GopherCite: Teaching language models to support answers with verified quotes

Language models like Gopher can “hallucinate” facts that appear plausible but are actually fake. Those who are familiar with this problem know to do their own fact-checking, rather than trusting...

Predicting the past with Ithaca

The birth of human writing marked the dawn of History and is crucial to our understanding of past civilisations and the world we live in today. For example, more than 2,500 years ago, the Greeks...

Learning Robust Real-Time Cultural Transmission without Human Data

In this work, we use deep reinforcement learning to generate artificial agents capable of test-time cultural transmission. Once trained, our agents can infer and recall navigational knowledge...

Probing Image-Language Transformers for Verb Understanding

Multimodal Image-Language transformers have achieved impressive results on a variety of tasks that rely on fine-tuning (e.g., visual question answering and image retrieval). We are interested in...

Red Teaming Language Models with Language Models

In our recent paper, we show that it is possible to automatically find inputs that elicit harmful text from language models by generating inputs using language models themselves. Our approach...

DeepMind: The Podcast returns for Season 2

We believe artificial intelligence (AI) is one of the most significant technologies of our age and we want to help people understand its potential and how it’s being created.

Spurious normativity enhances learning of compliance and enforcement behavior in artificial agents

In our recent paper we explore how multi-agent deep reinforcement learning can serve as a model of complex social interactions, like the formation of social norms. This new class of models could...

Simulating matter on the quantum scale with AI

Solving some of the major challenges of the 21st Century, such as producing clean electricity or developing high temperature superconductors, will require us to design new materials with specific...

Improving language models by retrieving from trillions of tokens

We explore an alternate path for improving language models: we augment transformers with retrieval over a database of text passages including web pages, books, news and code. We call our method...
