Announcing the Partnership on AI to Benefit People & Society

We believe that AI has the potential for transformative, positive impact in the world. Fulfilling this potential is not only dependent on the quality of the algorithms being engineered and the data they use, but on the level of public engagement, trans…

Putting patients at the heart of DeepMind Health

From the outset, weve wanted DeepMind Health to be a truly collaborative effort. Too much hospital IT has been developed from a top-down perspective, often repurposing technology built for completely different sectors thousands of miles away from the N…

WaveNet: A generative model for raw audio

This post presents WaveNet, a deep generative model of raw audio waveforms. We show that WaveNets are able to generate speech which mimics any human voice and which sounds more natural than the best existing Text-to-Speech systems, reducing the gap wit…

Applying machine learning to radiotherapy planning for head & neck cancer

Were excited to announce a new research partnership with the Radiotherapy Department at University College London Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, which provides world-leading cancer treatment.1 in 75 men and 1 in 150 women will be diagnosed with oral c…

Decoupled Neural Interfaces Using Synthetic Gradients

Neural networks are the workhorse of many of the algorithms developed at DeepMind. For example, AlphaGo uses convolutional neural networks to evaluate board positions in the game of Go and DQN and Deep Reinforcement Learning algorithms use neural netwo…
