Google is now sharing some its most influential research papers to expand discussions and observations on a wide range of topics being studied around world.

"Googlers across the company actively engage with the scientific community by publishing technical papers, contributing open source packages, working on standards, introducing new APIs and tools, giving talks and presentations, participating in ongoing technical debates, and much more," wrote Corinna Cortes and Alfred Spector of the Google Research team in a June 30 post on the Google Research Blog. "Our publications offer technical and algorithmic advances, feature aspects we learn as we develop novel products and services, and shed light on some of the technical challenges we face at Google."

One of the reports, titled "Cloud-based robot grasping with the google object recognition engine," examined how robotics of the future could work with cloud-based controls rather than with on-board controls. Another report examined Photon, a geographically distributed system for joining multiple continuously flowing streams of data in real-time with high scalability and low latency, while another report focused on machine learning, providing a case study for ad click prediction.

In addition, in May, Google launched the Quantum Artificial Intelligence Lab to find ways to make computers smarter so they can help solve challenging problems.
