About Us We aim to enhance Gemini's capabilities to become a truly collaborative partner. User intent is typically unveiled through an ongoing, interactive, and multi-step conversation, rather than a single, isolated prompt. We seek for the model to be able to proactively engage by asking clarifying questions, making timely suggestions, and automatically incorporating relevant context from past interactions and personal data. This challenge is conceptualized as an imperfect information game. The core objective is for the model to deduce a user's hidden goals and preferences through cues provided during a conversation. We plan to utilize advanced Reinforcement Learning methods to optimize for long-term user satisfaction, which necessitates solving intricate credit assignment issues within interactive, stateful environments; model robustness issues; and exploration/exploitation strategies.

To make this effort successful, we need a strong RS who can help us deliver state-of-the-art collaborative models. We are looking for a candidate with deep expertise in reinforcement learning and large-scale ML systems. You should be passionate about solving complex, long-horizon problems and excited by the challenge of building truly adaptive and intelligent agents. About You In order to set you up for success as a Research Scientist at DeepMind, we look for the following skills and experience: + PhD in Machine Learning, Reinforcement Learning, Natural Language Processing, or a related field. + Strong data analysis and synthetic data generation skills. + Strong development skills in Python and experience with deep learning frameworks like JAX, PyTorch, or TensorFlow. + Experience building and working with large-scale ML training systems. In addition, the following would be an advantage: + Deep theoretical and practical experience in Reinforcement Learning (e. g. , policy gradient methods, value-based methods, model-based RL, credit assignment, robustness). + Experience developing and training large generative models (LLMs). + Strong track record of academic publications in top-tier conferences (e. g. , NeurIPS, ICML, ICLR, AAAI). + Familiarity with research on game theory, multi-agent systems, or learning from human feedback (RLHF/RLAIF). + Experience building or using user simulators for RL training.
