A catalogue of genetic mutations to help pinpoint the cause of diseases
DeepMind
SEPTEMBER 18, 2023
We've released a catalogue of ‘missense’ mutations where researchers can learn more about what effect they may have. Missense variants are genetic mutations that can affect the function of human proteins. In some cases, they can lead to diseases such as cystic fibrosis, sickle-cell anaemia, or cancer. The AlphaMissense catalogue was developed using AlphaMissense, our new AI model which classifies missense variants.

Auto-Regressive Next-Token Predictors Are Universal Learners
Hacker News
SEPTEMBER 22, 2023
Large language models display remarkable capabilities in logical and mathematical reasoning, allowing them to solve complex tasks. Interestingly, these abilities emerge in networks trained on the simple task of next-token prediction. In this work, we present a theoretical framework for studying auto-regressive next-token predictors. We demonstrate that even simple models such as linear next-token predictors, trained on Chain-of-Thought (CoT) data, can approximate any function efficiently compute
