Snapshot
Artificial Intelligence could be one of humanitys most useful inventions. At Google DeepMind were a team of scientists engineers machine learning experts and more working together to advance the state of the art in artificial intelligence. We use our technologies for widespread public benefit and scientific discovery and collaborate with others on critical challenges ensuring safety and ethics are the highest priority
The Role
Your job will be to own and lead improvements of meaningful chunks of the web data pipeline. Examples of such chunks are scraping (i.e. transforming raw HTML into clean text data to be used during training potentially including relevant image data) data filtering (removing/down-weighting low-quality content) or adding new data sources (such as historical web crawl data).
Key responsibilities:
- Investigating current results to identify areas for improvement (e.g. based on user feedback or weak eval performance).
- Developing measurements of weakness either as model eval or data pipeline statistics to help drive progress.
- Setting out a medium-term agenda to improve the data pipeline with feedback from peers and key stakeholders and convincing others to join your efforts.
- Working with partner teams in GDM (and wider Google) to leverage existing solutions effectively and communicate necessary infrastructure improvements.
- Day-to-day execution by coding running experiments and reviewing contributions.
About You
In order to set you up for success as a Research Scientist at Google DeepMind we look for the following skills and experience:
- 3 years of experience working as a self-directed engineer or researcher e.g. as senior software developer or graduate student.
- Developing large-scale data (>100M examples) processing pipelines in Python and/or C.
- Evaluating and investigating (pretrained) LLM performance.
In addition the following would be an advantage:
- Filtering data based on heuristic and/or learned signals.
- Working with web data for LLM training such as cleaning data removing duplicates identifying most valuable examples etc.
- Developing advanced LLM metrics (e.g. execution-based using auto-raters etc.)
