What do text-to-image models know about numbers? Find out in our new paper "Evaluating Numerical Reasoning in text-to-image Models" to be presented at #NeurIPS2024 (Wed 4:30-7:30 PM, #5304). Dataset: github.com/google-deepmin… (1386 prompts, 52,721 images, 479,570 annotations)
@FelixHill84 was such an incredible mentor — and occasional cold water swimming partner — to me. He's a huge part of why I joined DeepMind and how I've come to approach research. Even a month later, it's still hard to believe he's gone.
Super proud of what this team is doing! And I can’t wait to share more soon.
We're thrilled to announce SignGemma, our most capable model for translating sign language into spoken text. 🧏 This open model is coming to the Gemma model family later this year, opening up new possibilities for inclusive tech. Share your feedback and interest in early…
🚀Meet Gemini Diffusion, our first diffusion-based and super fast language model, just announced at Google I/O!🚀 Very excited to be able to share what I've been working on for the past little while with our amazing small team @GoogleDeepMind.
We’ve developed Gemini Diffusion: our state-of-the-art text diffusion model. Instead of predicting text directly, it learns to generate outputs by refining noise, step-by-step. This helps it excel at coding and math, where it can iterate over solutions quickly. #GoogleIO
At #ICLR2025, we're diving into what makes prompt adherence evaluators work for image/video generation. Check out our poster Friday at 3 PM: iclr.cc/virtual/2025/p… 🦎 I won't be there but members of the team @OliviaW47557022 & @ChuhanZhang5 will be!
Highly recommend this course.
Our MIT class “6.S184: Introduction to Flow Matching and Diffusion Models” is now available on YouTube! We teach state-of-the-art generative AI algorithms for images, videos, proteins, etc. together with the mathematical tools to understand them. diffusion.csail.mit.edu (1/4)
How to be more emotionally intelligent (without trying so hard) 🧵 for @threadapalooza
Super excited to announce what I’ve been working on for the past few months 💃 GEMMA 3 is out today! It supports 140+ languages, has a context length of 128k tokens and the best part? It’s natively multimodal! 📸
After an amazing 6 years at Google DeepMind, I'm thrilled to announce that I'll be starting a new project at the intersection of multimodal foundation modeling, data curation, and human behavior. If this is of interest to you please reach out!
The RE application is now open: boards.greenhouse.io/deepmind/jobs/… And here is the link to the RS position: boards.greenhouse.io/deepmind/jobs/…
I am hiring for RS/RE positions! If you are interested in language-flavored multimodal learning, evaluation, or post-training apply here 🦎 boards.greenhouse.io/deepmind/jobs/… I will also be #NeurIPS2024 so come say hi! (Please email me to find time to chat)
Felix Hill was a wonderful human being. He was, not only extremely intelligent, creative and passionate, but also very helpful and kind at work. He had a very special thoughtful mind - the rare kind that I’ve learned to deeply appreciate. Beyond work, he brought fun, joy and…

I've had the pleasure and honour of knowing and working with Felix since the first year of his PhD. He was one of our first interns and early hires in DeepMind's language group. We talked about language, AI, philosophy, and occasionally golf, on a regular basis. What a loss 😢
I’m really sad that my dear friend @FelixHill84 is no longer with us. He had many friends and colleagues all over the world - to try to ensure we reach them, his family have asked to share this webpage for the celebration of his life: pp.events/felix
Felix was one of the more senior PhD students I looked up to a lot during my PhD. In addition to being a fantastic and creative researcher, he was one of the kindest colleagues I can think of. I always valued his advice and company. Felix, you will be dearly missed.

Felix is directly responsible for me getting into NLP by responding to a cold email from a clueless maths grad and giving me a summer project. RIP Felix, every subsequent opportunity I’ve had has been downstream of that one small act.
