The 23andME bankruptcy shows why data protection is important. But for genetic data, the problems are even more serious. Genetic data is used in so many places and is collected so widely that there are dangerous leaks everywhere. So much so that we wrote a paper on it. arxiv.org/abs/2502.09716 1/n

🤔🤖Most AI systems assume there’s just one right answer—but many tasks have reasonable disagreement. How can we better model human variation? 🌍✨

We propose modeling at the individual-level using open-ended, textual value profiles! 🗣️📝

such a monumental loss to everyone who knew him, both in research and other capacities. i first met felix as a very junior phd student and the mentorship, advice and kindness he brought forward cannot be put into words. please share and rsvp if you want to, and are able to come: pp.events/felix

Felix Hill was such an incredible mentor — and occasional cold water swimming partner — to me. He's a huge part of why I joined DeepMind and how I've come to approach research. Even a month later, it's still hard to believe he's gone.

i also know at least one non-nlp/linguistics/academic friend who read it and liked it and wanted to know more so this is definitely proving to be an excellent introduction into language research world
