Happy to announce our foundation model for wearables published at npj Digital Medicine today. This model sets a new standard in #Wearables, significantly outperforming human activity recognition benchmarks in diverse conditions. 🚀 nature.com/articles/s4174…

@chalmermagne A couple of issues, once the funding is allocated, there are no incentives to reform. Second, in my experience with ATI, it seems to be very decentralized that AI researchers don’t know what to do with it. Finally for young researchers who do AI, the support is rather limited.

It's mad that the UK has a national AI institute that remains unaligned and unresponsive to national priorities – the government and the EPSRC should act on these recommendations now, rather than waiting for yet another governance review or funding cycle to come round

🚨 NEW REPORT 🚨 The Alan Turing Institute has visibly struggled, and is now at a critical juncture. The Secretary of State has intervened. What happens next? A new report for @britishprogress by me and @jujulemons sets out a plan: 🧵

If you are working on AI for health×timeseries please consider submitting to our NeurIPS 2025 workshop below. The team has prepared a great lineup of speakers and topics — stay tuned for updates!
Hyewon Jeong@HyewonMandyJ

🩺📈 The "Learning from Time-series for Health (TS4H)" workshop is BACK at NeurIPS 2025 🥳! This workshop unites researchers across health time-series domains (from wearables to clinical systems) to tackle shared challenges. Details: timeseries4health.github.io 🧵 (1/6)

@JasonSynaptic These are two separate issues. Given any year when the total budget is already allocated, good to limit the application numbers to focus on quality over quantity. Budget cut we are seeing is terrible but we shouldn’t be doing rat race hoping grant submissions become a gamble.

@angerhang Under normal circumstances where the budget is at least stable..sure. But it’s not and if large cuts are made, then no the acceptance rate will still be awful and folks may need to resubmit multiple times.

The NIH has decided that scientists can only submit 6 grants a year. OK. But you need a score that’s < 10% at least to get funded. Meaning, at best, 1 out of 10 grants you submit will have a chance (YMMV of course). 🫠

Increasingly, text from everyone looks posh and GPT-like. Am I the only one who starts to miss the messy and imperfect text that we used to receive as that's how we are as humans?

@paulg @Noahpinion Academic tweets are moving to LinkedIn at least. People with more followers get more exposure here while everything else being pushed down.

We pay too much attention to growth hacking but overlook the value of organic growth both in life and at work. Check out my latest essay on this topic: hangyuan.xyz/2025/05/19/bei…

🚨 New preprint on arXiv from @OxWearables @pixl_oxford ! Can vision-language models (VLMs) help automatically annotate physical activity in large real-world wearable datasets (⌚️+📷, 🇬🇧 + 🇨🇳). 📄 arxiv.org/abs/2505.03374 🧵1/7

The tide has turned indeed. A few years back, most of my brightest friends are staying in the US or wanting to move over. The new generation of fresh Europe-educated PhDs are choosing to stay. That's great news for Europe.
Paul Graham@paulg

A smart foreign-born undergrad at a US university asked me if he should go to the UK to start his startup because of the random deportations here. I said that while the median startup wasn't taking things to this extreme yet, it would be an advantage in recruiting.

Excited to be attending #ICLR2025 next week in Singapore! Keen to connect if you are working: * Machine learning for wearables * Generalist medical AI * Multi-modal learning with large-scale datasets (e.g., biobanks) Feel free to reach out 😉

Joyful moments in research often stem from unplanted seeds. The team from @earthspecies showed that our foundation model for humans also worked for behaviour tracking in animals like birds and whale. So fun to learn about the similarities between human and animal behaviours

@angerhang Super cool! What's the reasoning for choosing CNNs as the architecture?

Thought experiment on a commercial biobank: 10% of Chinese population, omics, self-report, imaging and physical measurements. Selected populations will be followed up longitudinally. Participants get paid in cash and shares. Open for all use but insurance and the military.

ML is a fast moving field. A consequence of this is that many junior ML researchers don’t receive good feedback from senior researchers who never played with the ML methods themselves to develop good intuition. Does this only happen in Oxford or across the board?

@DJHunter_EPI @EricTopol @uk_biobank Thanks for pointing out the difference David. Think this approach will likely make the study more inviting for the participants. But as researchers, we need to be ready to to disentangle the effect of feedback in our analysis.

@EricTopol @uk_biobank They key difference is that Our Future Health will offer interested participants information information about risks to their health, and ask participants whether they are interested in prevention and early detection studies.

The @UK_biobank is already considered a leading and invaluable data resource for learning about human health. Complementing that is the Our Future Health initiative , which in just 2 years has reached nearly 2 million UK participants (of 5 million planned), and is now by far the largest research program of its kind.
Our Future Health@ukfuturehealth

This is how many people have signed up to #OurFutureHealth to help researchers find new ways to prevent, detect and treat diseases like dementia, cancer, diabetes, heart disease and stroke. Will you join our community and be part of the answer? ourfuturehealth.org.uk
