Our Community Mobility Reports, which provide anonymized insights into movement trends, are helping researchers not only understand the impact of policies like stay-at-home directives and social distancing, and also conduct economic forecasting.Ĭommunity Mobility Reports: Navigate and download a report for regions of interest. In the early days of the pandemic, public health officials signalled their need for more comprehensive data to combat the virus’ rapid spread. ENS supplements traditional contact tracing efforts and has been deployed by public health authorities in more than 50 countries, states and regions to help curb the spread of infection.
Apple and Google partnered in 2020 to develop the Exposure Notifications System (ENS), a Bluetooth-enabled privacy-preserving technology that allows people to be notified if they have been exposed to others who have tested positive for COVID-19. Hopefully, there’s something interesting in here for everyone!Īs the impact of COVID-19 took a tremendous toll on people’s lives, researchers and developers around the world rallied together to develop tools and technologies to help public health officials and policymakers understand and respond to the pandemic. This is a long post, but is grouped into many different sections, which you can jump to directly using the table below. For a more comprehensive look, please see our >800 research publications in 2020. In the spirit of our annual reviews for 2019, 2018, and more narrowly focused reviews of some work in 20, this post covers key Google Research highlights from this unusual year. The goal of Google Research is to work on long-term, ambitious problems across a wide range of important topics - from predicting the spread of COVID-19, to designing algorithms, to learning to translate more and more languages automatically, to mitigating bias in ML models. I’m proud of what we’ve accomplished, and excited about new possibilities on the horizon. In 2020, as the world has been reshaped by COVID-19, we saw the ways research-developed technologies could help billions of people better communicate, understand the world, and get things done. Fast forward to today, and while we’re taking on a much broader array of technical challenges, it’s still with the same overarching goal of organizing the world's information and making it universally accessible and useful. When I joined Google over 20 years ago, we were just figuring out how to really start on the journey of making a high quality and comprehensive search service for information on the web, using lots of curiously wired computers.
