Research Scientist, Gemini Factuality, Deepmind

Google Google · Big Tech · Mountain View, CA +1

Research Scientist focused on improving the factuality of Gemini models by developing evaluation methods, designing advanced training strategies (pre-training, SFT, RL), and innovating algorithmic interventions for better model calibration and reduced hallucinations. The role bridges research and production, with a strong emphasis on automated evaluation systems.

What you'd actually do

  1. Develop evaluation methods for detecting factual inaccuracies in all LLM generated content.
  2. Design and implement advanced pre-training, supervised fine tuning (SFT), and reinforcement learning strategies to maximize the generation of factual content.
  3. Innovate on algorithmic interventions and data curation strategies to improve model calibration, ensuring Gemini accurately identifies its own knowledge boundaries.
