavienProst and others. 1/n

This work focuses on improving the model performance on worst case groups when no demographic information are available! It is achieved via an adversarial re-weighting learner which identifies computationally identifiable subgroups that underperform.

Check out our poster at #neurIPS19 in the workshop "ML with Guarantees". We will describe how Maximum Mean Discrepancy can improve the trade-off between performance and fairness in production systems (arxiv.org/abs/1910.11779).
