General Science

We aim to transform scientific research itself. Many scientific endeavors can benefit from large scale experimentation, data gathering, and machine learning (including deep learning). We aim to accelerate scientific research by applying Google’s computational power and techniques in areas such as drug discovery, biological pathway modeling, microscopy, medical diagnostics, material science, and agriculture. We collaborate closely with world-class research partners to help solve important problems with large scientific or humanitarian benefit.

Practical geospatial and sociodemographic predictors of human mobility

Background: Understanding seasonal human mobility at subnational scales has important implications across sciences, from urban planning efforts to disease modeling and control. Assessing how, when, and where populations move over the course of the year, however, requires spatially and temporally resolved datasets spanning large periods of time, which can be rare, contain sensitive information,...

SAC114 - SSAC Comments on the GNSO New gTLD Subsequent Procedures Draft Final Report

The SSAC makes the following comments and recommendations. For the full and official recommendations see Section 4 of this publication. ● First, the SSAC believes that the introduction of more gTLDs to the root namespace is not consistent with ICANN’s mission and commitment to keep the Internet secure, stable, and interoperable. The fundamental question from the SSAC’s security and stability...
