With the rise of computing power and advancements in algorithms, there’s something amusing and interesting happening in the field of Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning every day that it becomes difficult to keep up with the pace.

Natural Language Processing is gaining new momentum as transformer models like BERT, GPT, RoBERT, XLNET and others are making it possible to create more advanced chatbots which can closely replicate a human and are easy to deploy and maintain along with huge cost savings.

To be updated with the recent inventions and advancements, here’s a list of top AI blogs I personally follow :

1. Google Research

Google has few of the best talents on the planet working for its Google research, Google Brain and the overall Google team. They have been successful in finding solutions to some of the most challenging computer science problems and are also the developers of ML platforms like Tensorflow.

The Google research blog has all the articles, papers and other relevant content explaining what Google has been able to achieve. This blog is a must to follow for people interested in AI and stay updated with the latest work of a tech-giant.
