Nowcasting the next hour of rain

Our lives are dependent on the weather. At any moment in the UK, according to one study, one third of the country has talked about the weather in the past hour, reflecting the importance of weather in daily life. Amongst weather phenomena, rain is espe…

Is Curiosity All You Need? On the Utility of Emergent Behaviours from Curious Exploration

We argue that merely using curiosity for fast environment exploration or as a bonus reward for a specific task does not harness the full potential of this technique and misses useful skills. Instead, we propose to shift the focus towards retaining the …

Challenges in Detoxifying Language Models

In our paper, we focus on LMs and their propensity to generate toxic language. We study the effectiveness of different methods to mitigate LM toxicity, and their side-effects, and we investigate the reliability and limits of classifier-based automatic …

Building architectures that can handle the world’s data

Most architectures used by AI systems today are specialists. A 2D residual network may be a good choice for processing images, but at best it’s a loose fit for other kinds of data — such as the Lidar signals used in self-driving cars or the torques use…

Generally capable agents emerge from open-ended play

In recent years, artificial intelligence agents have succeeded in a range of complex game environments. For instance, AlphaZero beat world-champion programs in chess, shogi, and Go after starting out with knowing no more than the basic rules of how to …

Enabling high-accuracy protein structure prediction at the proteome scale

Many novel machine learning innovations contribute to AlphaFold’s current level of accuracy. We give a high-level overview of the system below; for a technical description of the network architecture see our AlphaFold methods paper and especially its e…
