Thrilled to share: #Aletheia, our math research agent, just solved 6/10 notoriously hard FirstProof problems autonomously, the best result in the inaugural challenge! To me, this is even bigger than our historic IMO-gold achievement last year; these problems challenge even top

Very excited to share that an advanced version of Gemini Deep Think is the first to have achieved gold-medal level in the International Mathematical Olympiad! 🏆, solving five out of six problems perfectly, as verified by the IMO organizers! It’s been a wild run to lead this

Super thrilled to share our latest work, AlphaGeometry from @GoogleDeepMind , the first AI system ever approaching the IMO gold medalists in solving Olympiad geometry math problems. Published today at Nature, titled “Solving olympiad geometry without human demonstrations”, our

Excited to share our work on Parti, state-of-the-art text-to-image model that generates photorealistic images with complex compositions & rich world knowledge! Parti shows that autoregressive modeling is powerful & universally applicable! (1/n) Blog/Paper: parti.research.google

A new era of NLP has just begun a few days ago: large pretraining models (Transformer 24 layers, 1024 dim, 16 heads) + massive compute is all you need. BERT from @GoogleAI: SOTA results on everything arxiv.org/abs/1810.04805. Results on SQuAD are just mind-blowing. Fun time ahead!

Excited to share details of AlphaGeometry2 (AG2), part of the system that achieved silver-medal standard at IMO 2024 last July! AG2 now has surpassed the average gold-medalist in solving Olympiad geometry problems, achieving a solving rate of 84% for all IMO geometry problems

Super thrilled to share that our AI has has now reached silver medalist level in Math at #imo2024 (1 point away from 🥇)! Since Jan, we now not only have a much stronger version of #AlphaGeometry, but also an entirely new system called #AlphaProof, capable of solving many more

What's the difference between recent works in semi-supervised learning? Key: consistency training (UDA, FixMatch, ReMixMatch, ICT, etc.) and self-training (#NoisyStudent), see photo below and my recent talk (bit.ly/thangluong-tal… with bonus slides on #MeenaBot!).

Continuing our IMO-gold journey, I’m delighted to share our #EMNLP2025 paper “Towards Robust Mathematical Reasoning”, which tells some of the key stories behind the success of our advanced Gemini #DeepThink at this year IMO. Finding the right north-star metrics was highly

Yes, there is an official marking guideline from the IMO organizers which is not available externally. Without the evaluation based on that guideline, no medal claim can be made. With one point deducted, it is a Silver, not Gold.

🚨 According to a friend, the IMO asked AI companies not to steal the spotlight from kids and to wait a week after the closing ceremony to announce results. OpenAI announced the results BEFORE the closing ceremony. According to a Coordinator on Problem 6, the one problem OpenAI

Glad to share our recent success in applying semi-supervised learning to Google's most fundamental product, Search. Our approach, semi-supervised distillation (SSD), is a simplified version of Noisy Student and an alternative to product distillation. Blog: ai.googleblog.com/2021/07/from-v…

Right before #imo2025, together with colleagues from Mountain View, NYC, Singapore, etc, we all gathered at @GoogleDeepMind headquarter in London for our final push for IMO. I believe that week was when all magic happened! We put all individual recipes (that we figured out

Introducing Selfie, an unsupervised pretraining method that extends the concept of masked language model (e.g., BERT) towards continuous data, such as images. Overall challenging, but promising in low-data regime! Joint work with @thtrieu_ @quocleix arxiv.org/abs/1906.02940

It’s my great honor to have just received the test-of-time award at #ACL2025 from @aclmeeting for our paper “Effective Approaches to Attention-based Neural Machine Translation” (joint work with @hyhieu226 and @chrmanning at EMNLP 2015). It’s the immediate second “attention”
