Google at ICML 2023



Groups across Google actively pursue research in the field of machine learning (ML), ranging from theory and application. We build ML systems to solve deep scientific and engineering challenges in areas of language, music, visual processing, algorithm development, and more. We aim to build a more collaborative ecosystem with the broader ML research community through open-sourcing tools and datasets, publishing our work, and actively participating in conferences.

Google is proud to be a Diamond Sponsor of the 40th International Conference on Machine Learning (ICML 2023), a premier annual conference, which is being held this week in Honolulu, Hawaii. As a leader in ML research, Google has a strong presence at this year’s conference with over 120 accepted papers and active involvement in a number of workshops and tutorials. Google is also proud to be a Platinum Sponsor for both the LatinX in AI and Women in Machine Learning workshops. We look forward to sharing some of our extensive ML research and expanding our partnership with the broader ML research community.

Registered for ICML 2023? We hope you’ll visit the Google booth to learn more about the exciting work, creativity, and fun that goes into solving a portion of the field’s most interesting challenges. Visit the @GoogleAI Twitter account to find out about Google booth activities (e.g., demos and Q&A sessions). See Google DeepMind’s blog to learn about their technical participation at ICML 2023.
