Open Source AI is Leading to Breakthroughs in Healthcare, Education and Entrepreneurship | Meta This year, we’ve held a series of events to build an open source community and support Llama developers through mentorship, funding and a broad network.

It accelerates many laborious and error-prone clinical tasks, including data abstraction, patient history summarization, and clinical trial matching.

(I make some brief remarks on this work in an interview at Meta: about.fb.com/news/2024/12...)

This last one is big, and has immediate real-world impact: we built an AI framework for processing cancer clinical text, centered on a custom embedding model trained from 8B tokens of real patient notes.

[2] "Empathic Coupling of Homeostatic States for Intrinsic Prosociality" by Yoshida and Man, at the IMOL workshop

We implement a tiny version of empathy in multi-agent RL by coupling the internal drive states of homeostatic agents - and get prosocial behavior!

[1] "Need is All You Need: Homeostatic Neural Networks Adapt to Concept Shift" by Man, Damasio, and Neven, at the NeuroAI workshop

We show that a homeostatic-like mechanism in neural networks helps them to adapt to concept shift.

I'm so excited to be attending my first NeurIPS – after many years of gawking from the outside (FOMOing) at all the wonders taking place in this golden age of AI.

Come say hello! We will be presenting three workshop papers:

Academic writing — get utilized to it.
