MUM (Multitask Unified Model) is a thousand times

[samiaseo55]

If BERT is able to understand language, MUM will generate it. And it is also able to understand both text and images, and practically even video.

Pandu Nayak, Google's chief search scientist and former vice president of search, explained how MUM works in practice:

“Let’s say you want to ask Google a question about fusion data hiking Mount Fuji. MUM understands that you are comparing two mountains, so the route and elevation information may be similar. It could also be understood that in the context of hiking, the word “preparation” could mean, for example, finding the right equipment (clothing, shoes, etc.) or fitness training.

MUM is able to display results based on its deep knowledge, such as that both mountains are roughly the same altitude, autumn is the rainy season on Mount Fuji, and it is difficult to get around without a waterproof jacket.”

Pandu Nayak further stated that MUM helps differentiate different brands and provides the latest trusted information about the product/service being queried. MUM can also improve search results faster than in the past.
